Wheat is an important food crop, and growing wheat can provide food and nutrition, as well as promote agriculture. Here's how to grow wheat to help you understand how to grow it.
1. Choose a suitable planting site.
Choosing the right place to grow is one of the keys to successful wheat farming. Wheat is suitable for planting on deep, fertile, well-drained soil. At the same time, it is necessary to avoid planting wheat on saline-alkali land, low-lying land, poor drainage and other undesirable geology.
2. Reasonable fertilization.
Wheat is one of the crops that require more fertilizer, so it needs to be fertilized properly before planting. Generally speaking, 2000-3000 kg of well-rotted organic fertilizer needs to be applied to each mu of land, and an appropriate amount of chemical fertilizer needs to be added. The amount of chemical fertilizer should be determined according to the nutrient status of the soil, generally 10-15 kg of urea, 20-30 kg of diammonium phosphate, and 10-15 kg of potassium chloride need to be applied per mu.
3. Fine land preparation.
Fine land preparation is one of the important links in wheat planting. After fertilization, the land needs to be finely prepared, and the land is ploughed loosely and raked flat, so that the soil becomes soft and finely broken, which is conducive to the growth and development of wheat.
Fourth, choose the appropriate varieties.
Choosing the right wheat variety is also one of the keys to successful planting. It is necessary to choose suitable varieties according to local natural conditions, climatic conditions and market demand and other factors. Generally speaking, it is necessary to choose wheat varieties with disease resistance, good stress resistance, wide adaptability, high yield and good quality.
Fifth, sow seeds at the right time.
Timely sowing is one of the important aspects of wheat planting. The appropriate sowing time should be determined according to the local climatic conditions and the growth characteristics of wheat. In general, wheat is sown between the end of September and the beginning of November each year. When sowing, it is necessary to ensure that the sowing depth is appropriate, generally about 3-5 cm. At the same time, it is necessary to ensure that the sowing density is reasonable, generally about 15-200,000 plants per mu.
6. Strengthen field management.
Strengthening field management is one of the important aspects of wheat planting. In the process of wheat growth, it is necessary to carry out watering, fertilization, weeding, and pest control in a timely manner. Especially in the later stage of wheat growth, it is necessary to carry out top dressing, watering, and pest control in time to ensure the normal growth and development of wheat.
7. Timely harvest.
Timely harvesting is one of the important aspects of wheat cultivation. After the wheat is ripe, it is necessary to harvest it in time to prevent the wheat from over-ripening in the field and affecting the quality and yield. Generally speaking, the best harvest time for wheat is between the first to middle of June each year, depending on the local climatic conditions and the growth of the wheat. After harvesting, the wheat should be dried, threshed, and impurities removed to ensure the quality and yield of wheat.
In short, the planting of wheat needs to start from the selection of suitable planting sites, reasonable fertilization, fine land preparation, selection of suitable varieties, timely sowing, strengthening field management and timely harvesting. Only by doing a good job in every link can we ensure the normal growth and development of wheat and improve the quality and yield of wheat.
