The arrival of the Autumnal Equinox indicates that most parts of the country have entered the cool autumn and the summer heat has faded away. So when is the Autumnal Equinox in 2022? The Mid-Autumn Festival, which falls on the 15th day of the eighth month in the lunar calendar, is one of China's "four major traditional festivals" along with the Spring Festival, Tomb-Sweeping Day and Dragon Boat Festival. Shuimoxiansheng.com has prepared a special topic for the eighth month of the lunar calendar in 2022, and has prepared a lot of content for everyone.What is the date and time of the Autumnal Equinox in 2022?The Autumnal Equinox of 2022 is at 9:03:31 on September 23, 2022 in the Gregorian calendar, which is Friday, August 28 in the lunar year of Renyin.After the autumnal equinox, the sun's direct point continues to move from the equator to the southern hemisphere, and the days begin to become shorter and the nights longer in all parts of the northern hemisphere, that is, the day begins to be shorter than the night within a day; the opposite is true in the southern hemisphere. Therefore, the autumnal equinox is also called the autumnal equinox. At the North and South Poles, on the day of the autumnal equinox, the sun stays above the horizon all day. After that, as the sun's direct point continues to move south, a six-month polar night begins near the North Pole, gradually expanding and then shrinking in scope; a six-month polar day begins near the South Pole, gradually expanding and then shrinking in scope. What are the farming activities?1. Vegetable management(1) Sowing of overwintering root vegetables. It is most suitable to sow spinach and shallots for wintering in the open field in late September. An agricultural proverb says "Autumnal Equinox comes early, Cold Dew comes late, and it is the right time for sowing at the Autumnal Equinox". Spinach that can be chosen for wintering include Danish Phaeton, Dutch Winter Spinach, and Han Spinach. If sowing is too early, the seedlings will be too vigorous during the winter and have weak cold resistance; if sowing is too late, the seedlings will be too small, which is not conducive to the safe wintering of the seedlings and the yield will be low. Use row sowing or broadcast sowing to ensure uniform sowing, consistent depth and appropriate soil conditions. (2) Plant autumn and winter vegetables at the appropriate time. Warm-loving vegetable crops such as tomatoes, eggplants, peppers, cucumbers, etc. in the solar greenhouse are in the planting period and will be supplied to the New Year's Day, Spring Festival and next spring markets. Choose a sunny afternoon for planting, ensure that the depth and density are consistent, and water the plants in time. (3) Seeding and transplanting of open-field leafy vegetables. Leafy and root vegetables such as rapeseed, chrysanthemum, lettuce, spinach, coriander, and celery that are suitable for sowing or planting in protected areas such as greenhouses and other facilities and in the open field can be harvested and put on the market after 30 to 50 days. Rapeseed, celery and lettuce are transplanted in advance, while spinach, chrysanthemum, fennel, cherry radish and others are seeded directly. (4) Seeding and transplanting of cold-resistant vegetables. A solar greenhouse with poor thermal insulation performance is suitable for growing vegetables with good cold resistance, such as cabbage, cauliflower, lettuce, celery, lettuce, and white radish. 2. Cash crop management (1) For mid-season rice, water management should be strengthened in the later stage, and dry-wet alternating irrigation technology should be adopted. It is not advisable to cut off water too early before harvest, and it is best to cut off water 5-6 days before harvest. This can improve root vitality, nourish roots and leaves, and prevent withering and premature aging. (2) Pick new cotton in stages at the right time, and adhere to the “four divisions and four speeds”, that is, separate collection, separate drying, separate storage, and separate sales, as well as quick collection, quick drying, quick picking, and quick sales, to improve quality. 3. Fruit tree management (1) Citrus. This period is the autumn shoot growth period and the late stage of fruit expansion for citrus, and the branch growth has entered the final stage. We should take advantage of the good climate during the autumnal equinox to manage the autumn shoots well. (2) Banana. Some banana plantations have started harvesting autumn bananas. They weed in time after harvesting, keep buds for a certain period of time according to the scheduled banana harvest season, and irrigate in time to avoid attacks by pests and diseases. |
