The latest course of field management techniques of buckwheat

Buckwheat, also known as buckwheat, is a miscellaneous grain crop, which is grown in most parts of our country. Buckwheat has certain medicinal value, such as appetizer, promoting digestion and so on. And now the products processed by buckwheat on the market are also very popular, such as buckwheat bread, buckwheat cake and so on. More and more people grow buckwheat, but how to manage it after planting? Today, the editor brings you the field management technology of buckwheat. Let's take a look at it.

1. Seedling stage management

After sowing buckwheat, we should do a good job in seedling protection, help seeds germinate and improve the germination rate. If you encounter high temperature and dry weather after sowing, it is necessary to suppress the soil in time and improve the water retention of the soil, which is conducive to seed water absorption and germination. If there is excess weather after sowing, it should be drained in time, otherwise it will lead to soil consolidation, excessive water absorption of seeds, reduce the ability of top soil, and affect the emergence rate. If the soil is hardened, it should also be broken in time, pay attention not to hurt the seeds and seedlings, and control the amount of water in the seedling stage, too much water is not conducive to the growth of seedlings.

2. Ploughing and weeding

Intertillage weeding is a work that must be done in planting buckwheat and any crop. The purpose of intertillage is to make the soil soft, enhance ventilation, improve soil water and fertilizer conservation capacity, maintain soil temperature, and promote the growth of buckwheat seedlings. And it can also effectively weed and prevent weeds from grabbing the nutrients needed for the growth of buckwheat seedlings. Proper weeding in mid-tillage is beneficial to increase yield and save planting cost. The specific frequency and degree should be determined according to the planting soil, plant growth and the number of weeds and other factors, to prevent damage to buckwheat roots during intertillage, resulting in buckwheat growth hindered.

3. Water management

Buckwheat is one of the representatives of dry crops, but it still needs a certain amount of water in the planting process. Especially in the flowering and filling period of buckwheat, more water is needed. Most of buckwheat in China are planted in places with less water, and the water needed for buckwheat growth can only rely on Rain Water. As a result, the output is not ideal. Therefore, in areas with irrigation conditions, it is necessary to water buckwheat in an appropriate amount. If buckwheat encounters high temperature and drought during flowering and filling period, it must be watered in time to ensure the water demand of buckwheat in this period, increase yield and promote high yield.

4. Florescence management

Buckwheat is a food crop dominated by cross-pollination, so the seed setting rate of self-pollination is low, which is also the main reason for the poor yield of buckwheat. Therefore, in order to improve the seed setting rate and increase the yield of buckwheat, it is necessary to do a good job of auxiliary pollination at flowering stage. In addition to self-pollination, buckwheat can also be pollinated by various insects. Bees are one of the best insects, so we can keep bees in wheat fields and wait until flowering to pollinate buckwheat. This can not only improve the seed setting rate and yield of buckwheat, but also carry out apiculture and further increase its own economic benefits.

The above is the brief introduction of buckwheat field management technology. Buckwheat has high economic value and low planting cost, so it is the main crop that many people are planting on a large scale. And the market demand of buckwheat is not low, so its planting prospect is still very good. However, the editor still wants to remind you that you still need to consider the stakes before planting. That's all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only. Thank you for your reading and support.
