The Hubei Academy of Agricultural Sciences timely organized scientific and technological experts to go deep into the drought-stricken and insect-affected areas of the province and carry out scientific and technological disaster relief activities. More than 100 scientific and technical personnel have been organized into three groups, and have gone to Fuyang, Jingzhou, Jingmen, Suizhou, Dabie Mountains and Other places to focus on the prevention and control of rice planthoppers, to prevent high temperature and heat damage of mid-season rice, and to resist the drought of cotton flowering and bolling.

At the same time, the hospital proposed the current measures for food production and cotton production in response to drought. Rice field tube: adjust the temperature with water to improve the microclimate in the field. For the middle rice fields in the booting and heading, try to establish a water layer of about 3 inches, watering and cooling, and preventing the superposition of drought and high temperature heat damage in mid-season rice. Pay attention to foliar spray fertilizer, mixed fertilizer and fertilizer, enhance the tolerance of rice plants to high temperature, and increase the seed setting rate and 1000-grain weight. Scientifically dispatch water sources to ensure that rice is topped with “borrowing water” and “life-saving water”, with a focus on ensuring rice use at the booting stage. Cotton field tube: look at the sky, see the ground, look at the cotton plant, and determine the irrigation date. Timely irrigation and drought resistance, reduce the loss of buds, increase the number of bolls and ensure the development of fiber. Ditch irrigation should be taken in time, and the time is better before 10 am or after 5 pm. The water penetrates into the two ends of the tank, which is subject to the infiltration of the carcass, so as to avoid the soil compaction caused by the flooding of the large water, causing the buds to fall off too much. Potassium fertilizer is added, because potassium can accelerate the absorption and transportation of nutrients, enhance the drought resistance and resilience of cotton plants; supplement the peach fertilizer; topdressing outside the roots to make up for the lack of absorption capacity of cotton roots in the late stage.
