Is it better to rain or not to rain in summer?

Rain in summer is not good for agriculture. Although crops can be replenished with water, there may be heavy rain during the summer. In the case of increasing rainfall, floods may occur in some areas. Generally speaking, nothing is absolutely good or bad. It rains in light summer, whether it is good or bad depends on the actual situation.

During the summer heat, the western part of South China enters the season with the most rainstorm, and the number of rainstorm days in July and August can account for more than 75% of the whole year, usually about 3 days. However, in the eastern part of South China, due to the frequent control of subtropical high, the weather is sunny and hot, and after experiencing a slight summer heat, it began to enter the summer drought period.

Summer agricultural activities

Around summer, agricultural production is mainly engaged in field management except harvesting winter and spring wheat crops in Northeast and Northwest China. Early rice is in the late filling stage, and early-maturing varieties should be harvested before the heat, and the field should be kept dry, moist and dry. Mid-season rice has entered booting stage at jointing stage, so it should be topdressing panicle fertilizer according to its growth situation to promote large panicle and more grains.

The single-season late rice is tillering, so tillering fertilizer should be applied as soon as possible. Double-late seedlings should be protected against pests and diseases, and sufficient fertilizer should be applied 5 ~ 7 days before planting. High temperature in midsummer is the season when aphids, red spiders and other pests flourish, and timely prevention and control of pests and diseases is another important link in field management.
