Abstract:By using the observation data of winter wheat scab rate from 15 sites in Jianghuai watershed area from 2010 to 2020, and the daily meteorological observation data of the heading and flowering period of each site, the comprehensive impacting index model and grade index of winter wheat head blight based on grey correlation degree were systematically constructed, and the temporal and spatial changes of winter wheat scab were analyzed with the statistical methods such as synthetic analysis, grey correlation, and percentile method, etc. Results show that:(1)average relative humidity, average temperature and accumulated rainy days were the key meteorological factors affecting the occurrence of winter wheat scab, and the gray correlation values was 0.356, 0.327, 0.317, respectively.(2)The comprehensive impacting index constructed on this basis can well reflect the occurrence of winter wheat scab in the Jianghuai watershed area.(3)The model is verified by independent data in 2021 and 2022, and the predicted value of the model constructed by the comprehensive impact index was in agreement with the measured value by more than 67%, and the model has high application value. (4)Since 2010, the comprehensive impact index of winter wheat scab at each site in the Jianghuai watershed area has shown a fluctuating trend, with a climate tendency rate of 2.1/(10 a), and the overall spatial characteristics were high in the southwest and low in the northeast. The average comprehensive impact index is 31.14-33.85. The average occurrence of wheat head blight in each site was mild to mild. The results of this study have guiding significance for the prediction, evaluation and comprehensive prevention and control of winter wheat scab in the Jianghuai watershed area.
