Wheat Faces a Warm Winter, with Increased Risk of Freeze Damage and Drought
Wheat Faces a Warm Winter, with Increased Risk of Freeze Damage and Drought According to a report from the National Climate Center, the 2014 El Nino phenomenon has escalated again and is expected to peak in December, and northern China may see a warm winter this winter. At present, in China's Huang-Huai-Hai wheat region, wheat sown before October 7 is growing noticeably well; if a warm winter occurs, there is a clear trend toward excessive growth, especially in the southern Huang-Huai wheat region, where the risk of excessive wheat growth and winter-spring freeze damage is markedly increased. In the Heilonggang River basin and in Dezhou, Heze and other places in Shandong, because the land is saline-alkali, wheat emergence is poor; especially in areas with annual precipitation of only 500-600 mm, where wheat and corn are double-cropped in 1 year and there is no adequate irrigation, the risk of wheat encountering drought stress during a warm winter increases.
