Millet planting time, spring valley, April, summer valley, June

Spring valley: it was planted in late April, and the sowing time was from Qingming to Grain Rain, and it could be harvested in mid-late September. Summer Valley: planted in late June, sowing time is after winter wheat harvest, mid-early October can be harvested. When the sowing temperature is about 8 ℃, the soil with loose fertility, good drainage and irrigation and high nutrient content should be selected.

First, millet planting time

1. Spring Valley

Spring millet was planted in late April, the sowing time was from Qingming Festival to Grain Rain, and harvested in mid-late September.

2. Summer Valley

Summer millet was planted in late June, sowing time was after winter wheat harvest, and harvest in mid-early October.

2. Millet planting techniques

Millet is a main food crop and can also be used as feed for poultry. Millet is rich in nutrition and has the functions of clearing heat and relieving thirst and tonifying spleen and stomach. The planting techniques of millet are as follows.

1. Site selection and seed selection

(1) site selection: millet is generally planted in plots with loose fertility, good drainage and irrigation and high nutrition. After land selection, it should be combined with soil preparation and fine rake, which can increase the number of millet sprouting and seedling emergence, avoid continuous cropping, and it is best not to plant millet in the previous crop in order to ensure the yield.

(2) seed selection: when selecting seeds, try not to select shrunken and lighter inferior varieties, but the superior ones with good stress resistance, high yield, high commodity value and rich nutrition are the best. After seed selection, soaking seeds in salt water can improve the quality of millet. Finally, the selected seeds will be treated with chemicals to enhance millet disease resistance.

2. Sowing seeds at the right time

The main results are as follows: (1) the optimum sowing temperature is about 8 ℃, which can ensure soil moisture, dig holes after fine finishing, and cover soil after sowing.

(2) in case of Rain Water weather during the sowing period, the soil should be compacted in time, which can promote the growth and development of seeds, increase the number of buds and ensure strong seedlings.

(3) the reasonable density should be based on the topography and the degree of soil fertility, such as the higher the density of flat land or fertile land, and vice versa.

3. Rational fertilization

(1) Base fertilizer: mainly apply fully mature farm manure, combined with calcium superphosphate, combined with soil preparation and soil turning.

(2) topdressing: after sowing, the main application of nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizer as seed fertilizer can meet the nutrient needs of the growth period; when the seedling height is about 40cm, dig ditches near the seedling distance to 5cm, topdressing nitrogen fertilizer, and then cover the soil evenly to improve fertilizer efficiency; pay attention to control the amount of topdressing, excessive burning seedlings are easy to affect the growth.

4. Field management

The main results are as follows: (1) pressing seedlings: when the seedlings have 3-4 leaves, it is beneficial to the development of strong roots.

(2) Interseedling: seedling height 3cm to ensure the growth space and nutritional area of millet.

(3) Seedling setting: the seedling height 6cm should be carried out to ensure the emergence quantity of millet and keep the seedlings which are growing well and free from diseases and insect pests.

(4) the growth period is millet weeding and loosening soil, which can promote root development; proper watering at jointing stage and filling stage, timely irrigation and topdressing in summer drought can promote flower ear, increase grain number and seed setting rate, thus increase yield.

5. Disease and pest control

Millet has strong disease resistance and low incidence of diseases, and aphids, armyworm and other pests are easy to appear at seedling and jointing stage. 5% phoxim 50ml and 40kg water are sprayed per mu, filling to the mature stage, pay attention to bird damage and lodging for early-maturing millet varieties, and should be checked and prevented frequently.

6. Timely harvest

When the grain ears are yellow, the grains are hard and the leaves are yellow, they can basically be harvested. After harvest, they can be stored for about 7-10 days before threshing, which can increase the millet yield.
