Planting time of millet in South China

Millet is generally sown in the south in late February. When sowing, we often use the method of sowing, sowing directly and evenly on the pre-arranged seedbed.

Millet planting:

1. Soil preparation and fertilization

Millet is generally planted in ploughed fields with fertile soil. Before planting, we must first plough the soil, apply enough fertilizer, and improve the soil if necessary. And apply sufficient base fertilizer, generally phosphate fertilizer plus farm manure. It is also necessary to ensure that the fields have adequate light and good irrigation.

two。 Seed selection and sowing

Select high-quality millet seeds with uniform size, golden luster and fragrant taste, and soak the seeds for a few days. The seeds can be sown when the seeds are white and germinate. When sowing, sow millet seeds evenly to the seedbed and do a good job in seedling management. Interseedling work should be carried out when the seedlings grow 5-6 leaves, weeding in the field should be carried out frequently, and irrigation water should be ensured in times of drought so as not to make it dehydrated for a long time.

3. Field management

It is necessary to do a good job in promoting seedling growth, ploughing and weeding, timely watering, reasonable topdressing, and timely spraying Chuanhuawang No. 3 to promote flower bud differentiation and improve the quality of pollen fertilization; spraying Zhuangsui Ling before flowering can strengthen the physiological function of millet, improve the quality of fertilization and filling, increase 1000-grain weight, increase fruit setting rate, make seeds full and increase yield.

4. Pest control

Diseases and insect pests such as smut and red spiders are easy to occur in the growth stage of millet. According to the requirements of plant protection, targeted agents should be sprayed in time for killing and control, and spraying 800-fold liquid of new high-fat film can greatly improve the utilization rate of effective components of pesticides.

Millet is one of the staple foods in the north of China, but it is also loved by the people in the south because it is rich in protein, vitamins and other nutrients.
