The summer heat begins to retreat, nights grow cooler, and crops enter the final sprint toward maturity. For farmers, this is a critical window: every decision now affects yield, grain quality, and harvest efficiency.

As the old farming saying goes, “At Chushu, the fields change overnight.”

Key management now:

• ➤
  Reduce nitrogen — prevent excessive vegetative growth, delayed maturity, and lodging. Help the plant move energy from leaves to grains.
• ➤
  Increase potassium — support grain filling, strengthen stems, improve quality and stress resistance.
• ➤
  Monitor moisture — keep soil moisture balanced. Don’t let fields dry out too quickly, but drain excess water after heavy rain. Proper wet-dry alternation supports healthy roots and plump grains.
• ➤
  Scout pests & diseases — watch for planthoppers, leaf folders, borers, sheath blight, ear rot and other local risks. Early detection means better control.
• ➤
  Guard against lodging & weather risks — pay attention to strong winds, heavy rain and temperature drops. Adjust water and nutrients in time.
• ➤
  Prepare harvest equipment — service combines, dryers, transport and storage. Check parts, fuel, safety and drying capacity before the rush.
• ➤
  Plan harvest & post-harvest — track crop maturity and weather. Harvest at the right time, then prepare moisture testing, drying, storage and sales.

Smart transitions lead to abundant harvests. From field to grain bin, every timely step turns a good crop into a great harvest.
