How to select the seeds of barley?

A single plant with strong growth and no diseases and insect pests should be selected for seed collection. When the seeds are dark brown at the end of August, the seeds should be cut off together with the stems and leaves, dried and removed to remove impurities. It can be sown with picking, or the seeds can be put into a cloth bag, hung in a cool, ventilated storage, and sown again the next year.

What are the methods of raising seedlings?

1. Land selection and preparation

Wheat is not strict on the soil, the general land can be planted, but it is better to use well-drained and fertile sandy loam. Generally, 1500-2000 kg of ring fertilizer, 15-20 kg of superphosphate and 50 kg of plant ash are applied every 667m2. After deep ploughing and fine raking, the bed is leveled and made of 1-1.3m wide.

2. Sowing and raising seedlings

Seed dressing with new high fat membrane before sowing (can be mixed with seed coating agent) to ward off underground diseases and insects, isolate virus infection, strengthen respiratory intensity and improve seed germination rate. Sowing can be divided into spring sowing and autumn sowing. Spring sowing is generally planted before and after Ching Ming Festival in March to April, while autumn sowing is in July every year.

3. The seedlings are fixed

When the seedlings grow to five centimeters, we must carry out inter-seedling, and timely ploughing and weeding after fixing the seedlings, to ensure that there are no weeds in the field and promote the absorption of its roots. If you encounter weeds, you must pull up the grass as soon as you see it.

4. Water and fertilizer management

After sowing, we should often irrigate to keep the border surface moist and ensure seedling emergence. After emergence, water should be irrigated in time in case of drought, and stagnant water should be eliminated in time in the rainy season to prevent rotting roots. When the seedling height is 3-4 inches, apply 30-50 jin of urea, and appropriately increase the watering times before flowering, you can apply some ammonium sulfate or urea. After the first cutting and before the germination of the second stubble seedlings, 1000 kg of human feces and urine or 15-20 kg of ammonium bicarbonate were applied every 667m2 to promote the growth and development of new seedlings.

Generally speaking, the flowering of wheat is also very beautiful, most of the flowers are white and red, and the aroma is rich, after the selection and breeding of seedlings, it can effectively promote its growth and flowering. And can also be used as medicine or make some drinks, so you can also try to plant.
