The Ministry of Agriculture held a national autumn-grain production on-site meeting in Dezhou, Shandong, saying autumn grain accounts for the bulk of annual output and the current period is critical for flood/drought control and yield formation. It ordered a 100-day campaign to strengthen field management and disaster resilience, requiring crop- and region-specific fertilizer and water management and 'one-spray, multi-promotion' measures to upgrade seedling conditions. Provinces were told to implement flood-season agricultural disaster-prevention plans, focus on heavy rain/flooding, drought, heat and typhoons, strengthen monitoring and early warning, and use agricultural disaster-relief funds to minimize losses. The ministry also prioritized intensified control of major pests and diseases — rice borers and 'two-migration' migratory pests, corn borers and southern rust — advancing integrated, coordinated and emergency prevention-and-control measures.
