Lesser Fullness of Grain is Coming, Wheat are Maturing and will be Harvested

Lesser Fullness of Grain is the eighth solar term among the twenty-four solar terms and the second solar term of summer. During the Lesser Fullness of Grain season, agricultural activities gradually enter a busy phase. Spring crops grow rapidly, and the sowing of autumn crops is about to begin.

The Lesser Fullness of Grain is an important period for wheat growth. The northern winter wheat has entered a decisive moment for yield formation, and it is crucial to strengthen fertilizer and water management in the later stage. Measures should be taken to prevent premature aging of roots and leaves, promote full grain filling of wheat, and thereby increase grain weight. At the same time, attention should be paid to watering the "wheat yellow water" well, and the prevention and control of pests and diseases in wheat fields should be strengthened to enhance the growth of wheat. At the same time, effective windproof measures should be taken to prevent the attack of dry hot winds and sudden thunderstorms and strong winds.

In the rice growing areas of the south, "Lesser Fullness of Grain" is the season of abundant rainfall, which is a great opportunity for rice transplanting, and the rice has entered the transplanting season. Only when rivers gradually fill up can there be sufficient water to divert and irrigate farmland. At this time, the crops in the farmland need sufficient water, so people are busy stepping on water trucks and diverting water to irrigate the fields. Adequate and timely rainfall enables cereal crops to thrive.

In addition, for vegetables, farmers should strengthen the cultivation and management of greenhouse crops, pay attention to ventilation and air exchange, especially after rain and clear weather, they should timely remove the film to reduce the temperature and humidity inside the greenhouse. At the same time, attention should be paid to strengthening the prevention and control of pests and diseases. Properly cultivate and manage open field vegetables, fruits, and melons, promptly apply fertilizers, plow and weed, and prevent and control diseases and pests.
