Abstract: Abnormal weather at harvest time results in wheat lodging and post-harvest sprouting in China’s main wheat-producing areas. Measures such as promoting resistant varieties, using mechanical equipment for harvesting, spraying agents to prevent sprouting, timely storage and drying, screening of already sprouted seeds, timely drainage for farmlands, and full utilization of drying sites can salvage wheat losses. In addition, we have publicly released a spray formula consisting of potassium chloride, abscisic acid, organosilicone, and sodium selenite. This formula is effective and economical for inhibiting wheat germination in high-humidity environments.
