In North China, winter wheat begins to green up, though the soil still undergoes freeze-thaw cycles. Timely harrowing is crucial to minimize water evaporation. Along the Yangtze River and in the Jiangnan region, wheat has entered the jointing stage, and rapeseed is beginning to flower. Both crops demand ample water and nutrients; timely topdressing is essential, with irrigation required in dry, low-rainfall areas. In the south, rainfall generally suffices for spring growth of vegetables, wheat, and green manure crops, though preventing waterlogging remains paramount.In South China, early rice sowing should proceed urgently while ensuring seedling beds are protected from cold. As temperatures rise, tea plants gradually begin budding. Pruning should be conducted, followed by timely application of "bud-promoting fertilizer" to encourage branching and leaf growth, thereby boosting tea yields. Fruit trees such as peaches, pears, and apples require proper pre-flowering fertilization.
"Spring thunder startles a hundred insects"—warm conditions favor the emergence and spread of various pests and diseases, while weeds also sprout in fields. Timely pest control and cultivation for weed removal are essential. "When peach blossoms bloom, swine fever arrives"—prevention of diseases in poultry and livestock also warrants attention.
