How do children charge during the summer vacation? Play or take a training class? Poke text

  When the summer vacation comes every year, there are always many children who start their vacation with preview — — Young and small, small and early, rising at the beginning, a seemingly homework-free transition period.

  Should children be allowed to play freely or go to training classes? Many parents are confused.

  Yesterday, the reporter interviewed a number of well-known primary and secondary school teachers and compiled a summer guide for the transition period.

  What if my son is naughty?

  Ms. Jiang, a 34-year-old single mother who lives in Longxi Town, Yubei District, is very worried about her son Lele. She will enter Longxi Primary School in Yubei District next semester, but now she plays mobile phones and watches cartoons at her grandparents’ home every day.

  She said, "I’m afraid my children can’t keep up with them when they go to primary school, but I don’t know what to do."

  Ms. Jiang said that her son was naughty, because she was busy with work and didn’t have much time to discipline, and she was worried that it would be difficult for her son to integrate into the group after attending primary school.

  How to make a daughter develop in an all-round way?

  After the summer vacation, Deng Shujun, who lives in Binxin Jiangnan era in Banan District, still sends her daughter Qiqi to kindergarten every morning to attend a small transition class. Qiqi is 6 years old and will soon enter Songhua River Primary School.

  Deng Shujun feels that her daughter needs to adapt to the life and study in primary school in advance. She said that her daughter has been in a young bridging class for 10 days. In addition to the schedule and the primary school, the classroom knowledge is close to the primary school. "Kiki is quite used to it, but I don’t know if I can adapt as soon as I really enter primary school."

  In addition to enrolling her daughter in a one-month transition class, Deng Shujun plans to enroll in a language class and a painting class next month. "I hope my daughter will develop in an all-round way." Deng Shujun said.

  The interviewed teachers believe that this summer vacation, parents can let their children preview and experience the primary school curriculum properly by guiding and letting their children read the connecting classes. The most important thing is to cultivate children’s good habits and let them lay a good psychological foundation.

  Develop good habits of work and rest

  Tang Jing, a math teacher at Majiapu Primary School, said that after entering the primary school, the school has strict requirements, and the school time is early. Children can’t sleep late, can’t procrastinate, can’t be late casually, and can’t ask for leave casually. The noon nap time is cancelled, and the study schedule is more compact. Every specific time has specific things to do.

  Tang Jing suggested that parents:

  First of all, in order to let children develop good habits of work and rest, in addition to letting children go to the young transition class, they should also adjust their work and rest time appropriately, get up at around 7 o’clock every day, go to bed at 9 o’clock in the evening, and shorten the nap time appropriately. Before and after dinner, parents should discuss some activities with their children, such as painting, playing the piano, playing with toys, reading books, etc., so that children’s lives are full of rhythm.

  Secondly, let the children form the habit of packing their own things, and let the children sort out toys and articles and put them in categories. Teach children to put away their things, where they took them and where they put them at the end of painting, reading storybooks and learning. Let children gradually develop the habit of checking school supplies every day according to their learning situation.

  Third, develop good homework habits, including the habit of doing homework first and then playing after returning home; The habit of calming down and concentrating on homework. Never eat for a while, watch TV for a while and do other things for a while. In addition, it is necessary to cultivate children’s habit of completing homework independently.

  Instill a certain safety awareness.

  Wang Ling, a Chinese teacher at Coral Primary School, said that children who have just entered the first grade are weak in acceptance, and it is difficult for them to adapt to school life for a while. She suggested that parents should exercise their children’s will quality during the holidays and let them know some school rules in advance.

  Secondly, cultivate children to treat their own shortcomings correctly. Many children play games with their classmates in the first grade, but they don’t want to admit it when they lose, and they will make a scene. Parents should take advantage of the summer vacation to correct their children’s personality weaknesses and give them more education on collective spirit.

  In addition, because primary school life is more independent than kindergarten, parents should also instill a certain sense of safety in children.

  It’s easy to be partial if you’re not careful?

  13-year-old Youyou graduated from Liangping’s hometown primary school this summer and moved into her new home in Chunyu Jiangshan Community, Yuzhong District. In more than a month, she will enter Daping Middle School.

  My 27-year-old sister reminded Youyou that junior high school subjects are not as monotonous as primary schools, and it is easy to be partial if you are not careful. To this end, my sister found some summer vacation strategies from the internet, so that my sister could digest and learn by herself. In addition, my sister also arranged for my sister to practice calligraphy, learn to take photos, participate in outdoor activities, etc., and also bought study materials and some seventh-grade papers.

  "My family is more nervous than me." Travel lobbying, although this summer vacation was not arranged by my family, the study time was quite full. "I am full of expectations for the new study life in junior high school."

  Mathematics is a weakness. How to improve it?

  13-year-old Yueyue lives in Tongyuan Community in Banan District. She went to primary school in Wenzhou, Zhejiang, and will return to Chongqing to attend middle school in September.

  Yueyue said that she was a little nervous and was about to enter a new school, meet new classmates and learn different subjects. Therefore, she will preview the textbooks at home this summer vacation.

  "Primary schools are mainly Chinese, mathematics and English, and there are more subjects in junior high school. With so many subjects, I am worried that my daughter can’t adapt at once, and I don’t know how to make her adapt as soon as possible. " Ms. Wang, the mother of Yueyue, told reporters that her education level is not high, and she doesn’t know how to help her children study this summer vacation. "From the perspective of primary school performance, my daughter’s mathematics is a weakness. I heard that girls went to junior high school and it was more difficult for them to learn math than boys. I handed over the burden of tutoring to her brother, arranged to preview junior high school math, and bought a junior high school exercise book to practice in advance. "

  Entering junior high school, subjects have increased a lot. The reporter interviewed teachers from Chongqing No.29 Middle School, Chongqing Foreign Language School and Chongqing Daping Middle School. Teachers said that junior high school is the sublimation of primary school, junior high school students’ lives are more independent, and their study subjects have increased. The focus of the subjects is mainly on the number of languages, and physics and chemistry begin to learn in the second and third grades respectively.

  Teachers of different subjects gave suggestions for connecting the summer vacation of Xiaoshengchu.

  Language: Read one hour of famous books every day.

  Wu Lianzi, a Chinese teacher from the 29th Chinese Language School, said that junior high school students should pay more attention to reading and read for more than one hour every day. The Journey to the West and Luxun are required readings, and Sun Li’s Baiyangdian, Li Ruzhen’s Flowers in the Mirror, Turgenev’s Notes on Hunters and Shen Congwen’s Notes on Xiangxing are also selected readings.

  After reading every day, make some reading notes, including reading content, wonderful paragraphs, feelings and experiences.

  It is also necessary to practice calligraphy. Choose your own block letters and copy one page every day.

  Mathematics: improving abstract logical thinking ability

  Deng Zejuan, a math teacher from No.29 Middle School, said that algebra started to be studied in the first grade. This subject is closely related to old and new knowledge, with strong concepts, enhanced spatial imagination and higher requirements for abstract logical thinking. In addition to the deepening and expansion of teaching content, middle school teaching methods are also different from primary schools, which requires students to improve their learning methods, improve their learning ability and gradually develop their abstract thinking ability.

  This summer vacation, you can preview the knowledge of rational numbers and algebraic expression operation in Grade One (I). Consolidate and strengthen the knowledge and ability related to primary school and junior high school, such as doing four operations of fractions and finding the areas of triangles, parallelograms, trapezoid, circles, irregular polygons, etc. Read books about the history of mathematics or interesting mathematics, such as Mathematical Legends Not Heard in Class: Junior High School Edition, Junior High School Teaching, etc.

  English: Watch the original "Home alone"

  Li Fanlun, an English teacher at Chongqing Foreign Languages School, said that in terms of teaching methods, English classes in primary schools pay more attention to cultivating students’ interests, and attract students’ attention through colorful classroom activities so that students don’t feel bored. Junior high school teachers pay more attention to systematic learning of knowledge.

  It is suggested to practice English writing more during the summer vacation, review primary school English knowledge, recite words, read original English books and watch English movies, such as Home Alone, Finding Nemo and The Wizard of Oz.

  It is also a good choice to participate in Xiaoshengchu Summer Camp, which includes various activities such as sports, singing and dancing, talking with foreign teachers and experiencing advanced teaching.

  Others: Pay attention to domestic and international events.

  Teachers from No.29 Middle School and Daping Middle School suggested:

  1. Preview the teaching materials in advance, read through the teaching materials, and focus on previewing the contents of the previous chapters.

  2. Watch CCTV news broadcast every day and pay attention to domestic and international events.

  3. Read The Complete Works of Chinese Five Thousand Years Up and Down (Literary Edition) to broaden your horizons.

  The world is so big, go out and have a look, learn about history, increase your knowledge and enrich your life during the tour.

  5. Do more physical science experiments.

  6. Before learning chemistry, the most important thing is to memorize the chemical language, including reciting the periodic table of elements and chemical equations.

  Will you encounter a duel in the first year of high school?

  Dai Song, a 15-year-old member, graduated from Sungang Middle School in Shenzhen in junior high school and will soon return to Chongqing to attend senior high school.

  Member Dai Song said that although he learned something about the study and life in senior high schools from his classmates, he was still worried. "Compared with junior high school, will there be a big difference, especially in the difficulty of subjects? Is it step by step or suddenly?"

  For the arrangement of this summer vacation, member Dai Song wants to go out for a month to relax, and then preview some contents of high school, with the emphasis on science. "The friends around me are in remedial classes. I may also sign up and learn something in advance. It may be easier to go to high school."

  要不要沿用初中那一套?

  即将上高二的杨莎,16岁,就读重庆市第十一中学校。回忆两年前中考完的那个暑假,至今后悔不迭。

  杨莎说,经历了中考以后,整个人放松下来,要么天天看电视、上网,要么外出旅游,根本没有安排时间预习,导致刚上高一时陷入迷茫中。

  杨莎说,高一课程无论数量还是难度,比初中增加不少。对她来说,语文、英语还好对付,数学、物理、化学就吃力了。“我没有及时调整学习方法,仍沿用初中那一套,认为只要上课听懂了就行,不注重提炼总结。再加上,我没有提前预习高中理科的相关课程,学习总是偏被动,久而久之,就被拉开了差距。”杨莎说,足足经过了近一学期调整,总算找回了状态。“如果时间能够倒流,我一定会在那个暑假制定一些学习计划,让自己尽快适应高一,不至于经历一些不必要的心理落差。”

  老师建议》》

  重庆第二外国语学校党政办公室主任彭光勇表示,进入高中后,如果没有良好的学习态度,缺乏科学有效的学习方法和刻苦钻研精神,初中的尖子生很容易滑落下来。

  For this critical transition period, the teacher of Chongqing Second Foreign Language School gave some suggestions.

  Chinese: Reciting articles must be recited.

  1. Look at the news and accumulate as many headlines as possible.

  2. Recharge reading, and recommend Youth Digest, The Analects of Confucius and Yi Zhongtian’s China Wisdom.

  3. Recite all the basic articles required to be recited in junior high school. Because, the college entrance examination must have 64 articles, including 50 junior high schools.

  4. Prepare the ancient Chinese dictionary (business press), the sixth edition of the modern Chinese dictionary (business press), and the Chinese knowledge manual for senior high school.

  Math: Poor junior high school foundation makes it harder to refuel.

General Administration of Market Supervision: Carry out special investigation and management of hidden dangers of roller coaster accidents

  CCTV News:According to the website of the General Administration of Market Supervision, recently, an ejection roller coaster collision occurred in Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, causing many injuries, and the lesson was extremely profound. In order to prevent similar accidents from happening again, the General Administration of Market Supervision decided to carry out special investigation and treatment of hidden dangers of roller coasters (A-class equipment of single-vehicle scooter series and multi-vehicle scooter series in large amusement facilities) nationwide. The relevant matters are hereby notified as follows:

  I. Work objectives

  We will fully implement the main responsibility for the safety of large-scale amusement facilities manufacturing, operating and using units, further standardize the safety management and daily maintenance of roller coasters, improve the quality and safety level of roller coasters, strengthen inspection and supervision, eliminate hidden dangers of accidents, stick to the safety bottom line, and resolutely prevent serious accidents.

  Second, the work content

  (a) the manufacturing unit to carry out investigation and evaluation of hidden dangers.

  The manufacturing unit shall send personnel to participate in the special investigation and treatment of the hidden dangers of roller coasters in use, re-evaluate whether the safety control logic of the equipment is reasonable, focus on checking the operation and wear of the ejection device, lifting device, driving device, braking device, check device and gear train of the roller coaster, improve the corresponding design according to the inspection when necessary, and send the investigation and evaluation report of the ejection roller coaster and the investigation and evaluation report of other roller coasters to each one before January 15, 2024 and June 15, 2024.

  Overseas manufacturing units shall be notified by the relevant operating and using units.

  (two) the operation and use of units to strengthen daily inspection and safety management.

  1. The operating and using units should strictly implement the working mechanism of "daily control, weekly investigation and monthly scheduling", strengthen the daily inspection of roller coasters, and stop using them immediately if there are hidden dangers, analyze the causes of hidden dangers, and take targeted measures to eliminate the root causes of hidden dangers before resuming operation. Before the daily operation of the equipment, the operating unit shall test the functions of the roller coaster’s braking device, driving device and interlocking protection device, and check the roller coaster side guide wheel gap, brake plate position, check device and wheel wear; For the ejection roller coaster, it is necessary to check whether the ejection device is effective, whether the braking device is loose or offset, etc. The above inspection contents should be included in the daily inspection record. Every week, the clearance between guide wheels on the roller coaster side, the position of the brake plate on the track (or the closed state of the brake) and the wheel wear should be inspected and measured, and the inspection and measurement contents should be included in the weekly inspection record. In the monthly dispatch, it should be confirmed that the hidden dangers of accidents found in daily control and weekly investigation have been effectively rectified and eliminated.

  2. Operating and using units should strengthen safety management. For roller coasters with two or more vehicles running in turn on the same track, it should be ensured that the vehicles in front can be launched or lifted only after all the passengers on the vehicles parked at the platform have left, so as to prevent the vehicles in front from retreating and colliding with the vehicles behind.

  (three) inspection agencies to strengthen inspection safety checks.

  When inspection agencies carry out inspection, they should strengthen the functional inspection of roller coaster lifting device, driving device, braking device, check device and gear train, especially the functional inspection of ejection device and braking device of ejection roller coaster. During regular inspection, it is also necessary to check whether the manufacturing unit carries out hidden danger investigation and evaluation as required, whether the daily, weekly, monthly and annual inspection records of the operating and using unit meet the requirements of the operation and maintenance instructions, and whether the main stressed components are replaced due; In the regular inspection items, the position deviation (or brake closed state) of the brake plate on the track and the measurement of the gap between the side guide wheels should be added to check whether the measured values are within the design allowable range. If the above-mentioned functional inspection or inspection finds problems, the corresponding items shall be judged as unqualified, and shall not be used again until the rectification is completed; If there are serious accidents, report to the local market supervision department immediately.

