The autumn sowing period is the foundation and key to doing a good job of wheat pest and disease control. We hope farmers will seize this favorable opportunity of autumn sowing, adopt effective measures, and do a good job of controlling underground pests, wheat powdery mildew and other pests and diseases, striving to eliminate wheat pests, diseases and weeds in the bud.
The technical measures for wheat pest and disease control during the autumn sowing period are as follows:
1. Do a good job of plant quarantine. During the autumn sowing period, seeds are transported frequently, which most easily spreads quarantine pests and diseases. Therefore, quarantine work must be strengthened to strictly prevent quarantine pests and weeds from spreading along with seed transport. When buying seeds, be sure to buy seeds with a quarantine certificate from a seed business unit.
2. Strengthen agricultural control. The main technical measures include reasonable crop rotation, deep plowing to improve the soil, fine land preparation, soil testing and formulated fertilization, reasonable fertilization, not applying unrotted organic fertilizer, sowing at the right time and in the right amount, and clearing volunteer wheat seedlings and weeds from fields, field edges, barnyards and other places.
3. Soil chemical treatment. For plots where underground pests were severe in the previous crop, when preparing the land before sowing, mix the pesticide with dry fine soil, mix evenly, and spread it evenly on the soil surface; after spreading, immediately shallow-plow or harrow, or mix the pesticide with fertilizer and apply it.
4. Carry out chemical seed dressing. Seed coating and chemical seed dressing are economical, simple, safe and highly effective measures for pest and disease control throughout the entire wheat production process, and are also basic key measures for wheat pest and disease control. Their application should be strongly promoted.
