How do you grow malt?

1. Land preparation

Fine the soil, fill the field, then sprinkle with 4,000 jin of farm manure, turn the land over again, stir the fertilizer well, and then set up a small ditch every other meter to 1.5 meters to prepare for drainage and irrigation.

two。 Sprout

3. Sowing seeds

In North China, seeds are usually sown around November in winter, while in Northeast China, seeds are sown in March and April in spring. Spread the seeds evenly in the ditch, and then cover the seeds with soil.

4. Field management

When there is a thin layer of green in the wheat field, we can apply fertilizer and watering for the first time. Watering can be done at this time. The main way to apply fertilizer is to use urea to promote seedlings, to spread fertilizer directly, and to ease watering in water. The second fertilization is carried out when the wheat seedlings are tillering.

In addition, during the planting period, we should also do a good job in the prevention and control of diseases and insect pests and spray the corresponding chemicals in advance.
