The latest planting method and time of Coix barley

Barley rice often appears in the form of rice soup, barley porridge or barley flour in our lives. Its nutritional value is very high. At present, many of us have heavy moisture and edema. In fact, sometimes you are not fat but your moisture is heavy. Eating more food made by barley can remove moisture from the body and enhance immunity. Today, let's take a look at how barley is planted, when it is harvested and how it is planted at the same time.

Planting time

In fact, the time of planting barley has a great relationship with the climate. At the same time, there are many time periods for planting barley, generally speaking, from March to June every year. More specifically, the earliest is from the first ten days of March to the middle of March, the second is from the end of March to the beginning of April, then from the end of April to the beginning of May, and the last sowing time is in early June. That is to say, you can not sow seeds earlier than March nor later than June. Too early or too late will affect the yield of Coix barley.

Planting method

Seed selection and soil preparation: we must pay attention to the selection of barley seeds, choose full and glossy seeds for seed use, or choose good varieties when buying seeds, that is to say, seeds with strong adaptability, strong resistance and good yield and quality. After the seed has been selected, the soil preparation will be carried out, and there are two ways of soil preparation. The first is the hydroponic method of soil preparation, that is, filling the field with water, then ploughing, and ploughing. The second is dry planting method of soil preparation, that is, digging soil, making ridges and ditches to make a good drainage and irrigation system. Both methods need to apply base fertilizer to ensure soil fertility.

Sowing method: seed treatment should be carried out before sowing, that is, the seeds should be packed without words, then soaked in lime water, and after a day, the cloth bag will be taken out and washed with clean water several times, which will help to improve the germination rate of the seeds. and then you can sow. There are two ways of sowing, that is, water planting and dry planting. Hydroponic planting is the same as transplanting rice seedlings, but barley doesn't need to pour water into the field all the time. Just wait for the soil to dry before digging trenches to make ridges. The dry planting method is to sow seeds at regular intervals on the ridges that have been made before.

Field management: if there are seedlings in the field, it is necessary to replenish the seedlings in time. Generally speaking, weeding and fertilization should be carried out once when the barley seedlings grow to five or six centimeters, and the second weeding should wait until fifteen to twenty centimeters. This time, it is also necessary to apply fertilizer. When the seedlings grow to about 35 centimeters, that is, when they blossom and bear ears, topdressing should be carried out, usually using farm manure or urea. And take anti-lodging measures. Water in the growth process of barley is also very important, generally more water in the germination period, but in the seedling as far as possible to maintain drought, until the ear to replenish water in time, so it is necessary to control the moisture in the field. Finally, in order to increase the yield, we usually take artificial means to help Coix to pollinate and improve the panicle setting rate.

Timely harvest: the mature season of barley is usually in September, but there is a difference in the ripening time of each plant, even the same plant. Generally, 80% of the barley is discolored and hardened, which is basically ready to be harvested. It takes three or four days for the cut barley to be dried for threshing. After threshing, you have to bask for a few days and then peel and pack, and then the harvest is really over.

The above is the brief introduction of the planting time and methods of Coix barley to you today. If you want to know more about Coix barley, then pay attention to us.
