Features: Vegetables are not only important as supplementary food, but also as agricultural products with high economic benefits and strong commercial characteristics. The production and supply of vegetables play a significant role in people's lives, as well as in adjusting the rural industrial structure, increasing farmers' income, achieving poverty alleviation and wealth creation, and even in implementing agricultural industrialization and developing the rural economy. The vegetable production in southern China occupies a crucial position in the country's vegetable production and supply. It has a large planting area, a wide variety of species, a long production and supply period throughout the year, and a total supply volume that cannot be compared with other regions. Especially, southern China leverages its geographical and climatic advantages to develop early spring and autumn-winter vegetable production, with products being transported nationwide, playing a vital role in increasing variety, balancing supply and demand, and ensuring stable supply. Vegetable cultivation in southern China also exhibits distinct regional characteristics. The region is vast, with complex geographical and natural conditions, abundant vegetable resources, diverse species, long production seasons, various cultivation methods, and a high multiple cropping index. As a result, there are significant differences in variety selection and cultivation management among different regions. To meet the urgent needs of vegetable farmers in southern China, popularize science and technology, and improve the scientific level of vegetable cultivation.
