Photo taken on January 5 shows that, in response to the growth characteristics of late-sown wheat, agricultural authorities in Chiping District, Liaocheng City, Shandong Province, organize technicians to visit farmlands. Based on local seedling growth and soil moisture conditions, the technicians have been promoting the use of mulching film technology to farmers in recent times. By covering fields with film to increase temperature and retain moisture, the technique helps wheat seedlings grow steadily during the overwintering period, encourages tillering, and strengthens weaker sprouts, thereby laying a solid foundation for a bumper wheat harvest next year.
