The 24 solar terms are closely related to people's production and daily life, and they still influence people's production and daily life today. So, how should agricultural activities be arranged during the Cold Dew solar term? During the eighth lunar month, the autumn winds make day and night equal. It is a solar term that symbolizes the change of seasons. On the Autumn Equinox, day and night are of equal length around the world. The weather has already become cool, as the saying goes, "A fall rain brings a chill." Do you know more about the eighth lunar month? If you want to know more, come and see Huayi Network together.

Fruit trees:

  1. Continue to apply pre-flowering fertilizer, arrange labor and prepare materials for tasks such as thinning buds and flowers, whitewashing tree trunks, cleaning orchards, and frost prevention.
  2. Continue to apply base fertilizer for late-maturing varieties. Prepare for establishing new orchards.
  3. Focus on applying base fertilizer and prepare for developing new grape orchards.
  4. Maintain maximum leaf area and optimal photosynthetic efficiency, apply foliar fertilizer, heavily apply post-harvest winter base fertilizer, and strengthen the control of pests that damage leaves, such as aphids. Prevent early leaf fall that may lead to secondary flowering, which affects the number of flowers and yield next year. Develop a winter pruning plan and the production plan for next year.

Animal husbandry:

  1. Carry out autumn epidemic prevention work. This is a season when livestock diseases are common. It is necessary to promptly carry out vaccination against diseases for pigs, cattle, sheep, and rabbits.
  2. As the weather turns cooler, cattle farmers should timely carry out breeding work to ensure that estrous cows are pregnant.
  3. It is the best season for grazing goats. Goats should be released early in the morning and returned to the barn late in the evening to ensure good body condition for winter.
  4. Farmers raising long-haired rabbits should seize the opportunity to carry out autumn breeding work, breed more long-haired rabbits, and improve the efficiency of rabbit farming.
  5. Professional breeders of cattle, sheep, and rabbits should timely plant ryegrass to provide sufficient green feed for cattle, sheep, and rabbits in winter and spring.
  6. For professional breeders of laying hens and ducks, increasing artificial lighting can increase egg production.
  7. October is the molting season for laying hens. Egg production significantly decreases. To accelerate molting, reduce feed intake by about one week at the beginning of molting to cause nutritional deficiency and promote feather loss. In the second half of the molting period, increase nutrition to help them quickly enter the peak egg-laying period.
  8. Prevent the occurrence of avian influenza and carry out timely prevention.

Vegetables:

  1. Strengthen field management. For planting leafy vegetables, melons, and eggplants, strengthen field management, water, prevent drought, apply fertilizers, promote growth, spray non-harmful pesticides to control pests and diseases, and harvest in time to supply the market.
  2. Cultivate soil fertility. Use sunny weather to till vegetable fields, expose and weather the soil, apply organic fertilizer, spray soil disinfectant, sterilize and eliminate pests to improve soil fertility.
  3. New vegetable areas. Add steel frame greenhouses and bamboo greenhouses, gradually expanding the area of protected vegetable cultivation.
  4. Update and maintain greenhouses: Greenhouses made of bamboo that have been used for several years should be updated if seriously damaged, to enhance the cold protection and insulation functions of greenhouses in winter and spring.
  5. Winter and spring greenhouse seedlings and management. It is the period for winter and spring greenhouse seedling cultivation. Make preparations for purchasing seeds, seed treatment, disinfection, soaking, and germination.
  6. Pest and disease occurrence and prevention.
