When is the right time to sow spring wheat?

Spring wheat planting time

Spring wheat has a wide adaptability to the environment and is generally grown in very cold places. The sowing time is from late March to early April, and it is harvested in mid-to-late July, once a year.

Spring wheat sowing method

Before sowing spring wheat, you need to select plump seeds and expose them to the sun for two days. This can increase the germination rate, enhance germination potential, and reduce diseases and pests. You can also mix them with pesticides to prevent diseases and pests. After sowing, water them thoroughly once and maintain them in semi-shaded place.

Spring wheat planting tips

Spring wheat has a greater demand for water during its growth period, so it is necessary to replenish water in a timely manner. However, it is not resistant to waterlogging, so it is best to control the amount of water each time. It is also necessary to apply fertilizer reasonably according to soil conditions and the growth of wheat seedlings, and weed as soon as possible after the wheat seedlings emerge to ensure the safety of the use of drugs.

Pay attention to chemical control to prevent and control diseases: For fast-growing wheat fields, when the wheat grows three true leaves, spray chlormequat aqueous solution on the leaves. To prevent and control wheat take-all disease, root rot, etc., you can spray chlormequat aqueous solution and triadimefon aqueous solution. If the disease is serious, you need to spray triadimefon once a week.

Spring wheat ripening and harvesting

The growth cycle of spring wheat is relatively short, about 90 days from sowing to harvesting. It is extremely drought-resistant and grows vigorously, making it suitable for sowing in spring. It is generally harvested in mid-to-late July, but its taste is not as good as winter wheat flour. The average yield per mu is about 1,000 kilograms.
