When are lentils planted? What is the price and planting method of lentil seeds?

Lentil is a kind of vegetable with high protein and carrot, which is easy to cultivate and plays a certain role in regulating the supply of vegetables in summer and autumn. When will lentils be planted? What is the price and planting method of lentil seeds?

What is the price of lentil seeds?

The price of lentil seeds is about 150,200 yuan per jin, but there is a great difference in price due to different varieties, quality, producing areas and purchased quantity, generally about 3 jin per mu.

When will lentils be planted?

Lentils can usually be sowed one after another after mid-January, but the sowing time is also different in different regions. For example, the planting time of lentils in the Yangtze River basin is from May to the end of July, and the planting time of lentils in North China is mostly in June.

Third, what are the planting methods of lentils?

1. Select excellent varieties

The improved varieties were selected according to the cultivation conditions. The existing lentils are divided into white lentils, green lentils and purple lentils according to their pod color. The main varieties cultivated in China are:

① purple-edged lentils. That is, pig ear lentils, trailing. The leaves are dark green, the veins and petioles of the leaves are purple, the pods are wide and flat, the color is green and thick, the pods are dark purple on one side, the pods are crisp and tender, each pod contains 5-6 seeds, the mature seeds are black, the cooked seeds are good, the quality is good, the yield is high, the middle and late maturity is strong, the heat resistance is strong, the cold resistance is weak, the pods like water and fertilizer, and the growth is luxuriant.

② white lentils. Trailing, much branched, strong growth. The whole plant is green. The flower is white, the pod is narrow, long and thin, light green, the pod meat is thin and tender, the seed is white, the flavor is good. The whole growth period of spring sowing is 160-170 days. Extremely resistant to drought.

③ black seed white lentil. Trailing, the growth potential is strong, the stem light green node is purple, the leaf is dark green, the flower is purple red, the pod setting rate is high, the pod is light green and narrow, each pod contains 5% 6 seeds, the seed is black. Drought resistance, barren resistance, heat resistance, cold resistance, long harvest time.

④ purple lentils. Trailing, strong branching, dark purple stem, green leaves, dark purplish red veins and petioles, long inflorescences, many pods, narrow pods, thick purplish red, containing 3-5 seeds, soft when cooked. Late ripening, heat-resistant, cold-resistant, drought-resistant, long harvest time and high yield.

2. Field management

① water and fertilizer management: less water was needed at seedling stage, and more water was needed after vine elongation and podding stage. Generally, 1: 2 water is irrigated during the extension period, and about 10 days without rain in the flowering and pod period. After watering, ploughing and weeding, combined with topdressing, to prevent flowers and pods from falling and overgrowing. Ploughing should be shallow to prevent root damage. Organic matter fertilizers such as rotten chicken manure can be applied before podding. After setting pods, apply a small amount of chemical fertilizer.

② frame to draw the vine, pruning: set up the frame before drawing the vine, or use the rope to lead the tree and go to the house in time after drawing the vine. When the main vine has 5 or 6 compound leaves, the heart is picked out, which promotes multiple lateral vines. When the side vine is 3 or 4 leaves, it can blossom and bear pods early, but the yield is low. Generally, if you use a hedge or herringbone frame to cultivate, pick the heart when the stem vine grows to the top of the frame, which can promote the early maturity of the pod.

③ control of diseases and insect pests: lentil diseases are less, insect pests are mainly aphids and red spiders, can be sprayed with low toxic agents to control as soon as possible.

3. Pest control

Control of ① lentil rust and brown spot: spray 70% methyl thiophanate 100g or 37% difenoconazole 20g with water 60kg per mu.

② lentil armyworm, small gray butterfly and tobacco green worm control: 3.3% Avi ·high chlorine 15kg 30g or 30% chlorpyrifos 40~60ml spray 60kg water per mu.

4. Harvest

Lentils have a long growth period (160-300 days), blossom and bear pods 60-65 days after emergence, and young pods can be harvested one after another. It can be harvested for 90,120 days. Generally, 15000-18750 kg of tender pods are produced per hectare. The shelf life of fresh pods and tender beans is short. If stored at a relative humidity of 85%-90% and 0-2 degrees Celsius, fresh pods can be preserved for 21 days and tender beans with pods for about 7 days. The mature seeds were harvested for 150-210 days for long vines and 60-75 days for precocious short vines. Mature pods are harvested and dried when they are dried and stored after threshing and cleaning.

Generally speaking, lentils are relatively easy to grow vegetables, in the care of mainly do a good job in the prevention and control of diseases and insect pests, the yield is still guaranteed.