  (four) the supervision institutions to carry out special supervision and inspection.

  Local market supervision departments should carry out special supervision and inspection of roller coasters within their jurisdiction, urge manufacturing, operating and using units to seriously carry out investigation and rectification of hidden dangers of accidents, urge inspection institutions to strengthen safety and technical checks, and immediately order the equipment that is not in place for investigation and rectification and has hidden dangers of accidents to be stopped, and follow up and urge the rectification.

  Third, the job requirements

  (a) the main responsibility of compaction safety.

Express delivery with insured price of 20,000 yuan will only compensate 250 yuan for the damage? Be careful of these "hidden rules" of express delivery!

  CCTV News:Recently, Mr. Zhong from Beijing mailed a medical device worth 980,000 yuan by SF Express, and he bought 20,000 yuan for insurance and 100 yuan for fear of accidents during transportation. It is found that the express mail is damaged when signing, and it will cost 10 thousand yuan to repair it. Mr. Zhong thought that he had bought 20,000 yuan, and this maintenance fee must be settled. However, when he provided relevant credentials to the courier company, the other party said that he could only pay 250 yuan.

  In response to this customer service, what Mr. Zhong did this time was part of the insured price, which can only be compensated in proportion. In order to get the insured amount of 20 thousand yuan, he should choose the full insured amount.

  SF Express Customer Service:If it’s worth 100,000 yuan, and you insured it for 100,000 yuan, your later maintenance cost will be 10,000 yuan. Under normal circumstances, we will pay you 10,000 yuan in full. If you say that the value of this item is 100,000 yuan, and you insured it for 10,000 yuan, it is not fully insured, then it will generate a proportion of compensation, which is the amount insured by you divided by the actual value of the item and multiplied by your actual loss.

  According to the customer service, the insured price of 20,000 yuan is divided by the equipment of 980,000 yuan, and the compensation ratio is 2%, and the maintenance cost of more than 10,000 yuan is multiplied by 2%, and the final amount that the enterprise needs to pay is 250 yuan.

  Consumer Mr. Zhong:I calculated the goods of 980,000 yuan, and if the price is to be preserved, it will be about 25,000 to 30,000 yuan. I don’t have that much to deliver directly by plane, so there is a big misunderstanding in this thing.

  Is it reasonable and legal to pay in proportion for the damage of express delivery?

  The reporter learned that at present, all express delivery companies have formulated their own insurance standards.

  SF Express has no limit on the value of a single express delivery. The lowest 1 yuan can insure the goods within 500 yuan, and more than 1,000 yuan is charged at five thousandths of the value of the goods;

  The insured fees of Yunda, Shentong and ZTO Express are all charged at 3% of the insured amount, and the upper limit of the value of a single express is 20,000 yuan and 30,000 yuan respectively;

  The value of a single express of Yuantong Express does not exceed 30,000 yuan, the lowest 1 yuan can insure the goods within 1,000 yuan, the premium of 1,000 to 2,000 yuan is 2 yuan, and 2,000 to 10,000 yuan and 10,000 to 30,000 yuan are charged according to 3% and 5% of the insured amount respectively;

  Best Express has a maximum insured price of 10,000 yuan, and the insured fee is charged at 1% of the actual value of the goods.

  The so-called proportional compensation actually refers to the rules of postal insurance in the Postal Law. Article 47 of China’s Postal Law stipulates that postal enterprises should compensate for the loss of vouched mail according to the following provisions: if the insured vouched mail is lost or completely damaged, it should be compensated according to the insured amount; If it is partially damaged or the internal parts are short, the actual loss of the mail shall be compensated according to the ratio of the insured amount to the total value of the mail.

  Experts believe that express delivery service is a transportation contract service. As long as the express delivery company undertakes express delivery, it should pay for the risks involved. The insurance regulations in the Postal Law are not applicable to express delivery companies.

  By default, the clause is checked, and the setting is unclear, which infringes on consumers’ rights and interests

  It seems that there is a certain legal source for the express delivery company to pay in proportion. As far as we know, Mr. Zhong still felt dissatisfied after the customer service responded, so he called 12315 to reflect the situation. With the assistance of 12315 platform, SF paid Mr. Zhong 1000 yuan after many times of communication and negotiation.

  However, whether in 250 yuan or 1000 yuan, for Mr. Zhong, his rights and interests have not been fully protected. What is the problem?

  The reporter learned that most consumers generally understand that the insured amount of express delivery is equal to the amount of compensation that consumers can get. The customer service staff of the courier company said that consumers can see the relevant regulations when paying, but there are still consumers who are not clear.

  Consumer Mr. Deng:Every time you send an express delivery, the express delivery terms are checked by default, so just pay directly.

  The reporter logged into the "sent items" business pages of several courier companies and found that there were some "hidden rules" due to the unclear setting of the "Express Service Terms" of the courier companies. Some terms have been checked by default, while others cannot be paid without checking.

  Some experts believe that this is a violation of consumers’ right to know and choose.

  Lawyers suggest that in this case, consumers can protect their rights through the Contract Law. However, Article 311 and Article 54 of the Contract Law respectively stipulate the compensation for loss of goods and the compensation stipulated in unreasonable contracts.

  Wu Xuemei, Member of Postal Legal Affairs Committee of Beijing Lawyers Association:In fact, the contract law clearly stipulates that if losses are caused to the sender’s goods, it should be compensated according to the law. If there is still a sender who thinks that the agreement in the insured clause is illegal, unfair, or infringed, then he can apply to the court to determine that this clause is invalid, or immediately revoke it.

  Insured price does not mean that insurance express pays in proportion, which is reasonable.

  Since there are no other laws and regulations that clearly stipulate the insured compensation for express delivery, all express delivery companies have formulated their own compensation standards. It must be admitted that it is reasonable to compensate for the partial damage of express goods according to the proportion of lost value. For express delivery companies, buying insurance is not buying insurance. If you don’t pay in proportion, it means that the transportation risk of high-value goods is much higher than the transportation income. In the end, enterprises will reject high-value express mail in order to reduce the risk, and consumers’ rights and interests will also be lost.

  Express payment also needs a market-oriented solution mechanism.

  However, for consumers, although some items are partially damaged, they may not be used. Even if the courier company pays in proportion, the rights and interests of consumers are still not guaranteed. At the same time, there are disputes caused by the fact that it is often difficult to define the proportion of damage.

  As a big country of express delivery, the number of express delivery in 2018 has exceeded 50 billion, and it is estimated that the express delivery volume in 2019 will exceed 60 billion. In the face of such a huge market, in addition to further clarifying the basic principles of compensation for damage and loss of express mail in laws and regulations, we should also explore socialized and market-oriented solutions, such as introducing industry insurance to solve the problem of express delivery compensation.

Common cold OR flu? Find out the three major differences

  The causes, symptoms and infectivity of the two diseases are different.

  Great temperature change and large temperature difference between morning and evening are also important reasons for the high incidence of colds in early spring. At this time of year, the number of hospital respiratory outpatients and inpatients will increase greatly. Chen Dexiong, director of the emergency department of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University, said that many patients think that the flu is a cold, and there is nothing to be afraid of. But in fact, severe flu patients may have coma, convulsions, high fever and nonsense, and even serious cases may lead to death.

  Suffering from the flu, how to deal with it? Chen Dexiong believes that if the symptoms are only sneezing, runny nose and other upper respiratory symptoms, and the systemic symptoms are mild, no fever or only low fever, you can observe them at home first. However, if the patient is an infant or an elderly person, or if the patient has a basic history of heart and lung, the symptoms include chest tightness, palpitation, shortness of breath, dyspnea, poor appetite, etc. Besides fever, it is better to come to the hospital as soon as possible.

  "Many patients tend to confuse the flu with the common cold," Chen Dexiong pointed out. Although the symptoms of the flu and the common cold are similar, they are two completely different infectious diseases. The differences are mainly as follows:

  First, the causes of colds are different. Influenza is an acute respiratory infection caused by influenza virus, which is highly contagious and spreads quickly, through droplets and contact with influenza people. Influenza viruses include three types: A, B and C. People’s influenza is mainly caused by the first two influenza viruses. The common cold can be caused by many pathogens, such as rhinovirus, adenovirus, bacteria and mycoplasma, etc. The common cold often occurs when people’s body resistance drops, such as fatigue and catching cold.

  Second, the symptoms are different. The biggest difference between the flu and the common cold is that the flu is "urgent", with respiratory symptoms such as sudden chills, sudden onset of high fever, headache, general fatigue, stuffy nose, runny nose, etc., but the symptoms are urgent but not easy to get better. The common cold is mild in general symptoms, without fever or low fever, and there will be symptoms of runny nose and sneezing. "The average common cold can be cured in 3-5 days."

  Third, the infectivity is different. Influenza virus can be transmitted to others through coughing and sneezing of people suffering from influenza, which is very contagious, which is why influenza is easy to form an explosive epidemic. The common cold mostly appears individually, and rarely appears in batches. "In addition, the flu has another feature, that is, it has obvious seasonality, and it is relatively high in winter and spring." He said.

  For the prevention of influenza, Chen Dexiong reminded that influenza vaccination is an effective means to prevent and control influenza, while there is no preventive vaccine for the common cold. During the period of high incidence of influenza, people should avoid going to crowded public places, wash their hands frequently, pay attention to indoor ventilation and wear masks in public places; At the same time, strengthen physical exercise, balance diet, enhance physical fitness, avoid catching cold, rain and excessive fatigue, and pay attention to personal hygiene. "These practices are helpful for preventing the common cold and flu." (Reporter Huang Rongfang correspondent Hu Junyan, Bai Wei)

Basic chapter of agricultural technology

Crops’ girlfriends and close friends

1. Corn and soybean are close friends. Corn likes to eat nitrogen fertilizer, and soybeans produce nitrogen fertilizer through nodules. Except for a small part of it, most of it is selflessly supplied to corn, and corn can secrete higher carbohydrates to provide nutrition for rhizobia needed by soybeans.

2, vegetable farmers grow a single kind of vegetables, often pests occur more seriously, if you can plant some irritating vegetables such as garlic, onion, leek, pepper, then pests are not willing to approach. Onion is adjacent to wheat or pea, and the secretion of onion will kill the spores of wheat smut or the black spot of pea in a few seconds. Onions, like green doctors, can protect their neighbors and make them harvest well.

3. Garlic and cotton are planted together. Garlic emits a fungicide, which can drive aphids out of the country. Other pests will smell this gas and run away.

4. Planting a few castor trees beside the soybean field can make the scarab escape.

5. Plant a tall sorghum at a distance of 1.5-2 meters on both sides of the cotton border ditch, so that sorghum aphids can attract aphid-eating natural enemies such as aphid bees, spiders, ladybugs and syrphids to control cotton aphids, feed on the eggs and young larvae of cotton bollworm, and intercrop 200-300 sorghum or corn every 700 square meters, which will not affect cotton production, but also prevent cotton from lodging caused by wind and rain.

6. Intercropping potato with barley can make barley get high yield. This is not only because they need different nutrients and can make full use of soil fertility, but also because the leaves of potatoes secrete a substance that can promote the vigorous growth of barley like growth hormone.

7. Intercropping 300-400 lettuce and mint evenly per mu in cruciferous vegetable fields such as Chinese cabbage. Because lettuce and mint contain alkaloids, volatile oil or other chemicals, the cabbage butterfly that harms cruciferous vegetables will be avoided under the stimulation of the odor emitted by lettuce and mint.

8. Planting green manure, beans and peanuts in the orchard can not only enrich the soil, control weeds, but also promote the growth and fruiting of fruit trees.

9. Planting wheat under jujube trees can basically not shade wheat, and can also reduce the threat of dry and hot wind before wheat matures. At the same time, the fertilizer and water of wheat are also beneficial to the growth of jujube trees.

10. If nematodes are seriously harmful in the orchard, you can plant longevity grass or asparagus in the garden, so that the underground fruit tree nematodes will not conceive and reproduce.

11. Plant some Trollius chinensis beside pear trees and apple trees. Because these roots can absorb the secretion of Trollius chinensis roots, the occurrence of pests and diseases is also light.

12. Cherry and apple are born together. If they are planted together, each can emit a volatile gas, which absorbs each other and promotes growth and development. The fruit is especially sweet.

13. Robinia pseudoacacia and poplar are "friends", Robinia pseudoacacia is a shallow-rooted tree species, and poplar is a deep-rooted tree species, which do not compete for water and fertilizer, and rhizobia of Robinia pseudoacacia can supply nitrogen fixation to poplar and promote its growth.

14. If cucumbers and beans are planted together, they will be full of vitality and the output will increase greatly.

15. Intercropping corn with Chinese cabbage can reduce many diseases of Chinese cabbage. Intercropping corn with Chinese cabbage can reduce virus disease of Chinese cabbage by more than 20%, white spot disease by 18%, and the occurrence of soft rot and downy mildew of Chinese cabbage is obviously reduced because the field temperature is 0.5℃ lower than that of single cropping field and the ground temperature is 2℃ lower.

16. Intercropping corn with hot (green) pepper can reduce the disease of hot (green) pepper. Because of the shading effect of corn, pepper sunburn and virus disease are reduced by 72% compared with single cropping field; Intercropping corn and green pepper can reduce the virus disease of green pepper by 56.9%.

17. Mixed planting of corn and peas will benefit each other and both will increase production.

18. Intercropping potato with garlic can inhibit the occurrence of potato late blight.

19. Intercropping cucumber with corn can reduce the outbreak of cucumber virus disease. Planting cucumber in maize rows can reduce cucumber mosaic by 61.6%.

20. Intercropping ginger and bitter gourd in greenhouse can advance the time for ginger to go on the market. Ginger is not resistant to high temperature and strong light, and grows well in the shade. Planting ginger in greenhouse and planting bitter gourd on both sides can make both bitter gourd and ginger harvest well.

21. Planting Chinese cabbage, celery and amaranth under the cucumber shed can get a bumper harvest.

22, eggplant intercropping green onions and leeks to control ants.

23. Intercropping pepper and cucumber in greenhouse can effectively control pepper anthracnose and cucumber downy mildew.

24. Intercropping cruciferous vegetables such as Chinese cabbage with lettuce to repel Pieris rapae.

25. Intercropping Chinese chives with Chinese cabbages to control soft rot of Chinese cabbages.

26, tomato and cabbage intercropping to repel cabbage pests.

27. Planting calendula with Chinese rose can effectively control soil nematodes and make Chinese rose grow sturdily.

28, grapes and violets are planted together, and the grapes produced are more fragrant.

29. Intercropping peony and Paeonia lactiflora can obviously promote the growth of peony, making peony flourish and colorful.

30. Red rosewood and maple, elderberry and spruce, walnut and hawthorn, chestnut and Chinese pine can promote each other.

31. Lily and rose can be planted or put together in bottles, which can prolong the flowering period.

32. When camellia, camellia, camellia safflower and camellia seed are put together, mold can be obviously reduced.

33, Zhu Dinghong and cordate telosma, camellia red onion, pomegranate and sunflower, Ze hydrangea and rose, a bunch of red and pea flowers together, both sides are beneficial. Pine, poplar and Caragana together, all have good effects.

