Summer sesame planting time

It is more appropriate to sow summer sesame in late May to early June.

During normal maintenance, it needs sufficient sunlight, which is more beneficial to its growth.

Summer sesame planting method

1. Land preparation and ridge making: When sowing summer sesame, the land needs to be carefully prepared. During the growing period, there is more rain, so it is necessary to make ridges, about 2-3 cm wide. After the ridge furrows, waist furrows and surrounding furrows are dug, it will be easier to irrigate.

2. Sowing: When sowing summer sesame, the general method is to scatter the seeds evenly and cover them with a thin layer of soil. This way the seedlings will emerge faster. After sowing, water them appropriately to keep the soil moist.

3. Post-sowing management: Summer sesame needs to be sprayed with pesticides in time 3 days after sowing, which can reduce the growth of weeds. In addition, thinning should be carried out regularly and the top buds should be removed to ensure good growth.
