The latest planting conditions of quinoa

Quinoa is a very hot food crop in China in recent years, and the nutritional value of quinoa is very high. Has a relatively unique taste, very easy to digest, it has to strengthen the body, repair physique. Improve the body stress and so on a lot of efficacy. China now has a certain planting area of quinoa, but the planting of quinoa needs certain conditions, the following editor brings you the planting conditions of quinoa, let's have a look!

1. Soil

The choice of soil is very important, although quinoa can grow normally in all kinds of soil, but the yield will certainly be affected. Although quinoa has fast growth rate and strong growth ability, it does not have a great demand for soil and is more resistant to barren. But everyone must plant quinoa for yield, so when we choose to plant soil, we should try to choose land that is fertile, water and fertile, soft and deep. And the plot should have good drainage and irrigation, and the soil PH value of 5 or 9 is more suitable for the growth of quinoa.

2. Lighting

The whole growth period of quinoa is inseparable from light, it is very fond of light. Light has a great effect on the growth of quinoa. Sufficient light can promote the development of quinoa, enhance the plumpness of wheat grains, and reduce the number of empty shells and dryness of wheat grains. So we should make sure that quinoa has enough sunlight to grow, and we should plant it in a higher and open place. This is beneficial to promote the light absorption, photosynthesis, increase the nutrient accumulation in the plant and increase the yield of quinoa.

3. Moisture

Water also has a certain effect on the growth of quinoa, but it is different from other food crops. Quinoa does not like water and is afraid of waterlogging. Quinoa is a relatively flat-tolerant crop because of its strong root absorptive capacity. However, if too much water will affect the respiration of the roots, it may also rett the roots and rot the roots, hinder the absorption of nutrients, and hinder the growth of quinoa. Therefore, the precipitation of planting plots should not be too much. If it is an area with heavy precipitation, it is necessary to do a good job in waterproofing and drainage. However, quinoa should not be planted in a completely dry environment, and drip irrigation should be appropriate when the soil is too dry.

4. Temperature

Quinoa is not suitable to grow in high temperature environment, as long as the temperature is controlled at about 5 degrees, quinoa seeds can germinate. The optimum growth temperature after emergence is about 25 degrees, and quinoa has strong cold resistance, and the lowest temperature it can bear is 0 degrees. However, as I just said, quinoa can not grow in a high temperature environment, so the planting area in the southern part of China is very small. Usually cultivated in Xizang, Xinjiang and other plateau areas. This is also the most suitable area for quinoa to grow.

The above is the editor's brief introduction to the planting conditions of quinoa, because the planting conditions of quinoa make it impossible to grow in many places. It simply leads to insufficient supply and high price of quinoa. However, relying on the current greenhouse planting technology, it can still be planted in the south, but the yield will certainly decline, so this is the end of today's introduction.