34. If the nasturtium lappa L. with a flowering period of only one day is put together with cypress trees, the flowering period can be extended to three days.

35. Camellia, camellia, safflower oil tea, etc., placed together with Litsea cubeba, can significantly reduce mildew.

Onions and carrots are good friends, and their smells can repel pests from each other.

opponents bearing grudges/enmity

1. The secretion of Robinia pseudoacacia and Lilac can inhibit the growth of nearby flowers and trees, and Lilac and Violet cannot be mixed.

2. The leaves and roots of walnut can secrete a substance, which has inhibitory effect on flowers and trees of Rosa such as begonia and various herbaceous flowers.

3. It is not suitable to plant fir trees around peach trees.

4. Grapes should not be intercropped with Ulmus pumila.

5. Elm cannot be intercropped with oak and birch.

6. Pine trees and spruce cannot be interplanted.

7. The secretion of Sambucus williamsii root system inhibits the growth of pine and poplar.

8, all kinds of flowers planted next to fruit trees, will accelerate the flower withering.

9. Narcissus and lily of the valley can’t be neighbors. When they grow together, they will "mutually perish together".

10. Cloves planted next to lily of the valley will wither immediately.

11. The scent of cloves will also endanger the life of daffodils.

12. Keeping lilacs, violets, tulips and forget-me-not together will hurt each other.

13, mint, rose and other flowers that can secrete aromatic substances have a certain inhibitory effect on the ecology of neighboring flowers.

14, juniper and pear, begonia don’t plant together, lest the latter suffer from rust, leading to deciduous fruit.

15, roses and mignonette together, the former crowd out the latter, so that a total of withering; And luteolin will release a chemical substance before and after withering, which will poison the rose and kill it.

16, mature apples, bananas, etc., if put together with the blooming roses, Chinese rose, daffodils, etc., the ethylene released by the former will make the potted flowers wither early, thus shortening the viewing period.

17. The leaves, skins and roots of oleander secrete phlogiston and juglone, which will harm other flowers.

18, hydrangea and jasmine, dahlia and rose, daffodils and lily of the valley, roses and cloves planted together, will make both sides or one of them suffer. Pine trees can’t coexist with elderberry, which can not only strongly inhibit the growth of pine trees, but also prevent the pine nuts under the adjacent elderberry from sprouting, and it can’t crowd out the growth of Populus davidiana. Pine trees are antagonistic to ash machinery, spruce, oak and birch, and as a result, pine trees wither. Cypress and citrus reticulata are not easy to grow.

19. Clove, mint and laurel can secrete a lot of aromatic substances, which have an inhibitory effect on the ecology of adjacent plants. It is best not to put them together with other potted flowers for a long time; The volatile oil of juniper contains ether and trichlorotetraalkyl, which will slow down the respiration of other flowers and plants and stop their growth, showing a poisoning phenomenon.

20. Cabbage and mustard are a pair of "enemies". If they get along, they will "both lose".

21. The chemical substances secreted by hemp, mustard and flax have obvious inhibitory effects on wheat.

22. Sunflowers, tomatoes, apples and pumpkins will promote the occurrence of potato late blight.

23. If cypress trees are planted next to the grapes, the grapes will be difficult to mature.

24. Mustard and castor are planted together. Although castor is taller and stronger than mustard, it has an advantage in competing for sunlight, air and water. However, a large number of leaves at the lower part of castor always die because the secretion of mustard is harmful to the growth of castor.

25. The weeds of sonchus oleraceus have grown in the field, and the crops around them, even the tall crops such as corn and sorghum, will be yellow. This is because the roots of sonchus oleraceus will secrete a narcotic toxin, which can inhibit the killing of this crop.

26. The influence of this close relationship between crops is not only manifested in the common growth period of the same year, but also leaves sequela, which continues to harm the next crop. Buckwheat is like this to corn. When corn is planted in the field where buckwheat has been planted, although there is sufficient fertilizer and water and proper management, the corn will never grow well, that is, it will not yield high.

Tips

What is the reason for this close relationship between crops? It turns out that many crops secrete some gas or juice in their bodies. Such as various volatile oils, organic acids, alkaloids, etc. Some of these secretions are released from leaves, stems and flowers, and some are released from roots. The secretions of one crop may promote the growth of another crop, and some indirectly affect other crops through the activities of various microorganisms and pests. These phenomena tell us that planting must be arranged scientifically according to the wonderful relationship of crops, and only in this way can we obtain higher yield.

Mixing of pesticides

For some pesticide varieties, reasonable mixing can improve the control effect, reduce the dosage and reduce the labor cost. Today, I will introduce 22 pesticide mixing prescriptions for the reference of farmers.

Basic knowledge of seed industry

1. What is thoroughbred breeding?

Breeding of improved varieties and breeding are two different and inseparable stages of breeding. Breeding belongs to innovation, while breeding of improved varieties belongs to expansion, consolidation and improvement. There are three conditions for breeding improved varieties: first, Excellence (superiority and excellent traits); The second is uniformity (the characters are neat and consistent); The third is transitivity (Excellence and uniformity should be passed on to future generations).

2. What is the task of improved seed breeding?

There are three main tasks of improved variety breeding: first, variety replacement, that is, replacing old varieties with new varieties that have performed well in regional tests; The second is variety renewal, that is, replacing the same variety that has been degraded in production with the original seed that has been purified and rejuvenated; Third, improved seed breeding units should earnestly do a good job in improved seed breeding, selective processing, packaging and storage, and brand sales to ensure the purity and quality of improved seeds.

3. What is the significance of improved seed breeding?

Only when an excellent variety is planted in a large area, can it give full play to its excellent species and truly achieve "more harvest without increasing labor and fertilizer", which is meaningful for developing agriculture and increasing farmers’ income.

When a new superior variety is popularized, the seed quantity is very small at the beginning, but the seed demand of the seed user is often large, and the contradiction between supply and demand is inevitable. The effective way to solve this contradiction is to speed up the breeding of improved varieties, and do a good job in removing impurities, removing inferiority and purifying and rejuvenating in the process of breeding, so as to increase agricultural production and farmers’ income.

4. What is a variety?

Variety is an important means of production for sowing in agricultural production. It is formed in the long-term cultivation process of human beings and is a group that adapts to certain environmental conditions and cultivation technical conditions.

Generally speaking, varieties are divided into conventional varieties and hybrids, such as wheat 8901 and Jimai 37. Maize Zhengdan 958 and Xingkang No.2 are hybrids.

5. What is an excellent variety?

Different varieties of the same crop species, after more than two years of regular regional trials and regional demonstrations in the local area, the planting performance is obviously better than other varieties. The so-called excellent varieties should meet five conditions: (1) wide adaptability; (2) Strong resistance; (3) Good precocity; (4) high and stable yield; (5) Excellent quality.

6. What is the original seed?

To sum up: the best seed of a certain variety. Include two meanings: (1) newly cultivate seeds with stable characters; (2) Popularize the fine seeds that have been purified and rejuvenated and kept the typical characters of the original varieties.

7. What is a hybrid generation?

The so-called hybrid seed is to use two different types or different parents of the same type as parents to cross, and the first generation of seeds obtained is called hybrid generation, which has strong heterosis, manifested in high yield, strong stress resistance, lodging resistance, pests and diseases resistance and wide adaptability. This is called "heterosis" because it has stronger growth potential and better productivity and resilience than its parents.

8. What can’t the second generation of hybrid be used for planting?

The reason for the heterosis of the first hybrid generation is that they come from two parents with different genetic genes and form a double hereditary zygote through fertilization, which can make the first hybrid generation show strong heterosis.

The second generation of hybrid will produce segregation phenomenon, and the yield will drop significantly, generally by 20 ~ 30%, and some hybrids will reduce the yield even more. Therefore, it cannot be used as seed in field production.

9. What is the hybrid degeneration of varieties?

In the process of planting, excellent varieties will be mixed and degraded due to sowing, harvesting, drying and storage, which makes them unable to play a lasting role in increasing production of improved varieties. "Miscellaneous" refers to mixing with other varieties, resulting in impurity. "Degeneration" means that due to various reasons, the variety itself mutates, the good seeds deteriorate, the yield decreases and the cultivation value is lost.

10. What are the reasons for the mixed degradation of varieties? It comes down to three kinds;

(1) mechanical mixing. It is mainly caused by the unclean cleaning of utensils and places during sowing, harvesting, threshing, transportation, drying and storage, and the careless mixing of other varieties during storage.

(2) Biological hybridity. Even for self-pollinated crops, the hybridization rate is within 4%, and there are opportunities for natural hybridization; Cross-pollinating crops is easier. The offspring of natural hybridization will be separated, and some of them will get better and some will get worse. If you don’t pay attention to selection, you will be mixed and degraded.

(3) The influence of bad cultivation conditions. Due to the change of environmental conditions, some excellent characters of improved varieties have bad variation.

Among these reasons, the main reason is mechanical hybridity. Because of mechanical hybridization, biological hybridization is easy to occur, and biological hybridization breaks the structure of the original genetic material and shakes the heredity of the original variety, so it is easy to undergo natural variation under the influence of environmental conditions.

11. How to purify and rejuvenate conventional seeds and produce simple original seeds?

There are two ways to produce original seeds or simple original seeds:

(1) The method of purifying and rejuvenating plants can be used for major crops. This method is simple, effective and can increase production significantly. The specific methods include three links: single plant selection, line comparison and hybrid breeding. The single plant was selected from the field with high purity, and the plants were compared in the first year. In the second year, select the superior and remove the inferior, then breed the original seed nursery in mixed system, plant the simple original seed field in the third year, and plant the seeds in the field after harvesting. This method is applicable to breeding units and improved seed production and sales units.

(2) Ear selection method or chip selection method. First, select panicles and keep seeds according to the amount of seeds used; The second is to do a good job in getting rid of impurities and bad things in the plots to be planted. This method is applicable to the farmers’ own seed.

12. How to keep seeds of beans?

Beans: Leguminosae plants in a broad sense are included, such as soybean, broad bean, peas, green beans, lentils and peanuts. After harvesting in Taneda, the cut or uprooted seed plants are air-dried, and the plants are left to ripen, and then the shells are removed after the busy agricultural season.

The advantage of leaving the plant for ripening is beneficial to the accumulation of nutrients in the seeds, and it is a safe storage method to protect the viability of the seeds. The seeds are protected by pods outside, which can buffer the moisture change of the seeds.

13, grain purification rejuvenation technology

Breeding of improved varieties and breeding are two different and inseparable stages of breeding. Breeding belongs to innovation, while breeding of improved varieties belongs to expansion, consolidation and improvement. There are three conditions for breeding improved varieties: first, Excellence (superiority and excellent traits); The second is uniformity (the characters are neat and consistent); The third is transitivity (Excellence and uniformity should be passed on to future generations).

14. What is seed inspection?

Seed inspection is also called seed identification. Seed testing is a scientific method to test the quality of seeds. In agricultural production, seed refers to seeds in a broad sense, that is, it refers to all sowing materials, including botanical seeds, such as seeds of beans, cotton and rape, and botanical fruits, such as fruits of rice, wheat, millet and millet, as well as some botanical vegetative organs, such as potato tubers, sweet potato tubers and sugarcane stems.

Seed quality includes two aspects: variety quality and sowing quality. Variety quality refers to the authenticity and purity of seeds.

Sowing quality can be summarized in several words, namely: clean, full, strong, healthy and dry.

15. What are the grading standards for seeds?

Purity, cleanliness, germination rate, moisture

16, cereal seed grading standard?

Among cereal crops, wheat and corn are mainly planted in our city. The grading standards of these two crops are:

The purity of the original wheat seed is not less than 99.9%, the purity is not less than 98.0%, the germination rate is not less than 85%, and the moisture content is not higher than 13.0%;

Improved wheat varieties, the purity is not less than 99.0%, the purity is not less than 98.0%, the germination rate is not less than 85%, and the moisture content is not higher than 13.0%;

Maize single cross:

The purity, purity, germination rate and moisture content of the first-class corn are not less than 98.0%, 98.0%, 85% and 13.0%, respectively.

The purity, purity, germination rate and moisture content of the single cross seed of secondary corn are not less than 96.0%, 98.0%, 85% and 13.0% respectively.

17, fiber seed grading standards

Among fiber crops, cotton is mainly planted in our city, and the grading standard of cotton is as follows

The purity, purity, germination rate and moisture content of the original cotton seed are not less than 99.0%, 97.0%, 70% and 12.0% respectively.

The purity, purity, germination rate and moisture content of fine cotton seeds are not less than 95.0%, 97.0% and 70% respectively.

The purity, purity, germination rate, and moisture content of bare-seeded cotton are not less than 99.0%, 99.0%, 80% and 12.0% respectively.

Fine cotton varieties with bare seeds have a purity of not less than 95.0%, a purity of not less than 99.0%, a germination rate of not less than 80% and a moisture content of not more than 12.0%;

18, oil seed grading standards

Among oil crops, rape and peanuts are mainly planted in our city. Rape is divided into conventional rape seeds and hybrid rape seeds.

The purity, purity, germination rate and moisture content of conventional rapeseed seed are not less than 99.0%, 98.0%, 90% and 9.0% respectively.

Conventional rapeseed varieties have a purity of not less than 95.0%, a purity of not less than 98.0%, a germination rate of not less than 90% and a moisture content of not more than 9.0%;

The purity, purity, germination rate and moisture content of the original peanut seed are not less than 99.0%, 98.0%, 75% and 10.0% respectively.

Peanut varieties, purity not less than 96.0%, purity not less than 98.0%, germination rate not less than 75%, moisture not more than 10.0%;

The purity, purity, germination rate and moisture content of the first-class hybrid rapeseed are not less than 90.0%, 97.0%, 80% and 9.0% respectively.

The purity, purity, germination rate and moisture content of the second-grade hybrid rapeseed are not less than 83.0%, 97.0%, 80% and 9.0% respectively.

19. What is the content of variety purity inspection?

Variety purity includes two meanings: first, it refers to the authenticity of seeds, that is, whether the seeds tested are worthy of the name; Secondly, it refers to the percentage of the seeds (or plants) of this variety in the seeds (or plants) for inspection, that is, the variety purity of this batch of seeds.

Testing the purity of varieties can be divided into two parts: field testing and indoor testing. Field inspection is to check the purity of varieties in the field during the growth period of crops, and to check the infection degree of pests and weeds, as well as the growth status and lodging situation in the field. Indoor inspection refers to taking seed samples back indoors for inspection after harvesting and threshing crops. The main purpose is to understand the authenticity and variety purity of seeds.

Variety purity inspection must be closely combined with field inspection and indoor inspection, and field inspection is the main method.

20. What are the main characteristics to identify the purity of cotton varieties?

Identification of cotton variety purity should be carried out at seedling stage, budding stage, flowering stage, boll opening stage and different growth stages. The identified characters are mainly plant characters, leaf characters, boll characters and cottonseed characters.

