How Can Wheat Resist Late Spring Cold? CPPCC National Committee Member Chai Shouxi Calls for Scientific Research and Development

Safe wheat production is crucial to ensuring a secure food supply. Chai Shouxi, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) and a professor at the College of Agronomy of Gansu Agricultural University, said in an exclusive interview with China News Service on the 5th that in recent years, Chinese wheat has frequently suffered from low-temperature freezing damage, which has even occurred alternately in major winter wheat-producing areas for consecutive years. Freezing damage is devastating, and the losses are often greater than those from drought, "harvest rain," and pests and diseases. It often determines whether there is a harvest at all, rather than whether the harvest is large or small. Freezing damage has risen to become the number one disaster affecting wheat and fruit tree production in certain areas.
