Farmers in Jiangsu Province have been taught the ways of keeping the vegetable greenhouses warm on snowy days in the wake of the first snowfall sweeping the province days ago.
In the wheat fields of Shiji town of Siyang County, the snow covered the wheat. According to agricultural experts, the snowfall has brought some benefits to the growth of wheat, but the accumulation of accumulated water in the snow-melting field is likely to increase the risk of wheat freeze. It is therefore important to manage the fields so as to help the wheat overspend the winter.
In Huai’an and Changshu, agricultural experts were seen instructing greenhouse vegetable growers to carry out snow management and protection. The weight of the frozen snow block can easily cause the canopy to collapse because of the ice in the greenhouse under low temperature. Farmers should strengthen the greenhouse immediately and use multi-layer cover for insulation and warmth.
Greenhouse strawberry is also in the critical stage of growth. In Jurong, County, strawberry growers were taking measures to minimize the possible losses.
Zhu Guojun, one of the strawberry growers, laid a geothermal line around the strawberry shed to mediate the conduction of heat for the maintenance of the temperatures required for strawberry growth.
Another grower has used carbon fire heating to keep the greenhouse warm enough for the growth of the strawberry.