(1) Plant characteristics:

(1) Stem: the height and thickness of the stem, the presence and amount of fuzz; Stem colors are purple and green.

② Plant shape: tower shape, cylinder shape, loose or compact, etc.

③ Posture of fruit branches: parallel, inclined and drooping.

(2) Leaf characteristics:

① Cotyledons: The shape, size and color of cotyledons.

② True leaves: true leaf size, the number and depth of leaf cracks, the depth of leaf color, the degree of leaf luster, the number and length of leaf fuzz.

(3) The characteristics of the bell, including the shape, size and color of the bell.

(4) Cottonseed characteristics: including average fiber length, fiber uniformity, cottonseed shape and color; There are many kinds of short fibers.

21. What are the main characters to identify the purity of maize varieties?

Identification of the purity of maize varieties should be carried out at different growth stages, such as seedling stage, jointing stage and tasseling and spinning stage. The identified characters are mainly plant type, number of branches of male spike, anther color, glume protection color, filament color, bract color and stem color.

22. How to observe the seed purity?

In the absence of inspection instruments, observe the purity of seeds, spread some samples on the sample tray or hand, roughly calculate the number of samples first, then tilt the hand or sample tray and shake it slowly to make the seeds flow evenly downwards, and observe the amount of impurities in the hand or plate after the flow.

23. How to distinguish net seeds, other plant seeds and impurities when determining seed clarity?

Net seed: All the species that belong to the analysis can be clearly identified in the seed structure (except those that have become sclerotia, smut spore mass or linear gall). Even immature, thin, shriveled, diseased or germinated seeds are regarded as net seeds. It usually includes complete seed units and damaged seed units larger than half the original size.

Other plant seeds: any plant seed unit except net seeds, including weed seeds and exotic crop seeds.

Impurities: seed units and all other substances and structures except net seeds and other plant seeds.

24, determine the purity of the sample with how much weight is appropriate?

The number of samples to determine the purity is closely related to the size and weight of seeds. Generally, there are fewer small seeds and more large seeds. The specified sample weights of some crops in common use are as follows:

900g of corn and peas, 500g of soybeans and 450g of bitter gourd,

120g of wheat, barley and mung beans, 350g of cotton and 90g of sorghum,

250 grams of watermelon, 200 grams of sunflower and 1000 grams of peanut,

70g of cucumber, melon and cabbage, 7g of tomato and leek.

25. How to control the conditions of seed germination test?

The necessary conditions for seed germination are water, air, temperature and light.

(1) Water content and ventilation: the water content of the germination bed is determined according to the characteristics of the germination bed and seeds. For example, adding water to a sand bed is 60%-80% of its saturated water content, for example, a paper bed, after absorbing enough water, draining the excess water; If the soil is used as a germination bed, add water until the soil sticks into a ball, and then it is appropriate to crush it with a gentle finger pressure. During germination, the germination bed must always be moist, and there should be enough air around the seeds during germination, and attention should be paid to ventilation.

(2) Temperature: When the temperature is appropriate, the seed germination is normal, and too high or too low temperature is unfavorable to the seed germination. Different crops need different temperatures for seed germination. Generally, the temperature is 20-30℃ when crop seeds germinate in summer, and 20-25℃ when crop seeds germinate in winter.

(3) Illumination: The seeds of most crops can germinate under light or dark conditions, but light is generally used. If the germination is carried out under the condition of variable temperature, the illumination should be carried out at high temperature for 8 hours.

26, how to do a good job of seed germination test?

(1) Take samples. From the fully mixed net seeds, 400 seeds are randomly selected by several devices or by hand. Usually, 100 seeds are used as a repeat, and large seeds or seeds with pathogenic bacteria can be divided into 50 seeds or even 25 seeds as a repeat.

(2) Selecting a germination bed. The washed and sterilized sand grains (0.05-0.80mm) are used for large seeds, paper beds are used for small seeds, and paper beds or sand beds can be used for medium seeds.

(3) Bed culture. Evenly arrange the counted seeds on the wet germination bed, and keep a certain distance between the seeds. Label the culture apparatus, culture according to the suitable conditions of the variety, and check the temperature, moisture and ventilation frequently during germination. If there are moldy seeds, they should be taken out and washed. If there are serious moldy seeds, the germination bed should be replaced.

(3) Calculation of results. The percentage of normal seedlings grown within the specified time and conditions to the number of seeds tested is expressed.

27, how to do cloth roll or towel roll germination test?

Cloth roll and towel roll are a simple germination method without germinator.

(1) Boil the gauze or towel for disinfection first, then drain the excess water and spread it flat.

(2) Take 400 samples from the fully mixed net seeds.

(3) When the gauze or towel is spread to dry until it is not hot, arrange the seeds on half a towel, with the grain spacing of 2-3 cm, leaving 3-4 cm on the side and covering with half a cloth or towel.

(4) Put a chopstick on the side, roll the cloth or towel into a stick shape, gently tie the two ends with a rubber band or thread, hang a label and put it in a basin or cup.

(5) Put the pot or cup in a place with suitable temperature, and spray water or water frequently, and check the germination rate regularly.

28. How to do soil germination test?

Circle a small piece of loose soil outdoors, plant the seeds at equal distance, then cover the soil and water it to keep it moist. If the outdoor temperature is low, you can use a shallow bowl or wooden box with a diameter of 6-7 to take loose soil, sieve it, put it into a container to make a germination bed, and add water to wet it. After sowing seeds, when the outdoor temperature is high in sunny days, they can be placed outdoors and cultivated indoors in rainy days. Where there is a greenhouse, the greenhouse soil can be used for sowing. After the seedlings are unearthed, check and record the number of emerging seeds every day. When the specified number of days is reached, record the percentage of normal seedlings in the sown seeds.

29, how to do hot water bottle germination test?

In the absence of germination box, hot water bottle can be used to keep the necessary temperature for germination. The method is to make a hole in the plug of the thermos bottle, insert a thermometer, and fill a small half bottle of water (about 1/3) in the bottle to keep the proper temperature for seed germination, and keep the space temperature in the bottle about 20℃ for crop seeds in winter; For summer crop seeds, keep the space temperature in the bottle at about 30℃, wrap the clean seeds with gauze, put labels on them, and soak them in warm water in the bottle for 8-12 hours. Then the seeds are hung in the space of the bottle, and the water is changed once a day to keep a certain temperature and air in the bottle, so that the seeds are not moldy, and the germination rate is calculated within a specified time.

30. What links should be mastered in the seed germination test?

First, the samples must be accurate and representative. Second, the method must be appropriate. The third is to keep enough water. The fourth is to maintain a suitable temperature. The fifth is to maintain air circulation; Sixth, we must adhere to standards. The seventh is to calculate accurately.

31. How to conduct the rapid germination test of cereals and beans?

The time required for ordinary germination test of cereals and beans is 7-10 days. If rapid germination test is used, it is usually only 2-3 days.

Take 4 parts of cereal or bean seeds, each with 100 seeds, and soak the seeds in warm water at 30℃ for 3-4 hours, with the water surface not higher than 1-2 cm. After soaking the seeds, arrange the seeds in an incubator with wet sand, such as cereal seeds, with the embryo facing upward and a certain distance between the seeds. After the seeds are arranged, gently press the seeds to make them level with the sand surface, then cover the seeds with a layer of wet gauze, cover the gauze with a layer of wet sand with a thickness of 0.5-2 cm, slightly suppress it, and put the culture apparatus at a higher temperature for culture. Soybean and peanut were cultured at 25-30℃, wheat at 28℃ and corn at 35℃ for 2 days and nights. After the arrival time, remove the covered gauze and sand, and calculate the seed germination rate.

32. How to use the "sensory method" to determine seed moisture?

By seeing, touching, biting and listening, the water content of seeds can be distinguished. For example, mature and dry seeds are fresh and shiny, while seeds with high moisture content are dark and lack luster. If you feel cold air when you insert your hand into the seed pile, it takes a lot of effort to bite the seed with your teeth, and the sound is loud and the cross section of the seed is smooth, which means that the seed is relatively dry and the water content is generally 12-13%. If the hand is not easy to insert into the seed pile, the resistance is great, the bite does not take effort, the sound is silent, and the cross section of the seed is rough, which are all manifestations of high water content of the seed, and the water content is generally 15-16%. Testing the color of seeds should be avoided under strong light. When touching seeds, you should wipe the sweat off your hands with a dry cloth.

33. What are the contents of improved seed popularization technology?

Techniques for extension of improved varieties include: (1) Screening of excellent varieties, introducing excellent strains from scientific research institutions and universities all over the country to arrange multi-point tests locally, and screening excellent varieties suitable for local production conditions according to the three-step principle of test, demonstration and extension. (2) Promotion of improved varieties. (2) In the cultivation of improved varieties, we should adhere to the good method of supporting improved varieties. ① In the production of improved varieties, we should adhere to three steps: original seed production, original seed propagation and original seed popularization, and pay attention to the mixing, purification and rejuvenation of varieties, and accelerate variety propagation as soon as possible.

34. Does the seed coating agent affect the bud rate after coating?

As the latest seed treatment agent, seed coating agent has many advantages (such as killing insects, sterilizing, preventing element deficiency disease, stimulating growth with drugs and fertilizers, increasing yield and improving quality), high efficiency, high safety, convenient use, etc., which can generally increase yield by 20%, and has no influence on seed germination rate and emergence rate under normal operation. However, it should be noted that the water content of seeds used for coating must be below 13%. If the water content exceeds 13%, the seeds should be mixed with the coating.

35. What is the combination of improved varieties and good methods?

Only under the suitable cultivation and management conditions can improved varieties give full play to their excellent characteristics and obtain high yield. Therefore, when promoting improved varieties, we should combine the local climate, soil quality and cultivation habits, and formulate cultivation management methods according to the characteristics of improved varieties.

36. What is a seed coating agent?

Seed coating agent, as its name implies, is an agent for dressing seeds. It is a new product of drug-fertilizer compound seed coating, which is made of pesticides, fungicides, compound fertilizers, trace elements, plant growth regulators, slow-release agents and film-forming agents. The product has obvious effects of killing underground pests and seedling pests, preventing and removing seed carrier and root seedling diseases, promoting growth and development, improving quality and improving products.

37. What is seed coating?

Seed coating refers to coating seeds with seed coating agent and treating seeds by manual and mechanical methods according to a certain drug-seed ratio. The seed coating agent is wrapped on the seeds and quickly solidified into a medicine film in 3-5 minutes, as if putting a bullet-proof vest on the seeds.

38. What are the three functions of seed coating agent?

(1) Promote the standardization, pelleting and commercialization of improved varieties, improve the quality of seeds after coating with seed coating agent, ensure the uniformity, completeness and robustness of seedlings, and save seeds at the same time. In addition, it has a warning color, which eliminates the distinction between grain and seed.

(2) Comprehensive prevention and control of diseases, pests, birds, rodents and element deficiency disease. When the coated seeds are sown in the soil, the seed coating forms a barrier around the seeds to sterilize the seeds and prevent the infection of pathogenic bacteria. The trace elements such as manganese, zinc, molybdenum and boron contained in the seed coating agent can effectively prevent and control the nutrient deficiency of crops.

(3) Increase yield by 20-40%, improve product quality, promote rooting and germination, and stimulate plant growth.

39. What are the symptoms after seed coating poisoning? How to save?

All kinds of coating pesticides such as soybean, corn, cotton, millet and wheat are carbofuran, and symptoms often appear in about half an hour after poisoning. It is characterized by nervous excitement, pallor, vomiting, salivation and restlessness; Some patients have purple lips, miosis, convulsion, muscle tremor, etc. Some patients have diarrhea, abdominal pain, cold limbs, etc., and dry rales may appear in lung auscultation; Some patients’ heart rate is accelerated, blood pressure is high and low, and those who take a large amount of oral medicine will soon enter a coma. If the rescue is not timely, they will often die because of respiratory depression.

First aid measures are as follows:

(1) Make the poisoned person leave the polluted area immediately, and untie the tight bundle.

(2) Take off the contaminated clothes and wash the body surface with clear water or soap, especially the parts contaminated by pesticides.

(3) After drinking 1-2 glasses of water, press the back of the throat with your hands, causing vomiting, removing the poison, and making the poisoned person stop poisoning.

(4) After eyes are contaminated, rinse with clear water immediately, and then take atropine according to the doctor’s advice. If you are poisoned by mistake, you should repeatedly induce vomiting until there is no toxic smell. If you have artificial respiration or heart massage, don’t do it mouth-to-mouth. If you are unconscious, you must never feed anything.

(5) Doctors can inject 2mg of atropine sulfate subcutaneously when giving first aid. When the poisoning is serious, the injection amount can be as high as 4mg, and then every 10-15 minutes, 2mg each time. No antidote such as phosphorus poisoning can be used for first aid.

(6) Intravenous infusion of glucose solution or glucose saline plus vitamin C or other symptomatic treatment according to the doctor’s advice, but never use morphine and pralidoxime to rescue.

40. How to choose seed coating agent?

Because of the different ingredients and uses, the seed coating agent is divided into several models, so when using it, the seed coating agent should be selected according to different crops, different regions and different purposes.

41. Why seed treatment?

Seed treatment refers to all kinds of treatments taken for seeds from harvest to sowing. Including cleaning, soaking seeds to accelerate germination, sterilization and disinfection, vernalization treatment, weathering treatment, nutrition treatment and various physical and chemical methods, etc. Through treatment, the seeds can be improved in purity, full and uniform, and can kill the seeds with bacteria, prevent and control plant diseases and insect pests at seedling stage, promote the activity of seed embryo enzymes, improve the germination rate of seeds, increase the nutrition of seedlings and promote growth and development, thus achieving the goal of strong seedlings and promoting crop growth and development.

42. What are the three major modes of action of seed coating agent?

(1) Film-forming property: The key of the seed coating agent is the film-forming agent, which can make the seed coating agent wrap on the seeds and quickly solidify into a film (seed coating), and the coated seeds can be bagged immediately without airing and drying.

(2) Slow-release property: the seed coat can only absorb and swell when it meets water in the soil, but it is hardly dissolved. The coated seeds are slowly released in the ground like a "sub-drug storehouse", and the effective period is generally 40-60 days, which is 2-4 times longer than that of the general seed soaking or seed dressing methods.

(3) Internal absorption conductivity: the main component of the seed coating agent is the pesticide carbofuran. Pesticides such as bactericide, carbendazim and metalaxyl are all efficient and have internal absorption and conduction effects. They can be absorbed by seeds, germinate with the seeds, and be absorbed and conducted to the parts on the ground that have not been applied, and continue to play a role in controlling pests and diseases.

43. How to do the germination test after seed coating agent treatment?

The germination rate of seeds treated with seed coating agent is the most important and last index to determine the quality of seed coating agent products, and it is an important technology to correctly determine the germination rate of seeds. It has special practical significance. At present, many domestic manufacturers have affected the germination rate after coating the seed coating agent, some of which are quality reasons, while others are purely broken for technical reasons when doing germination tests.

