Millet, also known as millet, is one of the most important food crops in the world, especially in northern China, where it is the main food of the people**. However, the occurrence of pests and diseases is a problem that cannot be ignored in the process of millet planting. In order to ensure the yield and quality of millet, farmers often need to use pesticides to control pests and diseases. But, you know what?Spraying millet when it is out of ear may affect its growth and development. So, how do we apply pesticides scientifically and environmentally friendly?
First of all, we need to understand that millet heading is a very critical stage. During this period, the ears of millet begin to form and gradually mature, which is a reproductive growth period and an important stage that determines the yield and quality of millet. If pesticides are used during this period, they may adversely affect the growth and development of millet and may even lead to reduced yield or reduced quality.
Therefore, we recommend applying the millet before heading. In this way, it can not only effectively control pests and diseases, but also avoid the impact of pesticides on millet. At the same time, we also need to pay attention to the selection of suitable pesticides. Generally speaking, we should choose pesticides with low toxicity and low residues, which are less harmful to the environment and the human body. In addition, we also need to apply pesticides in accordance with the recommended dosage and method on the pesticide instructions, and do not overdose or abuse pesticides. Because over-application is not only a waste of resources, but also may lead to excessive pesticide residues, posing a threat to human health.
In addition, we also need to pay attention to the weather conditions for the application of pesticides. It is best to apply pesticides in sunny and windless weather, and avoid applying pesticides in bad weather conditions such as high temperatures, strong winds, and rainy days. Because pesticides are applied in high temperatures, strong winds or rainy days, pesticides are easy to volatilize or lose, the effect will be greatly reduced, and the risk of environmental pollution may be increased.
Finally, we should also pay attention to personal protection after application. Wash your hands and face as soon as possible after application, and avoid inhaling pesticide vapor or contact with pesticide solution. Because pesticides have certain toxicity, if accidentally touched, they may cause harm to the human body.
In general, spraying millet when emerging from the ear needs to be handled with caution to avoid adverse effects on the growth and development of millet as much as possible. Only scientific and environmentally friendly application can not only protect our millet, but also protect our environment and health. Let's work together to be a green and environmentally friendly agricultural practitioner!
