Matters needing attention before wheat sowing

October is the season for wheat sowing. Make preparations before sowing to lay the foundation for a bumper harvest of wheat in the coming year.

? Wheat seed treatment.

According to the local climate and soil characteristics, select suitable varieties. After selecting the seeds, dry the seeds twice, at least once. For the first time, about a month before sowing, the seeds were dried on the ground on a sunny day for about two days. The second drying is carried out three to five days before sowing. After drying, the seeds were mixed with new high-fat film, so that the seeds after sowing had strong seedling potential, strong seedlings, developed root system, strong disease resistance and drought resistance.

? Prepare the ground.

Turn the soil deeply, break the bottom of the plough, make the soil transparent, enhance the ability of soil water and fertilizer conservation, and improve the drought resistance and cold resistance of wheat. After turning over, rake the ground flat and shredded, and strive to make the upper and lower solid.

? Straw utilization.

Some straw is often left in the field after the last crop harvest, and the straw in the field is fully crushed as far as possible, and water is poured once before ploughing to speed up the ripening and retting of the straw. Some ammonium bicarbonate or calcium superphosphate can also be added to speed up straw ripening. In order to prevent the occurrence of diseases and insect pests, insecticides and fungicides can be applied on the ground before sowing. In arid areas, water should be watered once before sowing to ensure the emergence rate.