Seed germination test, including germination rate and germination potential. Germination potential refers to the percentage of normal germinated seeds in the specified date in the initial stage of germination to the number of seeds tested. The germination rate refers to the percentage of all normal germinated seeds with the final germination period within the specified date to the number of tested seeds.

44. How to determine the 1000-grain weight?

To determine the 1000-grain weight of seeds, we should use the good seeds after removing impurities and waste seeds as samples. First, after mixing, take two samples continuously and indiscriminately, with 500 large seeds and 1000 small seeds in each sample (small seeds can also be counted as 10g seeds, and then converted into 1000-grain weight). Weigh the small seeds to the nearest 0.01g and the large seeds to the nearest 0.1g. If the weight of the two samples does not exceed 5%, take the average as the 1000-grain weight.

45. How to determine the reasonable row, plant spacing and number of plants per mu for different varieties?

Different crops have different rows, spacing and number of plants per mu, and different varieties of the same crop have different rows, spacing and number of plants per mu. Different rows, spacing and number of plants per mu should be determined according to the characteristics and characteristics of different crops and varieties. For example, maize hybrids with tall plants and large spikes with flat leaves should be relatively sparsely planted, and the number of plants per mu is generally 2,800-3,000; However, plants with short plant types and spikelets with raised leaves should be relatively densely planted, and the number of plants per mu is generally 4500-5000; The number of plants in the middle is about 4000. The relationship between row spacing, plant spacing and the number of plants per mu is as follows: the number of plants per mu remains unchanged, and the larger the row spacing, the smaller the plant spacing; Small row spacing means large plant spacing, and the number of plants per mu is equal to 1 mu area divided by row spacing multiplied by plant spacing.

46, what are the three elements of the main crop yield?

The three elements of cereal refer to the number of ears per mu, the number of grains per ear and the 1000-grain weight.

For example, if there are 4000 ears of corn per mu, the number of grains per ear is 420, and the weight of 1000 grains is 320g, the theoretical yield per mu is equal to 4000× 420× 0.320 ÷ 1000 = 537.6kg..

The three elements of cotton yield are: the number of plants per mu, the number of bolls per plant and the weight of bolls.

For example, there are 3500 seedlings per mu of cotton field, 18.8 bolls per plant, and the weight of bolls is 4.24 grams. The theoretical yield of seed cotton per mu is equal to 3500×18.8×4.24÷500=558 kg.

47. Can old seeds be used for sowing?

After long-term storage, if the environmental conditions are suitable and the storage period does not exceed a certain limit, crop seeds can still maintain vigorous vitality, and after sowing, they can also grow into strong seedlings and plants and get a bumper harvest. If it exceeds a certain limit, the vitality will begin to decline and even be completely lost, especially in harsh environmental conditions, which is very obvious.

Sowing with old seeds often leads to seedling deformity, abnormal development, dwarfing of plants, shortened growth period, weakened disease resistance, and decreased yield. This is mainly due to the physiological and genetic changes of embryo cells of old seeds under long-term storage conditions, such as the decline of physiological activities of growth hormones, various enzymes and vitamins, and even chromosome aberration, which seriously affects the viability and germination of seeds and changes the original excellent species. Therefore, sowing with old seeds should be avoided as much as possible in production. However, the phenomenon in the biological world is very complicated. Some old seeds are sown, but they are superior in some aspects. For example, cereals and beans can ripen early by sowing old seeds. Using aged seeds for broad beans can make plants short and strong, shorten internodes, increase pod setting, and use aged seeds for mung beans and radishes can increase production.

Therefore, whether old seeds can be used for sowing cannot be generalized, and it must be confirmed according to specific conditions and through field experiments.

48. What should farmers pay attention to when purchasing seeds?

Attention should be paid to seed purchase: first, the seed selling unit should have a seed business license or a power of attorney for seed consignment; Second, there must be seed labels on the packaging label and inside and outside, and the labels are consistent with the seeds. Third, it is necessary to keep the packaging bags and seed sales invoices in case of seed quality problems.

49. How do farmers store seeds after purchasing them?

During the period from the time when farmers buy seeds to the time before sowing, firstly, it is necessary to prevent mildew, and do not put seeds into woven bags with plastic inner films to prevent boring seeds; Keep it in a ventilated and dry place; The second is to prevent insects from eating, and don’t put it in old granaries, hoarding or cement tanks; The third is to prevent rats from biting, which can be bagged and hung; The fourth is to prevent the seeds from being mixed with commercial grain and being treated as feed or food by mistake.

50. What should I do if the seeds have worms?

Measures should be taken as early as possible to control insects according to the principles of safety, economy and effectiveness, so as to minimize losses. The commonly used methods in production include physical method, mechanical method and chemical agent method.

(1) Physical pest control: sunlight exposure or freezing can be used to kill insects and reduce the moisture content of seeds. Be careful not to expose on the cement floor to prevent germination. Seeds with moisture content exceeding the safe storage limit are not easy to freeze to prevent freezing to death.

(2) Mechanical pest control: it is the use of human or power machinery such as cleaning machines, windmills, screens and other pests control.

(3) Chemical pesticides: commonly used drugs include aluminum phosphide and dichlorvos. Dosage should be used according to the drug instructions, and special attention should be paid to operating procedures and techniques to prevent accidents.

51. How to store sorghum seeds?

Sorghum seeds contain about 70% sugar and 10% protein. Although the variety of red skin contains tannin, it will reduce the water permeability of seed coat, because it contains more hydrophilic colloid, it is still easy to absorb moisture. The equilibrium moisture of sorghum is high, especially the grains with high shell rate, which are easy to be moldy with impurities and bacteria. And the seed coat is thin and vulnerable to pests. Before storage, it should be dried and cleaned, especially to prevent the high temperature and heat damage of sorghum seeds harvested in summer; The moisture content of autumn sorghum seeds should be reduced to about 12%, and moisture-proof, insect-proof and rat-proof storage devices should be selected for sealed storage.

52. How to store soybean seeds?

Soybean is difficult to store because of its high oil content and rich protein. Long-term safe water storage content must be below 12%, preferably between 9-10%, and more than 13% is in danger of mildew. Before entering the warehouse, the damaged particles, frostbite particles, moth-eaten particles and diseased particles should be removed clean to improve the storage stability. After a period of time, the seeds are post-heated and release a lot of moisture and heat, that is, about 3-4 weeks after entering the warehouse, it is necessary to take advantage of sunny days to ventilate and disperse moisture, combined with screening to remove impurities and prevent mildew.

53. How to store pea seeds?

Pea seed coat is thin, and its storage resistance is poor. During storage, it is mainly damaged by pest pea weevil, which overwinters in the warehouse. When peas bloom in the next spring, they fly to the field to mate and lay eggs. Young insects eat beans and grow slowly in them, and continue to do harm with the harvest. To prevent the bean weevil, we can adopt the closed heat preservation method. That is, peas are harvested and dried in sunny days to reduce the water content to below 14%. When the seed temperature is quite high, it is sealed when it is hot, so that the seed temperature can continue to rise due to respiration, and the seed temperature can reach above 50℃. After 30-50 days, the larvae lurking in the beans can be killed. If the number of bean seeds is small, the seed scalding method can be adopted, that is, the sun-dried peas are poured into a bamboo basket, immersed in boiling water, quickly stirred for 25 seconds, then the bamboo basket is taken out, immersed in cold water, then spread and dried for storage.

54. Why can’t seeds be stored with fertilizers?

Fertilizer generally refers to nitrogen fertilizer, such as ammonia water, ammonium bicarbonate, ammonium chloride, urea, etc. This kind of fertilizer is easy to release ammonia gas due to moisture during storage. When stored with seeds, when ammonia gas comes into contact with seeds, it is first adsorbed on the surface of seeds, and then gradually penetrates into cells, damaging the embryo, destroying its respiratory function, seriously affecting the viability of seeds and significantly reducing the germination rate. When the ammonia concentration is high, the seeds will turn dark and die completely in a short period of time, so it is not suitable to be stored in the same warehouse.

55. How long is the life of seeds?

Seed life can be roughly divided into three categories: long-lived seeds (more than 15 years), long-lived seeds (3-15 years) and short-lived seeds (less than 3 years). The length of the first kind of long-lived seeds is long and short, and the second kind of long-lived seeds is normal.

Crops with long-lived seeds include: broad bean, mung bean, Chinese milk vetch, cowpea, adzuki bean, beet, upland cotton, tobacco, sesame, towel gourd, pumpkin, watermelon, melon, eggplant, Chinese cabbage, radish and chrysanthemum.

Crops that are perennial seeds are: rice, naked barley, wheat, sorghum, millet, corn, buckwheat, cotton, sunflower, soybean, kidney bean, pea, rape, tomato, spinach, onion, onion, garlic and carrot.

Crops with short-lived seeds are: sugarcane, peanuts, ramie, pepper, etc. In addition, many trees and fruit trees have short-lived seeds.

56. What are the benefits of soaking seeds?

Soaking seeds before sowing can accelerate the metabolic process of seeds before germination, accelerate the softening of seed coat, promote germination and shorten the time of emergence.

57. How long is it appropriate to soak seeds?

The soaking time depends on the temperature and the condition of the seeds themselves. The higher the water temperature, the faster the water absorption; The seed coat has good water permeability, the seed contains more protein, the seed is small, and the water absorption is faster. Under normal circumstances, the seeds of barley and wheat are soaked for 1 day and night, broad beans for 2 days and nights, cotton bare seeds for 1 day and night, and short fibers for 2 days and nights. At present, the coated seeds are not soaked.

58. Six taboos for seed selection

No matter the soil quality, fertility and management level of cultivated land, people will plant whatever they want.

Second, avoid being new and think that any new variety is a good variety, regardless of whether the variety has passed the examination and approval.

Three bogeys do not choose suitable varieties according to the requirements of accumulated temperature zone, and prefer to plant late-maturing varieties in the crossing area.

Four bogeys tend to be higher and think that "high-priced seeds are good seeds."

Five, avoid laziness, keep seeds, do not carefully clean them, and the impurities exceed the standard.

Sixth, avoid procrastination and procrastination. If you don’t hurry to buy seeds, you often forget to buy seeds when you are about to sow.

59. What are the three methods of soaking crops?

1. Soak the seeds in warm soup. Put the seeds in warm water of 55℃-56℃ (2 parts of boiled water and 1 part of cold water) which is 5-6 times the weight of the seeds, and then stir constantly, so that the water temperature drops to 20℃-30℃ after 10 minutes, and then soak for several hours.

2. Seed soaking agents can be selected according to different diseases and pests of crops. The most commonly used are formalin, potassium permanganate, trisodium phosphate and carbendazim. After soaking seeds, clean water should be used to wash away the liquid medicine on the surface of seeds so as not to affect germination.

3. Soaking seeds in nutrient solution with 500-1000 times of potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution can make seedlings grow sturdily and emerge early. Soaking seeds with solutions such as boric acid, copper sulfate, zinc sulfate and ammonium molybdate can supplement the trace elements needed by crops and increase the yield. Seed soaking concentration is 0.02%-0.1%.

60. How to buy seeds?

61. Several storage methods of crop seeds

Corn seeds can be stored by ear storage and grain storage, and the relative humidity is generally below 80%.

Wheat seeds can be stored in bags and bulk, sealed at low temperature, covered and stored in hot warehouse. Attention should be paid to moisture absorption, dry heat preservation and post-ripening.

Cotton seed storage method: separate the pre-frosted flowers from the post-frosted flowers, and store them separately after rolling. It is best to use the pre-frosted flowers to keep the seeds. The seeds are fully dry and the water content is below 12%. The height of the seed pile should be controlled, and it is appropriate to put them in a semi-warehouse for ventilation. The thermometer should be buried in the probe or the bamboo pole with holes every 3 meters, and the measurement should be made in the bamboo pole.

62. What are the taboos for seed storage?

First, avoid mechanical threshing, second, avoid excessive moisture, third, avoid exposure to the hot sun, fourth, avoid soot fumigation, fifth, avoid chemical pollution, sixth, avoid moisture and mildew, seventh, avoid touching the ground, eighth, avoid excessive sundries, and ninth, avoid rats and insects.

Second, the mothproof method of black self-ash: spread 5 cm thick quicklime on the bottom of the container containing seeds, cover it with gauze or newspaper, cover the surface with gauze or newspaper after the seeds are stacked, cover it with 5 cm thick fresh dry plant ash, cover it tightly, and store it tightly.

3. Mothproof method of tobacco bone leaves: put 7-8 pieces of yellow tobacco leaves at the bottom of the container, and also put 7-8 pieces of yellow tobacco leaves or chopped tobacco bone shreds on the seed pile, and cover them tightly.

4. Chemical moth-proofing method: 80g of dichlorvos is added with 80g of water, and stirred evenly. The old cotton wool, fire brick and rotten cloth are immersed in the liquid medicine, and then wrapped in cloth or newspaper after being picked up, and placed at the bottom or upper layer of the container, with one piece for every 50kg.

5. Biogas moth-proofing method: The cylinder for holding grain seeds is covered with wooden boards, and a hole is drilled in the cover. The biogas plastic pipe is inserted into the cylinder chassis from the hole to form a circle and tied to the nozzle, and several small holes are punched in the pipe wall to make the biogas overflow slowly. After loading the seeds, introduce biogas, cover with a wooden cover and seal.

65. What should I pay attention to when purchasing seeds?

First, we should choose seed companies and business departments with a certain scale and good reputation to buy seeds.

Second, when purchasing varieties, it should be noted that this variety should be approved by the national or local variety approval Committee. If it is a new variety imported from abroad or transported from other places, it should be proved that it has been planted in the local area for one to two years.

Third, the packaging bag (box) for purchasing seeds should be marked with instructions on the production unit of the seed, the characteristics of the variety, the cultivation method, the scope of application, the suitable temperature for cultivation, the disease resistance, etc., and there should also be signs indicating the quality of the seed, including the purity, germination rate, purity and water content of the seed.

Fourth, attention should be paid to keeping the invoice when purchasing seeds, on which the name of the purchased variety and the business unit should be clearly written.

66. What aspects do regular seed companies cover after-sales of improved varieties?

In accordance with the provisions of the Seed Law, regular seed companies can distribute seeds only after the seed management department issues a seed business license. Seeds must meet the national or local seed standards, which are specifically divided into seed purity, seed purity, seed germination rate and seed water content, and the improved varieties are sold to farmers. If there is a wrong variety, or because the four indicators of seeds fail to meet the standards, the seeds will not emerge, the height of the plants is very different, the variety characteristics are quite different, and the yield will decrease. If it is proved by experts that it is a seed quality problem, the company should compensate for the losses according to the Seed Law. In case of natural disasters such as high temperature, low temperature, rainy weather, pests and diseases or improper cultivation management, the company will not bear the losses such as production reduction.

