Field Management of Wheat at jointing stage

Wheat is a crop that everyone is familiar with, and it also has a large planting area in the north of our country. Wheat growth will go through several different growth stages. There are different management methods in each stage, and the jointing stage is one of them. Jointing stage is the stage in which wheat grows rapidly and grows tall. But many people do not know how to manage when planting, so the editor sorted out the management method of wheat jointing stage for everyone, let's have a look!

1. Heat preservation and cold resistance

The jointing stage of wheat is generally in spring, the temperature in spring is lower, and the cold resistance of wheat decreases after this stage, if there is no timely heat preservation and cold resistance, it will affect the young spike of wheat in varying degrees. It can be properly irrigated in the field, increase the water temperature, enhance the thermal conductivity of the soil, and then prevent the decrease of surface temperature. If freezing injury has occurred, then timely fertilization and watering, improve the resistance of wheat, supplement nutrition, strengthen the cold resistance of wheat, reduce the incidence of freezing injury.

2. Fertilizer and water management

The jointing stage of wheat is the strongest growth period in the process of wheat planting, the demand for fertilizer and water is very large, and it is also the stage of rapid development of various organs of wheat. To topdressing in time, one of the more important is jointing fertilizer, which should be determined according to the specific growth of wheat. It is usually applied at the second stage of wheat growth, but it should not be too late and excessive too early, otherwise it will empty the wheat grains and affect the accumulation of nutrients. Phosphorus and potassium fertilizer can also be properly applied to improve the quality and yield of wheat.

3. prevention and control of diseases and insect pests

Diseases and insect pests are the first problem for all growers, and it is also the stage of high incidence of diseases and insect pests in the jointing stage of wheat, which will seriously hinder the growth and development of wheat. It is necessary to make frequent observation in the wheat field and prepare for all diseases and insect pests. If abnormal plants are found, the wheat field should be disinfected in time. Check again what kind of disease it is, and take corresponding control measures according to the actual disease. Special attention should be paid to the prevention and control of insect pests, because pests can cause the occurrence of other diseases. When spraying pesticides, we should pay attention to spraying the diseased parts, do not encounter water after spraying, and make up spraying in time after meeting water.

4. Daily management

The daily management of wheat is very important, and the weeds in the field should be removed in time, because weeds will have a great impact on the growth of wheat. It will not only rob the nutrients and water of wheat, but also worsen the permeability of wheat fields if the weeds are too high. So we can use the right amount of herbicide or artificial weeding to remove weeds from wheat fields. It should be noted that no matter what way it is, we should be careful not to hurt the roots, which will do great harm to the nutrient absorption and transport of wheat roots.

The above four points are the management methods at the jointing stage of wheat planting, we should pay attention to the prevention and control of diseases and insect pests, because this is the greatest harm to the growth of wheat. The main diseases of wheat are scab and powdery mildew, and the main pests are wheat spiders and aphids. It is necessary to prepare all the control agents for diseases and insect pests to create a good growth environment for wheat. That's all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only.
