The Bureau of Agriculture provides cold protection measures for agriculture, fishery and livestock.

For custard apple, jujube, papaya, etc., those who have already harvested should speed up harvesting, and strengthen cold protection facilities such as fruit bagging or whole plant covering and topsoil covering.

Leafy vegetables that are less cold-resistant can be harvested immediately. If they are not harvested, windbreak walls, windshields, and plastic sheets can be installed.

In addition to strengthening cold-proof facilities such as plastic sheds and greenhouses, flowers can be irrigated by furrows or directly covered with plastic sheets to achieve heat preservation and cold-proof effects, and potassium fertilizers can be added as appropriate to increase cold resistance.

In terms of animal husbandry, strengthen the heat preservation and management of young livestock and poultry, set up wind-shielding facilities, pay attention to the temperature and humidity of livestock and poultry houses at all times, maintain a ventilated environment and prevent cold wind from invading.

In terms of aquaculture and fishery: fishermen who are overwintering fish farms build a windproof shed on the north side of the fish farm, and the angle between the shed cover and the water surface should be less than 30 degrees, and strengthen the insulation, cold protection and heating equipment of the overwintering ditch; when the cold current hits, try to avoid alarms Behavior of fish schools in the fish pond; if the water temperature is lower than 15°C, emergency measures should be taken, such as heating to increase the water temperature.

Fishery cold protection measures: build a windproof shed on the north side of the fish farm.
