In summer, most parts of southern China are in the busy season of harvesting mid-season rice. Generally, during the summer solar term, the sunshine in South China is still abundant. Except for the western part of South China, there are not many rainy days, which is beneficial to mid-season rice cutting cotton and spitting. ? 【 In summer, fruits and crops in most areas of our country gradually enter maturity, and farmers step up picking, seize the farming season, and carry out field management such as rice fertilization and weeding. "The summer valley is getting yellow, be careful of the strong wind." After summer, the temperature difference between day and night increases.
