2015 Autumn Grain Harvest Approaching: Manage Well to Boost Yields
Editor's note: Due to the abnormal climate this year, with drought and little rain early on and continuous rain later, the seedling conditions of autumn grain crops, especially dryland grain crops, vary greatly, making crop management considerably more difficult, creating conditions for the occurrence of pests and diseases, and proving rather unfavorable to crop growth. In response
