How to plant buckwheat for high yield

Buckwheat, as an important food crop in China, has a wide range of planting area and market demand. The nutritional value of buckwheat is relatively high, so the planting area is still expanding, and the demand for yield is getting higher and higher. Now how to increase the yield has become a major problem faced by many farmers. So how can buckwheat be planted with high yield? Let's take a look at it with the editor.

1. Fine land preparation

Soil preparation is an indispensable work before planting buckwheat. Because buckwheat has to be rotated, we must first choose the soil with sufficient fertility and normal drainage and irrigation, and the soil of the previous crop is preferably legume. Then it is necessary to increase the intensity of soil preparation, not shallow hoe shallow ploughing. Because if the soil is too alkaline due to improper soil preparation, it is very disadvantageous to the growth of buckwheat. Therefore, we should carefully prepare the soil, improve the structure of the soil, eliminate the harmful substances in the soil, improve the soil permeability, create a good growth environment for buckwheat and improve the seed setting rate.

2. Rational sowing

Buckwheat is generally sown around spring and autumn every year. We should adjust the sowing time reasonably according to the different regional environment, for example, if there is an alpine phenomenon, then we should appropriately advance the sowing time and try our best to ensure that the harvest can be carried out before the frost, so as to prevent the low temperature from causing frost damage and reduce the yield. The sowing method is generally strip sowing on demand, reasonable sowing can improve the germination ability of seeds, enhance the root growth ability of seedlings, and reduce lodging phenomenon. Then the sowing amount should be controlled at 3kg/ mu. After sowing, we should do a good job of seed mulching, improve soil moisture retention capacity and promote seedling emergence.

3. Scientific fertilization

Many friends generally choose to sow seeds after the harvest of the previous crop, with no deep ploughing or base fertilizer. In this way, the growth and nutrition of buckwheat can not be satisfied at all. If you want to have a high yield of buckwheat, you must apply enough base fertilizer and do a good job of topdressing. At the same time of ensuring sufficient base fertilizer, topdressing should be combined with intertillage work about twice when the seedlings are unearthed. Then do a good job of topdressing according to the growth stage of buckwheat. For example, in the flowering stage, fruiting stage and other important periods to timely topdressing to ensure adequate nutrition. However, we should pay attention to the amount of nitrogen fertilizer and other fertilizers, not too much, to prevent buckwheat from flourishing.

4. Artificial pollination

Buckwheat is a kind of cross-pollination plant, if you rely on your own pollination, the amount of pollen is insufficient, the pollination seed setting rate is also very low, and its yield will naturally be relatively low. Therefore, when we plant buckwheat, we should pay attention to do a good job of artificial pollination. Improve the pollination and seed setting rate of buckwheat. When buckwheat enters the full flowering stage, it begins to drive flour in the sunny morning and lasts for about 5 days. Or it can also be pollinated by bees, which can effectively improve the seed setting rate, the seed setting rate will increase, and its yield will certainly increase.

The above is a brief introduction to how buckwheat can be planted with high yield. We should not only do a good job in the above four aspects, but also strengthen the management work, which can further increase the yield and ensure the high yield of buckwheat.
