Matters needing attention in Sesame planting

Sesame is an important economic crop in China. It has a wide range of uses. It is not only an important raw material for the food industry, but also has an oil content of more than 50%. It is an important economic crop with remarkable economic benefits. But it is not easy to grow it, there are a lot to pay attention to, often due to a little mistake may lead to huge losses, the following pro-agricultural network to bring you sesame planting attention.

1. Select improved varieties

The selection of good varieties is the basis for determining the quality and yield of sesame. Excellent varieties with high yield, strong disease resistance, strong stress resistance and suitable for local environment are selected when planting. In this way, it is easy to manage when planting, high yield and high income.

2. Avoid continuous cropping

According to experimental studies, sesame seeds have been planted in the same area for more than one year, and the incidence of sesame has reached 50%, while that of continuous planting for 2 years has reached 80%. Therefore, it is best to rotate with other cash crops such as corn and wheat, which can also ensure land utilization.

3. Reasonable close planting

When the planting density is too high, there will be the phenomenon of photosynthesis and nutrients among plants, resulting in poor individual growth and development, affecting yield, not easy to manage, and extremely vulnerable to diseases and insect pests. Generally, the single rod type is planted about 20000 plants per mu, while the branching type is about 10000 plants per mu.

4. Ploughing and weeding

Weeds also have a great influence on sesame planting, weeds and plants will seize nutrients, which is not conducive to plant growth, and long-term non-ploughing and loosening soil will lead to soil agglomeration, which is not conducive to the root growth of sesame plants. 2-3 weeding is carried out every year to speed up the growth of sesame.

5. Pest control

The common diseases of sesame are Fusarium wilt and leaf spot. Fusarium wilt causes a large number of seedlings to die, and leaf spot causes plant leaves to wither and fall off, which affects the yield. The main pests are underground insects, aphids and capsule pests, which gnaw on plant stems and leaves, roots or suck plant sap, which cause different harm to plants and affect yield and quality. Careful observation should be made when planting and timely treatment of diseases and insect pests should be found.

The above are the matters needing attention for sesame planting brought by the pro-agricultural network. Harvest the sesame in time after the sesame is ripe, lest the pods are too ripe and cause them to burst and fall off.