67. Which department is responsible for seed administrative law enforcement?

The administrative departments of agriculture and forestry of the people’s governments at or above the county level are in charge of the work of crops and forest seeds within their respective administrative areas. The seed management institutions under the administrative departments of agriculture and forestry of the people’s governments at or above the county level shall be responsible for the specific seed management.

68, under what circumstances, seed operators do not need to apply for a seed business license?

There are four situations in which the seed business license is not handled. First, seed operators specialize in packaging seeds that are no longer repackaged; Second, it is entrusted in writing by a seed operator with a seed business license to sell its seeds on a commission basis; The third is the branch established by the operator in the effective area stipulated in the business license; Fourth, some of the conventional seeds bred by farmers themselves are sold and exchanged in the bazaars.

69. What procedures do operators who do not apply for seed business licenses need to go through before they can operate seeds?

If a seed operator sells the seeds of a unit or individual with a seed business license, he shall apply for a business license at the local administrative department for industry and commerce with a copy of the other party’s business license, a copy of the business license and a seed consignment agreement; Seed operators who set up branches within the effective area stipulated in the business license must register with the local seed management department before they can operate seeds.

70. What are the requirements of the Seed Law for commercial seeds?

First, seeds must be packaged in small bags; Second, there must be a label on the seed package, and the contents of the label should be complete and true; Third, the seeds must be varieties approved by the state or our province for promotion; Fourth, seed quality standards must meet the standards set by the state.

71. What are the main crops referred to in the Seed Law?

Crops include grain, cotton, oilseeds, hemp, sugar, vegetables, fruit trees, tea trees, flowers, mulberry trees, tobacco, Chinese herbal medicines, grasses, green manure, edible fungi and rubber. The main crops are rice, wheat, corn, cotton, soybean, rape and potato.

Original title: "Fundamentals of Agricultural Technology"

Accelerating the process of local legislation in Henan Province provides legal support for the scientific development of meteorological undertakings.

  Since the promulgation and implementation of the Meteorological Law, Henan Meteorological Bureau has always regarded strengthening legislation as an important task to implement the Meteorological Law and change the development mode of meteorological undertakings. Up to now, the provincial people’s congress has promulgated three local regulations and the provincial government has promulgated four government regulations. The meteorological cause in our province has basically formed a good situation with laws to follow, which has effectively promoted the development of meteorological cause.

  

  I. Legislation during the Eleventh Five-Year Plan period

  During the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" period, Henan Meteorological Bureau actively promoted local meteorological legislation, further improved the local meteorological laws and regulations system, and continuously improved the quality of legislation. On March 26th, 2009, the Eighth Meeting of the Standing Committee of the 11th People’s Congress of Henan Province deliberated and passed the Regulations on Meteorological Disaster Prevention in Henan Province, which came into effect on July 1st. The meteorological disaster prevention in Henan Province has entered a new stage from administrative management to legal management, and the regulations have been highly praised by the main leaders of China Meteorological Bureau. In December 2009, the provincial government revised and improved the Measures for the Issuance and Dissemination of Meteorological Disaster Early Warning Signals in Henan Province (Decree No.128 of the People’s Government of Henan Province), which further standardized the dissemination of meteorological disaster early warning information. In January 2012, Decree No.145 of the People’s Government of Henan Province promulgated and implemented the Measures for Environmental Protection of Meteorological Facilities and Meteorological Detection in Henan Province. In the past five years, the provincial government has successively issued Opinions on Accelerating the Development of Meteorological Undertakings (Yu Zheng [2006] No.61), Opinions on Strengthening the Prevention of Meteorological Disasters (Yu Zheng [2007] No.74), Opinions on Strengthening the Construction of Meteorological Service System for Agriculture (Yu Zheng Ban [2010] No.106), and Opinions on Printing and Distributing Henan Province.

  In addition, the Henan Provincial Bureau has also issued a series of supporting normative documents. Issued the Measures for the Administration of Subject Qualification of Meteorological Administrative Law Enforcement in Henan Province, the Measures for the Administration of Meteorological Administrative Law Enforcement Personnel in Henan Province, the Measures for the Evaluation of Meteorological Administrative Law Enforcement Files in Henan Province, the Measures for the Statistical Report of Meteorological Administrative Law Enforcement Filing in Henan Province, the Measures for the Guarantee of Meteorological Administrative Law Enforcement Funds in Henan Province, the Measures for the Evaluation and Assessment of Meteorological Administrative Law Enforcement in Henan Province, the Measures for the Investigation of Fault Responsibility of Meteorological Administrative Law Enforcement in Henan Province, and the Standards for Meteorological Administrative Law Enforcement in Henan Province. The detailed rules for the implementation of the release and dissemination of meteorological disaster warning signals in Henan Province, the measures for the release of meteorological disaster warning in Henan Province (for Trial Implementation), the measures for the record management of lightning protection engineering design and construction by enterprises outside Henan Province, the measures for the record management of lightning protection products in Henan Province and other normative documents, and passed the record review by the provincial government.

  

  Second, the main experience of legislation

  (1) Raising awareness is the prerequisite. Improving ideological understanding is an important prerequisite for doing a good job in local meteorological legislation. Although the promulgation and implementation of Meteorological Law provides a legal basis for the rapid and scientific development of China’s meteorological cause, it is a programmatic law to regulate the development of meteorological cause after all. Because the situation in different parts of the country is different, the development of meteorological cause is uneven and uncoordinated, and the priorities of the contents that need to be standardized are different, it is necessary to formulate a feasible legal system with local characteristics in combination with local conditions. Over the years, the People’s Congress of Henan Province, the provincial government and the Provincial Meteorological Bureau have attached great importance to local meteorological legislation, and fully realized that accelerating local meteorological legislation plays an important role in promoting the scientific development of meteorological administration and meteorological undertakings in our province, developing according to law, and fully fulfilling the functions of meteorological social management and public service.

  (2) Strengthening leadership is the key. Every time a local law or regulation is promulgated, from project declaration to legislative drafting, there are many things to be coordinated, and there are many research contents, procedures and long periods. All aspects need the leadership of the provincial bureau to organize and coordinate. The leaders of Henan Provincial Bureau attach great importance to the legislative work, and the main leaders and leaders in charge of the Provincial Bureau have repeatedly visited the provincial people’s congress and the provincial government to actively communicate and strive for it. After the legislative project is determined, the provincial bureau lists special funds to ensure the necessary expenditure. During the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" period, the Provincial Bureau listed a total of 300,000 yuan of special funds as legislative funds. The drafting of laws and regulations is an arduous task. The leaders of the provincial bureau timely coordinate the relevant functional offices, draw out high-quality talents who know the major, and form a strong drafting team to ensure sufficient time and concentrate on writing the draft. Every time the draft demonstration meeting, the main leaders and leaders in charge of the provincial bureau personally participated. For example, during the demonstration of the draft Measures for Environmental Protection of Meteorological Facilities and Meteorological Detection in Henan Province, the main leaders of the Provincial Bureau participated in the demonstration meeting twice.

  (3) Choosing the right project is the foundation. Henan is a big province of agriculture, population and tourism. It is not only a province rich in climate resources, but also a province with frequent meteorological disasters and serious meteorological disasters. In 2008, Henan suffered from freezing rain and snow, and in 2009, it suffered from drought in autumn, winter and spring. With the aim of serving the overall situation of Henan’s social and economic development and disaster prevention and reduction, Henan Meteorological Bureau took the initiative, conducted in-depth research and fully demonstrated, and timely strived for the Provincial People’s Congress and the provincial government to list the Regulations on the Prevention of Meteorological Disasters in Henan Province and the Measures for the Release and Dissemination of Early Warning Signals of Meteorological Disasters in Henan Province as legislative items.

  (D) Enhancing practicality is the goal. As the "basic law" to regulate the development of meteorological undertakings, the provisions of Meteorological Law are macro and general, which requires local legislation to be as detailed as possible, and to enhance practicality as the legislative purpose, so that local legislation has strong pertinence and operability. For example, although both the Meteorological Law and the Meteorological Regulations of Henan Province set up a chapter to regulate "meteorological disaster prevention", there are no provisions on meteorological disaster prevention plans, emergency plans and the formulation of defensive measures. Therefore, when formulating the Regulations on Meteorological Disaster Prevention in Henan Province, the first article clearly stipulates that the legislative purpose of the regulations on meteorological disaster prevention is to strengthen the prevention of meteorological disasters. In order to achieve this legislative purpose, the regulations always adhere to this legislative purpose in all chapters, striving to achieve detailed content, sound working mechanism, clear responsibilities of the government and relevant departments, and strong defensive measures. On the basis of the frequent occurrence of meteorological disasters such as drought and rainstorm in Henan, the legislation focuses on establishing and improving three mechanisms of prevention, early warning and disaster reduction, which enhances the pertinence and operability of the regulations.

  (5) Strengthening communication is an important link. In the process of reporting and drafting legislative projects, Henan Meteorological Bureau actively strengthened communication with the Legislative Affairs Office of the provincial people’s congress and the provincial government, asking for more instructions, reporting more and publicizing more, so that they fully understood the necessity and urgency of each piece of legislation. I have accompanied the relevant leaders of the provincial people’s congress and the provincial government and the specific responsible personnel of legislation to the brother provinces with advanced legislative work for investigation and investigation, and actively strive for their understanding and support. Every local legislative project involves the conflict between some important departments and sensitive issues. Therefore, our bureau analyzes the possible obstacles in the legislative process of each regulation in advance, and communicates with the departments that may raise objections in time to ensure the smooth passage of the draft for comment.

  (six) to play the role of functional departments is the guarantee. Local meteorological legislation is an overall work, involving all aspects of meteorological work, which cannot be completed by the policy and regulation departments alone. From the declaration of legislative items to the drafting and revision of texts, relevant functional departments need to support each other, coordinate with each other, cooperate with each other and complete together. Only by giving full play to the synergy of relevant functional departments and forming joint forces can we ensure the smooth progress of meteorological legislation and the high quality of legislative results. As the lead department of legislation, the Law Department will encounter various problems in its work, especially the time conflict with the daily work arrangement. While arranging all the work reasonably, the Law Department always takes the legislative work as the top priority, giving priority to the arrangement and deployment, so as to ensure the smooth and successful completion of the legislative work.

  

  Third, the "Twelfth Five-Year" legislative plan

  (1) Legislative thinking. Under the guidance of Scientific Outlook on Development, adhere to the general plan of governing the country according to law, adapt to the requirements of the construction of meteorological rule of law and the transformation of meteorological development mode, actively contact and communicate with the provincial people’s congress and the functional departments of the provincial government according to the legislative project plan of China Meteorological Bureau from 2011 to 2020, and reserve new local legislative projects. According to the requirements of "priority and urgency", determine the legislative projects, make them mature, introduce them and gradually put them in place. Attach great importance to the quality of legislation and enhance the pertinence and operability of the content. Try to speed up the legislative progress, improve the legislative system, and ensure and promote the sound and rapid development of meteorological undertakings in our province.

  (2) Project planning. Henan is a province with large climate resources and severe meteorological disasters. During the Twelfth Five-Year Plan period, we should actively strive for and do a good job in the legislation of local laws and regulations such as Regulations on the Development, Utilization and Protection of Climate Resources in Henan Province, Regulations on the Management of Meteorological Services in Henan Province and Regulations on the Prevention of Lightning Disasters in Henan Province. The Regulations on the Development, Utilization and Protection of Climate Resources in Henan Province mainly regulates the development, utilization and protection of climate resources in our province, broadens the utilization field of climate resources, improves the utilization rate of climate resources, enhances the awareness of climate resources of the whole people, promotes the protection of climate resources, prevents the destruction of climate resources by human activities, and realizes the coordinated development of climate resources, society and economy; The Regulations on Meteorological Services in Henan Province is mainly to further strengthen, standardize and develop meteorological services, accurately locate the nature of different types of meteorological services, straighten out various social relations formed in meteorological services, continuously improve the efficiency of meteorological services, and provide accurate, timely, high-quality and efficient meteorological services for economic and social development; The Regulations on Lightning Disaster Prevention in Henan Province aims at strengthening lightning protection management, avoiding and mitigating lightning disasters, safeguarding people’s lives and property safety and promoting sustainable economic and social development.

  Strive to issue government regulations such as "Henan Province Climate Feasibility Demonstration Measures" and "Henan Province Lightning Disaster Risk Assessment Measures" as soon as possible. As soon as possible, the Provincial Bureau has formulated normative documents such as Measures for the Management of Lightning Disaster Risk Assessment Qualification in Henan Province, Measures for the Management of Lightning Protection Products Filing in Henan Province (Revised), Measures for the Management of Lightning Protection Device Detection and Measures for the Management of Meteorological Data in Henan Province.

  

  Iv. legislative suggestions

  (1) Improve the legislative level. After more than ten years of practice, China’s meteorological legislation system has basically taken shape, which has played an active role in safeguarding and promoting the development of meteorological undertakings. However, there is still a certain gap with the requirements of economic and social development, meteorological disaster prevention and mitigation, and response to climate change for meteorological legislation. The existing meteorological laws and regulations are not high enough, mostly below administrative regulations, and the legal authority is not enough. It is suggested that administrative regulations should be upgraded to laws and the legislative level should be improved.

  (2) Strengthening legislation on public meteorological services. Public meteorological service is an important part of building a service-oriented department. With the continuous strengthening of public service functions and the promotion of equalization of basic public services in urban and rural areas, the demand of urban and rural people for diversified and high-quality meteorological services is increasingly urgent, and it is required to continuously improve the public service system and actively innovate public service methods to provide more and better public services for the public. In order to standardize management and ensure the orderly development of public meteorological services according to law, it is suggested to further strengthen the legislation on public meteorological services.

Wonderful moment

Excerpts from interviews

Rough study will eventually lead to angels in white’s dream

Lin Dong (hereinafter referred to as "Dong"):Where are you from? What was life like as a child?

Ling Xiuzhen (hereinafter referred to as "Ling"): I was born in a poor peasant family in Zengjiazhuang, Anxin County, Hebei Province on November 15th, 1923. Farming is the main task at home, because near Baiyangdian, my father sometimes cooks fish and my mother spins and weaves, thus making a living. When I was a child, I went to primary school in the village for a few days, but later I stopped going because of difficulties at home.

When I was about 11 years old, an American missionary of Baoding Presbyterian Church was also the head nurse of Silo Hospital in Xiguan Presbyterian Church in Baoding. Her name was Kai Aide. She came to our village with several people to preach and treat the villagers. At that time, I had a serious trachoma, and they treated me patiently, and it didn’t take long for me to be cured. They also taught me to read and sing. Kai Aide saw that I was smart, and he heard that my aunt was studying at Xiguan Presbyterian Church School in Baoding, so he discussed with my family and wanted to take me to Baoding to study with my aunt, which was funded by the church. Considering that there are many children at home and life is difficult, my parents agreed.

