How is nutritious buckwheat grown? Farming tips sharing
Tartary buckwheat has abundant nutritional and health care functions, and in order to achieve high and stable yields, it is necessary to master the following cultivation techniques. 1. The selection of land and soil conditions are not harsh, with high adaptability, but suitable for sandy loam with flat terrain, deep soil layer, medium fertility and good ventilation. After selecting the site, the cultivated land should be turned below 20 cm in order to better crush the soil in the soil, maintain water and soil, and remove weeds and pests from the ground.
Second, the selection of high-quality tartary buckwheat seeds is the foundation to achieve high yield of tartary buckwheat. Therefore, new varieties with disease resistance, insect resistance, strong adaptability and high yield should be selected. These seeds are picked out before they are planted, and then processed. In order to increase the germination rate, impurities, damage and pests and other impurities are removed. Usually between mid-May and early June, this period of temperature is warm, which is favorable for the growth and development of sweet buckwheat. Seed sowing can be strip sowing method or hole sowing, with a depth of 3 4 cm per mu. 3. Fertilizing buckwheat has a great demand for various nutrients, especially phosphorus and potassium. In preparation, a certain amount of phosphorus and potassium should be evenly sprinkled into the land. If the soil quality is poor, it is necessary to add appropriate nitrogen and compound fertilizer during the planting process to improve soil fertility. In the growth period of buckwheat, if the seedling stage is low, effective fertilizer should be applied immediately to facilitate its growth and development.
Fourth, field management in the buckwheat growth period, pay attention to the prevention and control of weeds, to loosen the soil in a timely manner. To a certain extent, in addition to weeds, it can also prevent tartary buckwheat from competing with weeds, and loosening the tillage layer can enhance permeability and promote the root development of tartary buckwheat. In order to increase the fruit setting rate of tartary buckwheat during flowering, artificial pollination can be used. In this process, the prevention and control of pests should be strengthened, and if they occur, they should be prevented and controlled immediately. 5. Harvesting and StorageBuckwheat is usually harvested more than 20 days after flowering, when the seeds are fully ripe and brown or dark brown. It should be dried immediately after harvest to prevent moisture and mildew. After drying, tartary buckwheat should be stored in a dry and ventilated place to prevent moisture and pest invasion. During storage, it is necessary to pay attention to moisture, rodents and pests to ensure the quality and safety of the product.
On this basis, several main problems that should be paid attention to in the cultivation of tartary buckwheat were proposed, namely, land selection, seed selection and sowing, fertilization, field management, harvesting and storage, etc. In order to produce tartary buckwheat with good quality and high yield, it is necessary to carry out scientific cultivation and management. In addition, tartary buckwheat also has high nutritional and health care functions, therefore, its application in the food industry will receive more attention.
