The latest planting time of lentils

Dolichos originated in southwest Asia and the eastern Mediterranean region, suitable for cold climate, a variety of temperate and subtropical regions, in the tropics often in the coldest season or in high altitude cultivation, China mainly produced in Shanxi, Shaanxi, Gansu, Hebei, Henan, Hubei, Yunnan, Sichuan and other places, let's take a look at the cultivation time of lentils!

The growing habits of lentils

The suitable germination temperature of hyacinth bean seeds is 22~23℃, the plant can withstand high temperature of about 35℃, the root system is developed and strong, the drought resistance is strong, the adaptability to various soils is good, and the yield can be significantly increased when planted in sandy soil or loam with good drainage and fertility.

Growing time of lentils

Lentils are generally cultivated in the open field in summer, usually after mid-January can be sown six times, but different areas of sowing time is also different, such as the Yangtze River basin lentils planting time is May to the end of July sowing, North China lentils planting time is mostly in June sowing.

Lentil cultivation techniques

1. Artificial frame planting: lentils are generally sown, soil preparation and fertilization are the same as green beans (frame beans), the width of the ridge is 133 cm, the height is 10-15 cm, the width of the ditch is 50 cm, two rows are planted in each ridge, the row spacing is 70-80 cm, and the plant spacing is 50 cm. Open field cultivation in early and mid-April direct seeding, 3- 4 seeds per hole, 3-4 seeds covered with soil, about 3.5-4 kg per mu. After emergence, uniform seedlings, 2 seedlings per hole. After uniform seedling, 500kg of human excrement shall be applied per mu, herringbone frame shall be set up when vine length is 35cm, vine shall be put on the shelf, topdressing shall be applied twice in fruiting period, 500kg of human excrement shall be applied each time, intertillage and weeding shall be the same as those of green beans.

2. Cultivation without support: The early maturing variety of hyacinth bean is cultivated without support, soil preparation, basal fertilizer application, bed making, cold bed seedling raising in plastic shed, seedling stage 30 days, planting in middle and late April, row and plant spacing 40 cm respectively, planting 4 seedlings in each hole, when the plant height is 50 cm, leaving 40 cm to pick the core to make it grow lateral branches, picking the core again after the lateral branch axils grow secondary lateral branches for 4 consecutive times, picking the core continuously after harvesting, making the plant appear clustered, harvesting in early July, The yield per mu is 800-1000 kg.
