Spring is a critical period for the formation of wheat yield and the prevention and control of gibberellic disease. While strengthening the prevention and control of the epidemic, agricultural and rural departments across Jiangsu actively dispatched agricultural materials, organized and mobilized agricultural technicians to guide production, consolidate the foundation for a bumper summer grain harvest, and ensure food security.
During the epidemic prevention period, due to labor shortages, plant protection drones have become a good helper for field management. Yan Xiulin, a farmer in Jurong, said that by giving priority to plant protection drones, there is no need to worry about finding laborers, and the prevention and control efficiency can be increased by 20 times, without delaying the best time for the prevention and control of scab.

During the epidemic prevention and control period, due to the impact of logistics, the pesticides pre-ordered by some farmers in Hanjiang District, Yangzhou could not arrive in time. The local agricultural and rural departments provided free pesticides to local farmers as soon as possible, which not only caught up with the farming season, but also reduced farmers' cost of growing grain.