▲ Ling Xiuzhen in primary school

In 1935, I left home and went to Baoding to go to my aunt. I started primary school in Baoding Xiguan Gospel Girls’ School and graduated from high school in September 1938. After graduation, there was no funding from the church. A primary school teacher introduced me to Tongxian Fuyu Girls’ Middle School [1] for junior high school. This is a work-study school founded by the Christian Congregation, which takes care of the poor, and my conditions are just right.

Dong:How did you continue your studies without church support? Did you ask your family for help?

Ling: Shortly after I left home, the Japanese army invaded Baoding [2]. Anxin County was an anti-Japanese guerrilla zone. Under the war, I was cut off from my family. It was not until Beiping was peacefully liberated in 1949 that I got in touch with my family again.

I haven’t seen Kai Aide since I left Baoding to attend junior high school in Tongxian County. Later, I heard that she has returned to the United States. Fuyu Girls’ Middle School is also a missionary school. After studying, students make cross-flowers by hand and process them into tablecloths and pillow towels. The principal sells the finished products, and the money sold is used to help us poor students. I didn’t have a place to go during the summer vacation, so I stayed at school to continue to do handicrafts and earn some money. My life depended on this until I graduated from middle school in 1941.

▲ In June, 1941, Class 1941 of Fuyu Girls’ Middle School sent a group photo of Baoding’s graduating fellow villagers, and Ling Xiuzhen was the third from the left in the front row.

Dong:Is it your ideal to be a nurse?

Ling: I have long liked nurses. When I was a child, I got trachoma, and the nurse in the mission hospital cured me for free. I am particularly grateful. It would be great to cure the disease in the countryside without spending money. I also want to have the ability to help people treat diseases. When I was in primary school, there was a missionary hospital next to the school. I often saw nurses dressed in white clothes, like angels, and I thought they were beautiful and envied their lives. Since then, I have liked the profession of nurses.

When I graduated from junior high school, the Senior Nurse School of Boji Hospital in Dexian County, Shandong Province [3] came to recruit students. Considering that I have no financial resources and can’t get in touch with my family, I can study as a nurse for the time being without spending money. I also like this profession, so I signed up with my good friend Zhang Shumin [4], and her situation is similar to mine. This nursing school is also a missionary school. The principal is a foreigner, and tuition and meals are free. In order to save money for the trip to Shandong, after graduating from junior high school, Zhang Shumin and I continued to do manual work of picking flowers at school for two months.

In September 1941, we arrived in Shandong. However, I only attended classes for more than two months. In December, the Pacific War broke out. Because the hospitals and nursing schools were in the charge of Americans, Japanese soldiers came soon and announced the closure of hospitals and the dissolution of nursing schools.

Dong:Where did you go after the school was dissolved?

Ling: The nursing school with food and shelter was dissolved, and Zhang Shumin and I had no place to live. We had a primary school teacher named Liu Lanfang, who was working in Tianjin Enguang Hospital, so we went to Tianjin to find a teacher. A friend of the teacher is an old lady, and her lover works as a personnel worker in Beiyang Spinning Factory, Haihe Road, Tianjin, so she introduced us to the factory as female workers.

In the spinning mill, we work 12 hours a day, starting at six in the morning and leaving at six in the evening. Every day, we often don’t see the sun at the end of the day. The factory also stipulates that workers can’t go through the main entrance after work, but only through the small door at the back. They have to be searched from head to toe when leaving the factory, which is greatly insulted. Therefore, Zhang Shumin and I rarely leave the factory, only occasionally go out to see the teacher.

We have worked in Beiyang spinning mill for 20 months, and the monthly salary is only enough to buy a bag of flour. At that time, I mainly wanted to find a place to live. I could earn some money to support myself by working, and I could also save some money, so that I could continue to study in a nursing school later.

Dong:What kind of opportunity did you have to return to school later?

Ling: In August, 1943, the opportunity came to continue studying nursing school. Teacher Liu told us that the nursing school of Shanxi Taigu Renshu Hospital [5] is recruiting students, and there are our classmates there. Hearing this news, we were so happy that we contacted our classmates as soon as possible. Zhang Shumin and I scrimped and saved a little money, but it was easy to lose money in those days [6], so we bought some flower cloth to take with us, and then we wanted to exchange it for money, so we left the spinning mill and went to Shanxi.

Dong:How do you feel about going back to the nursing school again? What is study and life like?

Ling: I left the spinning mill in darkness and went back to the nursing school that I had been looking forward to day and night. I was in a very happy mood and made up my mind to study hard and become a nurse. The study content of nursing school is similar to that of now, including culture class, operation class, anatomy, pharmacology and so on. After the theoretical class, there will be clinical practice in Renshu Hospital. At that time, I got good grades in my homework and nursing skills, and I won a scholarship. Although I only had a few dollars, I felt great. But I didn’t expect that in December 1944, the Japanese army invaded the hospital and the nursing school was closed.

Dong:Forced to leave school again, where did you go?

Ling: After the school closed, many students went home, and my life with Zhang Shumin was lost. I feel very sad because my nursing studies have not been completed. At that time, three sisters Liu Jialan, Liu Jiahui and Liu Jiaqi who had worked with us in Beiyang Spinning Factory also left Tianjin to work in Yangquan. Hearing that we had nowhere to go, they took us to Yangquan. After arriving in Yangquan, I didn’t dare to go out at all. The streets were full of Japanese soldiers and I stayed at home all day. Later, with the help of Wang Jingguo, the husband of my middle school classmate Rong Fenglan, Zhang Shumin and I found a job temporarily. I was introduced to the business office of Yangquan Electric Company to copy the user’s electricity meter and electricity bill.

In 1946, on the second day of the first lunar month, Taigu Renshu Hospital resumed nursing school. After getting the news, Zhang Shumin and I hurried back to Taigu to continue our education until we graduated in January 1948. My nursing school can be regarded as finished, which adds up to nearly four years.

Dong:Looking back on this tortuous life and school experience, what do you think?

Ling: This experience has a great influence on me. People’s life is not easy. If you want to live, you have to struggle, and you have to do everything well, otherwise you may not have the opportunity to continue doing this job. If I work in a cotton mill, if I don’t work by the hour, people won’t want you. So is learning to be a nurse. If you don’t study hard, people won’t want you. Especially in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression’s time, it was not easy, so we had to struggle on our own and be a good person. Of course, I also relied on the help of teachers and classmates in this period. They introduced me to work, and I worked hard to earn some money to finish the nursing school, otherwise it wouldn’t work.

Toss and turn to the west and the east to determine the concord.

Dong:What’s your first job after graduation? Did you get your dream of being a nurse?

Ling: When I graduated, there was a Seventh Epidemic Prevention Brigade in Taiyuan. Several nurses in the team graduated from our school, so they introduced us to the past. Their main job was to get vaccination.

Six months later, the captain’s secretary was going back to Beijing. Several people in our team discussed with him and wanted to come together. He agreed. Taking this opportunity, I was also brought to Beijing. I came by plane. It was my first time to fly. A classmate’s brother worked at the airport and helped to buy a plane ticket, so friends helped me everywhere.

After arriving in Beijing, through the introduction of Wang Dimin, the former captain of the epidemic prevention brigade, our lesbians were arranged to help in Dongsi Qianliang Hutong Maternal and Infant Health Center and work as nurses. After working for about a month, my colleague Lu Yueying introduced me to the children’s hospital at the south exit of Fuyou Street, where I worked as a night nurse for another month.

Dong:How did you come to work in Peking Union Medical College Hospital?

Ling: In November 1948, a colleague from Taiyuan, Beijing, called me back to the newly established Eleventh Epidemic Prevention Brigade in Qianliang Hutong, which organized doctors and nurses to go to the countryside for epidemic prevention. I still want to be a nurse in the hospital, so I’m going to find another place to work. I discussed with Zhang Shumin and other friends, and they all advised me to come to Concord. I was worried that I was from a nursing school in a small hospital, and I was afraid that I could not keep up with my work, but they encouraged me to try. Zhang Shumin asked for a nurse registration form for me, so I got up the courage and came to Concord with my diploma in nursing school in Renshu Hospital.

I went in from the west gate of the hospital, walked to the nursing department office downstairs in Building 5 of the old building, and found Nie Yuchan, the director of the nursing department. She was the first person I met in Concord. I handed her my diploma. She asked me about my previous work and whether I had ever been to Concord. After chatting for a while, she said, "OK, come for a physical examination on the 13th, and go to work if there is nothing wrong with the physical examination." She is very capable and kind, and she is very organized and decisive.

This is the result I am looking forward to, and I am very happy in my heart. One is that I have a fixed job, and the other is that I have finally stabilized. On December 13, 1948, I officially entered Concord, and I have been a Concord person since then. Until I left Concord in the Spring Festival of 1990, I spent most of my life in Concord, so my feelings for Concord are closer than home.

Dong:What impressed you when you first entered the Union Medical College Hospital? What are the differences between nursing work and before?

Ling: After I arrived at Concord, the first thing I felt was the grandeur of the building, which was my first impression. The equipment and facilities are good in all aspects, so it is very convenient to work. Like Shanxi Taigu Renshu Hospital, the conditions are worse, and many of them are simple because of their ignorance.

The other is that the attitude towards patients is really good. After work, I was assigned to the outpatient clinic, which is located on the first floor of Building No.10 in the current old building, mainly to accompany patients to see doctors. I especially remember that a mother came to see a doctor with a child of six or seven years old. The child had a sore on her leg and cried and was afraid to see the doctor. Wu Weiran [8], a doctor who makes house calls, has a particularly good attitude, speaks gently and has skills. When the child chats with him, he stops crying. Dr. Wu Weiran puts the child in his arms and sees the disease. The nurse next to him also said, "Little friend, I’ll get it for you. It doesn’t hurt." When the doctor said this and the nurse was so coaxed, the child stopped crying and went with the nurse to change the medicine. I went behind my mother and followed the nurse. Look how much this has changed. I watched, thinking how good this doctor is, how good this nurse is, and patients don’t suffer. This is my education, so I also learn from them in my later work and never yell at patients.

▲ Ling Xiuzhen (right) and colleagues took a group photo at the platform of the old building of Peking Union Medical College Hospital.

Later, I was transferred from the outpatient department to the obstetrics and gynecology department, and after a period of time, I went to the internal medicine department. At that time, the internal medicine ward was on the second floor of Building 8 of the old building, and the head nurse was Li Yixiu, who graduated from Concord Nursing School. She is very strict and has given me a lot of education. For example, I can’t talk loudly in the ward, I can’t wear hard-soled shoes, and I can’t eat delicious food such as garlic and onions during work. In addition, when you go to work, you should patrol the patient’s bed more, and you can’t get together and chat in the office. She is also very strict in checking. When she sees what you did wrong, she points it out at once, and then checks it after you finish. I don’t know when she will stand behind you and look at you at work. She often gives lectures at morning meetings and encourages us to talk to patients more. I learned a lot of nursing knowledge from her. I think nurses should be like this, serious and solemn, but also cute and gentle.

After coming out of the internal medicine ward, I went to work in the foreign guest ward for a while. In 1951, the hospital wanted to set up a separate neuropsychiatric department, so I was transferred to the neuropsychiatric ward.

Dong:What are the characteristics of the work in the neuropsychiatric ward?

Ling: In order to prevent mental patients from jumping off buildings, the neuropsychiatric ward is located in Building 8 of the old building, with more than 20 beds. The ward is divided into a big room and a small room, and there is a place like a living room in the middle, where patients can do manual work and have work and entertainment treatment. Guo Jufen, the head nurse, also graduated from Xiehe Nursing School, and her working methods and attitude also made me very educated. Different from the patients in the internal medicine ward, the owners of neuropsychiatric diseases are mainly schizophrenic patients, some of whom are completely unconscious, others are clear and sometimes unconscious. In addition to medical and nursing work, we should also prevent them from committing suicide and hurting others. At that time, there were two or three male nurses in the ward, and each staff member had a key. The door should be kept locked, otherwise the patient would run out. Once, a patient ran out and shouted, "I ran, I ran!" " As a result, he was stopped by the doorman and called us quickly.

▲ Ling Xiuzhen (third from left) took a group photo with her colleagues in neuropsychiatric department. On the left, Wang Jichu, on the left, Guo Jufen and on the right, Hou Can.

Later, the neuropsychiatry was changed to neurology, and the ward was moved to the first floor of Building No.8 in the old building, and the number of beds was increased to more than 40. No mental patients were treated, only patients with basically clear consciousness and neuroorganic diseases were treated, among whom there were many comas and urinary incontinence. The patient’s situation is different, and the focus of nursing work is different. The nursing workload of neurology department is very heavy. Take the urine pad replacement of patients with urinary incontinence as an example. Half of the urine pads in the hospital are used in neurology wards, which shows that the number of changes is frequent and many people use them.

To resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea and care for the loveliest people.

Dong:Please talk about your experience in participating in the volunteer surgery team to resist US aggression and aid Korea.

Ling: At the end of 1950, Beijing set up a voluntary surgical team to resist US aggression and aid Korea, and called on all hospitals to actively register. I thought it was a glorious thing, so I signed up. After being approved by the hospital, in April 1952, I followed the surgical team to the 13th Army Hospital in Xingcheng, Liaoning Province, which was the rear battlefield of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and all the wounded soldiers who came back from the front were treated there.

After I went, I worked as a head nurse in the supply room. At that time, there were many surgical operations. The supply room in their hospital was quite large, and there were several little nurses there. We exchanged experiences. I introduced the situation of Concord to them, and everyone cooperated happily. Although I have never worked in the supply room before, the general nurses know which surgical instruments should be packaged, which should be steamed and how long it should be disinfected. In fact, it is material management. I combined the specific situation at that time and discussed the process with them to make the work more convenient.

After the work was carried out in an orderly manner, I made time to go to the ward. I saw that the soldiers had only one eye, some had missing arms, some had broken legs, some had missing ears, and some had only half their faces … I was particularly unhappy. I will try my best to help them, such as writing letters, reading newspapers and telling stories. But I think it’s more important that they told me how they killed the enemy at the front and how they got their injuries. They were all heroic and selfless acts, which taught me a lot. I think they are really lovely and respectable.

In this way, I ran to the ward as soon as I was free, and I gradually became familiar with the soldiers. Sometimes when I was late or didn’t go all day, they asked me, "Why are you late today?" "Why didn’t you come yesterday?" Everyone has a lot of affection for each other. Some soldiers gave me photos as souvenirs when they left the hospital, and some said to me, "Head nurse, I’m leaving. I don’t know when I can meet again!" They need psychological comfort and help, but while helping them, I am more educated.

▲ In 1952, Ling Xiuzhen (left) took a group photo with his colleagues in the surgical team at the 13th Army Hospital.

Dong:How long have you worked there?

Ling: The operation team rotates every four months. Originally, it was stipulated that everyone only participated in one phase. After I finished my first phase as head nurse, the organization arranged for me to stay and continue to work as the secretary of the operation team. At that time, the team leader was Zhang Jinzhe [9]. So I returned to Concord in early 1953 and worked there for less than a year.

