Field management techniques of quinoa

The planting of quinoa has not been developed for a long time in China, but its planting technology is gradually improving. The market price of quinoa is higher than that of other food crops, and demand is rising steadily. Growing quinoa may not be difficult, but field management is not that easy. So how to manage growing quinoa? Today, the editor brings you the field management technology of quinoa planting. Let's take a look at it.

1. Water management

Quinoa is a drought-resistant crop, but it needs a certain amount of water at its seedling stage, so we can choose to water the soil thoroughly after rain or first when sowing. The soil water content in seedling stage is directly related to the growth and survival rate of seedlings, if the water content is insufficient, the seedlings can not be whole. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that the soil has the right amount of water before and after sowing. After the seedlings grow, the demand for water gradually decreases, and even too much water will lead to the death of quinoa, but a small amount of water should be irrigated during the filling period.

2. Topdressing in time

Quinoa has a strong growth ability, but it also needs to supplement the right amount of nutrition. When applying base fertilizer, it can be applied at one time if possible. But if not, fertilizer should be applied in time according to the growth progress of quinoa during the growth process. Pay attention to the nutritional composition when topdressing, reasonable proportion can make quinoa grow more healthily. Regular observation of quinoa plants, found that there are symptoms of fertilizer deficiency, it is necessary to apply nitrogen fertilizer in time, but nitrogen fertilizer must not be excessive. If the dosage is not controlled properly, it will lead to the overgrowth of quinoa, affect the yield and reduce the planting efficiency.

3. Prevent lodging

The plant of quinoa is relatively high, but the root capacity is poor, the distribution is shallow, and the stem is very fragile, so it is easy to lodge in the windy season in autumn. Lodging will not only reduce the yield of quinoa, but also reduce the quality of quinoa. Therefore, in order to ensure the normal growth of quinoa, it is necessary to prevent quinoa from lodging. When selecting the land, we can choose the land with less wind, control the application of base fertilizer, and add the content of potassium fertilizer, because potash fertilizer can improve the growth of quinoa, promote the stalk stout, and enhance the lodging resistance of quinoa stalk.

4. Disease control

The prevention and control of diseases and insect pests of quinoa should not be relaxed, and the prevention and control work should be focused on prevention. The lower preventive measures are to prevent continuous cropping, do not select plots with serious diseases and insect pests, and can not be sealed without light. Ploughing and disinfecting the soil before planting, taking advantage of the low temperature in winter to eliminate some of the germs. And choose good weather when sowing, do not sow in cloudy and rainy weather. Observe the growth of quinoa, if there are symptoms to pull out the diseased plant in time, check for specific diseases, in the use of corresponding agents to treat, control and prevent spread.

The above is the editor's brief introduction to the field management technology of quinoa, and more and more people grow quinoa. However, planting failures also account for a certain proportion, mostly because of the lack of a correct management method. As a result, the growth of quinoa was weak, the disease was serious, and the yield decreased. That's all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only.
