Planting time and method of lentil

The sowing time of lentils varies from region to region, for example, the sowing time of lentils in the Yangtze River basin is from May to the end of July, and the sowing time of lentils in North China is June. The main planting methods are sowing and transplanting. If you want to transplant lentils, you need to do it after the middle of February or when the seedlings have one leaf and one heart.

During the lentil planting tube, you should also pay attention to the following points:

1. Field arrangement: turn deeply into the sun for one week, apply 2 tons of farm manure to the soil per mu, crush the soil into small pieces, press 1.8 meters of net moisture surface, 30 cm wide ridge, make high soil moisture and low ridge, hit planting ponds on the soil moisture surface, and make wide and narrow rows. When broadening the line, plant the pond all the way in the middle of each soil moisture surface with a distance of 45 inches. When hitting a narrow line, hit 2 planting ponds on each soil moisture surface according to the row spacing of 1.5 × 0.45 meters.

two。 Transplanting method: when transplanting, use 5-10 kg compound fertilizer per mu, spread it in the sowing pond and mix with the soil, transplant the nutrition bag with 4 seedlings in each pond, cover the film on the soil moisture surface and compact it, poke the film and pull out the lentil seedlings, and finally pour through the fixed root water in the planting pond.

3. Plant adjustment: after the lentil survives, insert the pile and set up the frame in time, lead the vine to put on the pile, insert 3 piles in each pond, the top of the pile is tied up with thread, and finally connect the top of the pile around each soil moisture with a solid line, which is conducive to the climbing of lentil branches and the formation of hedge growth. After entering the vigorous growth period, we should often beat leaves, mainly to get rid of overdense leaves, diseases, insects, old leaves, cover flowers and leaves where lentils grow, so as to reduce nutrient consumption, increase ventilation and light transmittance, and be conducive to the growth of flat pods.

4. Fertilizer and water management: 20 days after transplanting, 5 kg urea (or large manure water) and 10 kg compound fertilizer per mu were irrigated with water, 1-2 times before harvest, and once every 15 days after entering the harvest period. 5-10 kg of urea (or large dung water) and 10-30 kg of compound fertilizer were watered every mu according to the growth of lentil plants.

5. Prevention and control of diseases and insect pests: it is necessary to prevent the occurrence of mosaic virus disease, lentil rust, lentil leaf spot, lentil gray butterfly and lentil red spot in advance.

6. Timely harvest: lentils can be eaten from tender pods to old pods, and pods of different maturity can be harvested according to the needs of the market. Lentils should be selected before and in the middle of plant harvest, with the characteristics of this variety, full pods with bright skin color, and harvested when the skin is dry and shrunk.

Although lentils are adaptable to many kinds of land, it is recommended to plant lentils on well-drained and fertile sandy soil if they want to increase production.