There was tension and happiness in that life. The soldiers in the ward and our diet were good. After dinner, everyone gave back a big apple and put it on the bed, which meant peace. Xingcheng is near the sea. Every Sunday, the team members can go to the sea together. I also use my spare time to organize employees of the 13th Army Hospital to play basketball with the surgical team.

Dong:What impact does this work experience have on you?

Ling: I haven’t done much work in recent months. If I have time, I can do more. The deeds of the volunteers should be publicized. They fought bravely at the front line, paying for us and bleeding for us. What should we do? We should at least help. After I come back, I often think of those soldiers, especially those who meet soldiers at work. I will be very kind to them. Before I went to work in Concord, I tried my best to live. After I joined the volunteer operation team to resist US aggression and aid Korea, I wanted to not only live, but also know why I lived. This experience is really a great education for me, and I didn’t go in vain.

Everyone is in charge and manages the ward together

Dong:After you came back from the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, you worked as a head nurse in a neurological ward for more than 30 years. What did you learn from being a head nurse?

Ling: The management of the ward mainly depends on the head nurse. The nurses have done the specific operation. The head nurse should worry more about the management. If there is something to discuss, let’s unite as a fist and move forward. It’s very important for the head nurse to take the lead. If you just say no, you have to do it, and you have to be sincere. If you are sincere, you will keep your word, and comrades will see it.

After working for decades, I have never had a knot in my heart with anyone, but I am very honest with them, so that everyone is happy and the work is done well. At present, our comrades on the eighth floor still often get together and miss their work. This friendship was formed by helping each other and uniting with each other at work. So I think it’s easy and not easy to be a head nurse.

▲ Ling Xiuzhen works in the ward.

Dong:Do you have any innovative practices in nursing work?

Ling: Shame, there is no innovation in my life, just trying to do a good job in ordinary work.

After the downfall of the Gang of Four, the hospital called for rectifying wards, strengthening clinical nursing and improving the quality of medical care. How to do it? I discussed it with my comrades, and everyone came up with ideas. Some old comrades suggested that we should restore the effective system in the past. We classify the work of the ward, so that "everyone is in charge of everything, and everyone is in charge", and everyone is the master of the house.

Rectifying the ward begins with the companion system. At that time, there were 43 beds, 23 accompanying family members, plus doctors and nurses, and dozens of people were going back and forth in the ward. It was really chaotic. Some people said that our ward was a small Dongan market, so we must reduce our companionship. There was a patient who was completely paralyzed, but he was conscious and weighed more than 200 kilograms. More than one person at home took care of him, and two nurses in the ward struggled to turn him over. Hearing that the ward asked the family members not to accompany the bed, the patient immediately began to cry, and the family members were also uncomfortable. We patiently explained to him, and the comrades also took good care of him. Three days later, the patient said, "Head nurse, I don’t need my family to accompany me. You are doing better than them!" We have completed the task of the hospital, and the patients feel quite good, which is the result of our joint efforts.

To prevent patients from falling out of bed, one of our nurse comrades, Lao Sun, thought that patients fell because there were no fences on both sides of the bed, so it might be useful to weave nets. I brought him a thick rope, and he made a net and put it on both sides of the bed, so that the patient was safe. When a nurse visited, she found a patient in a net bag, so she quickly got him up. So for so many years, we have never had a patient fall.

Ward clothing management is also a difficult problem, because there are many serious patients and frequent changes, we will arrange special personnel to take charge of it, set a number of rules, and strengthen the inventory when handing over to the laundry room to ensure that the number is correct and will not affect everyone’s use.

One of the ways to improve the quality of medical care is to strengthen morning and evening care. Because there are many patients in the neurology department who are bedridden and have urinary incontinence, they are prone to bedsores, so we give them a "small bath" in the morning and evening, so that the patients are clean and comfortable, and we can also carefully observe and detect the changes in the patient’s condition in time. When the shift is over at the bedside, patients with slight early signs of bedsore will be marked at the bedside, so no patients here have ever had bedsore.

Besides clinical nursing, other auxiliary things should also be done well. We also rectify the ward environment, standardize the management of goods, make everything in its place, clean the environment and so on. When the hospital summarizes the work of rectifying the ward, I will be assigned to make a report to the whole hospital to introduce our experience on the eighth floor.

78421683761018727

▲ Ling Xiuzhen gave a report on ward management experience to the whole hospital in Concord Auditorium.

Dong:"Everyone is in charge of everything, and everyone is in charge of something" is a particularly good idea, which is why the neurological ward has been rated as an advanced group for many years, right?

Ling: Work depends on everyone’s efforts to do it together, so everyone is happy to have achievements. Although things in the ward are trivial, everyone has the idea of being the master of their own affairs, and it is easy to manage them well if they are serious and responsible. We often check the established rules and measures. For example, at the morning meeting, everyone has a piece of paper and a pen, so I ask, where is the laundry bag? Where is the treatment tray? What should be in the first aid tray? Like an exam. In addition, there are good people and deeds that I also focus on promoting at the morning meeting. Mobilizing the masses and doing things is also training the masses, which is one of my gains. Our ward has produced five head nurses.

We emphasize not to get together in the office, encourage all nurses in the ward to patrol and observe the patient’s condition, and also find many patients’ condition changes in the process. A nurse found that a patient had a bad complexion, poor breathing, rapid pulse and unequal pupils during her patrol, and she was particularly anxious. She quickly said to her colleagues passing by, "You should prepare 20% mannitol as soon as possible and pull the rescue vehicle, and I will tell the doctor!" When the doctor came, the rescue vehicle was in place, and the infusion was given immediately, and the patient’s pupil slowly recovered. Later, neurosurgery consultation was invited, and after the operation, the patient recovered and was discharged. Without solid professional knowledge, the patient could not be found and rescued in time.

In addition to improving nurses’ knowledge of diseases in clinical practice, we also organize training, such as asking senior nurses to tell young or unfamiliar nurses about some nursing technical operations; Some professional knowledge, we ask a specialist doctor to talk about it, and everyone has improved through learning. The medical staff in the first ward on the eighth floor are very United and the working atmosphere is harmonious, so everyone is not bitter or tired when working.

Dong:Are there any patients who impressed you particularly during your work in the neurology ward?

Ling: There was a 21-year-old boy, Xiaoliang, who I remember very clearly. He was a patient with Guillain-Barre syndrome, with quadriplegia, respiratory muscle paralysis and lobar pneumonia. He went to the ward for immediate rescue and entered the iron lung [10]. He can’t breathe by himself, and he relies entirely on iron lungs to press him to breathe, and he sucks oxygen. Despite the shortage of manpower, we took out three classes of people to do intensive care, sucked sputum for him under protection and isolation, and observed the amount and color of sputum. His body can’t move, so we scrub and move his limbs. He can’t speak, but he is conscious and has an expression on his face, so we will write and communicate with him. Write "Your leg hurts, doesn’t it?" Show him. As soon as he closes his eyes, we will know that he is right. Once, I wrote several wrong words, but I accidentally touched his nose. He smiled, so we wrote "Is it a nose?" He closed his eyes and it turned out that his nose was itchy.

He can’t leave oxygen for a moment. Once, Comrade Lao Sun knew that the oxygen in the hospital was running out. On his way to work, he ran back to tell the comrades in the ward: "Our hospital’s oxygen truck is back, so you should change it quickly!" On another occasion, the iron lung could not support Xiaoliang’s breathing, and the Haiyan ventilator needed to be replaced. The Union Medical College Hospital didn’t have it, so it was necessary to borrow it from the 301 hospital. Comrade Lao Wang forgot to eat and immediately borrowed the machine. However, it takes several hours to borrow the machine. During this period, Xiaoliang’s breathing is not stable. We quickly made a careful nursing plan. Before the ventilator was borrowed, we organized nurses to maintain his breathing with artificial balloons without interruption, in order to gain valuable time for treatment. You see, everyone is working hard for a patient. How lovely these actions are.

Xiaoliang was treated in neurology for 318 days, including 4 months and 22 days of intensive care, 71 days of artificial respirator, more than 200 barrels of oxygen and more than 120 infusions. With the joint efforts of many departments, through the treatment of integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine and the close cooperation of medical care, Xiaoliang finally recovered and was discharged. Everyone was overjoyed to see the patient cured and discharged from hospital.

Dong:Do you regard the ward as another home?

Ling: It’s not another home. I wish it were a main home. I think the work in the ward is the main thing, and a lot of work is also taken home. When children are young, they don’t have time to take them to the park to play. As for my half, he is also quite supportive, because he works in the Chinese History Museum and has time to go to and from work, which is not necessarily the case here. What’s more, the neighbors are also good. They help look after the children, so they also worry.

My family told me that you have no home. I said, isn’t my ward home? Ha ha. This ward is a home. It’s a pleasure to do it well. The patient is grateful to you and the doctor is happy. I didn’t do enough work all my life. After retiring in 1986, Corey kept me, and I was willing to stay in the clinic for another four years.

On-duty clinic to help patients with heart

Dong:What are the differences in nursing work from ward to clinic?

Ling: The job content is really different. Although they are all neurological diseases, the patients in the ward usually lie still there, while the patients in the outpatient department are mobile. They leave as soon as they come today, which is different in nature and different in work focus. When I was in the outpatient department, I also stressed the need to observe patients more.

For example, I once met an old lady holding a boy and sitting in a chair in the waiting room crying without talking. I asked her why she was crying, and she said that they were from other places, and the doctor didn’t prescribe medicine for the child, so she called them back for treatment. The local hospital diagnosed encephalitis sequela, and there are not many treatments in neurology. We advised her not to feel bad, and found an old doctor to see her. It was also this diagnosis that gave the child some nutritional medicine, and the old lady went back with confidence. If we hadn’t observed and found the old lady’s problem, it wouldn’t have been solved. How uncomfortable she was with her child in her arms, and so was her family when she went back to her home. Everyone who gave them that piece said that they were not satisfied with the Union Medical College Hospital. If this is solved, she will be calm and there will be no problem.

Another time, I saw a gay man yelling there, and the little girl next to him was crying, so I went over and asked what was going on. The gay man said that the doctor would give the child an EEG examination, but the child had lice on his head and had to get a haircut first. The girl was seven or eight years old. She wore two pigtails and didn’t want to get a haircut. As soon as she said it, she began to cry. I took them to Dongdan to find a barber shop and asked them to give the girl a haircut with a curtain. The girl looked in the mirror and was very happy. When she came back, she had her EEG done. They are Mongolians, and they don’t speak Mandarin very well. They keep saying thank you to us. Outpatient service is basically this kind of thing, that is, more care and observation are needed to help patients solve problems in time.

It seems quite simple to work in the outpatient department, but sometimes there are many problems, involving many aspects, such as patients from other places, ethnic minorities, farmers, overseas Chinese, etc. We should all think about what the party’s policies are for different groups and implement them.

Dong:I heard that you also carry out health education for patients, mainly through what forms? What effect has it achieved?

Ling: We also think it is very important to educate patients. At that time, it was mainly through oral preaching, blackboard newspaper, small cards and other forms. In addition to disease knowledge, there are also common sense science such as preventing gas poisoning. Some patients read it and said, I have to go back and clean up the stove at home.

Besides listening and watching, there are also thoughts. We guide patients to think carefully about when they got sick, whether they saw a doctor, what treatments they had, what the treatment effect was, and what the situation is now … So when they see the doctor, they will be comprehensive and the doctor can better understand the condition.

We do this propaganda, everyone is quiet, and the order of seeing a doctor is better. Later, the hospital encouraged us and awarded us a tape recorder, so we recorded well and told stories related to people’s health and life, which everyone loved to hear.

Dong:You have done a lot for patients. Have any patients done anything that moved you?

Ling: A female middle school teacher from Taipusi Banner, Inner Mongolia came to see a doctor and did many tests, but the results haven’t come out yet. She told us that she couldn’t wait any longer because the school was about to start and she couldn’t delay the students’ class. I say you go first, and we’ll concentrate these test results on the doctor and write a diagnosis for you after reading them. Later, I sent her the examination and diagnosis results, which solved her problem. She was so moved that she wrote a thank-you letter and sent a big bag of soybeans. We have "three disciplines and eight points for attention" [11], and we don’t take the needle and thread from the masses, so we sent the soybeans back to her.

Some brought us potatoes and wrote letters of commendation, and some suggested that we print out popular science materials and sell them to everyone as a bonus for nurses … People still have to get along with each other in good faith. From the interests of patients, you did the right thing, and everyone will support you. On this correct basis, we will unite and work together, and gradually it will get better and better.

Be indifferent to fame and fortune and walk with love

Dong:How is your life arranged after retirement?

Ling: My life is quite dull. I went abroad to stay with my daughter for two years after retirement. When I came back, I thought it was not a problem to just stay here, so I ordered a lot of newspapers and magazines. Some articles were quite good, so I cut them out and pasted them into a book. I sorted out ten boxes of state affairs, heroes, health knowledge, flowers and birds, Chinese paintings … I wanted to wait for the children to come back and show them how many great events have taken place in the country. This is an education for them, and this is the most content of my life. In addition, I also learn health knowledge from the Internet. I insist on walking for 30 minutes every day in the corridor outside the door. It was very difficult at first, but it became natural after a long time. I haven’t thought about how to live a long life, and I don’t think I’m old now. I don’t feel that way.

Dong:What do you think of the profession of nurse, from the dream of being a nurse to the life of nursing?

Ling: I chose this profession and still love it. Nurses are an indispensable and important part of medical treatment. I don’t have much knowledge and technology, and that’s all I can do, so I’ll do it well and contribute my strength to this. I’m glad to help others a little.

Dong:During the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, you won the third-class merit. In 1981, you were named as a model worker in Beijing, and in 1983, you won the national March 8th Red Flag Bearer, and you were the first national March 8th Red Flag Bearer in Peking Union Medical College Hospital. After several decades, what do you think of these awards?

Ling: I don’t think it’s anything. I don’t think all these praises seem like a thing. When the prize is awarded, this meaning will pass.

Dong:What is the most fulfilling thing for you?

Ling: I didn’t achieve anything, but I worked hard to unite my comrades in my work and accomplish the tasks assigned by the party together. In response to the hospital’s call to clean up the ward, after half a year’s work, I was able to report to the whole hospital as a typical example. Although it was a small achievement, it was the result of the joint efforts of comrades, who forged a deep friendship in the process. Up to now, they still miss me. I think this is an achievement. I hope I can pass on the story of the eighth floor and inspire young people to do a good job.

Dong:What messages and instructions do you have for young people?

Ling: For young comrades, I hope that one should listen to the Party’s words, and the other should be strict with oneself, work hard and strictly abide by various rules and regulations. Without rules, Fiona Fang cannot be established. At the same time, we should innovate, strive to be a nurse who has both ability and political integrity and serves patients wholeheartedly, be the vanguard of the nursing field in China, and win glory in the world.

Concord has trained many medical and nursing talents. Concord’s work is very rigorous and strives for perfection, and it has treated countless difficult and serious patients, which is a great contribution. I hope that in the future, we will continue to protect people’s health, walk with love and create greater glories.
