The high temperatures and clear weather in the Hexi Corridor in Gansu Province over the past few days have had an adverse effect on crop irrigation. Zhangye City grows more than 1.6 million mu of corn, of which about 1.1 million mu are grown. A general station reporter saw at a corn planting site in Ganzhou District that crops are not growing well due to many factors such as high temperatures, lack of rain, and lack of water. In some fields, corn bracts dried up in the late stages of grouting, and the number of grains was lower than in previous years. According to the Gansu Meteorological Administration on August 11, since mid-July, temperatures have been high and precipitation has been high in most parts of Gansu Province, but the spatial distribution is uneven. It is estimated that in the next 30 days, the Hexi Mountain Drylands and most of Baiyin City are at risk of mild drought. In order to guarantee crop growth, the agricultural department of Zhangye City has taken measures to deal with the drought. The city selected more than 60 municipal professional and technical personnel to form 6 drought-fighting science and technology teams to go deep into the fields in county and district units to carry out technical guidance services such as drought relief management and field moisture conservation to mitigate the effects of the drought and reduce agricultural losses.
