Last Updated: 2024/11/08, Millet is warm and adaptable. It is not only resistant to drought and barren, but also not afraid of acid and alkali. It has been planted in the arid and barren mountain areas of north and south of our country. Planting points: ① is not suitable for continuous cropping, continuous cropping disease is serious, there are many weeds, so it must be reasonable rotation. ② does a good job of raking, shallow ploughing, suppressing and preserving soil moisture in spring to ensure the moisture needed for millet germination and emergence. ③ basic fertilizer is applied in combination with cultivated land before sowing, mainly farm manure, the amount of fertilizer per mu: 5000-7000 kg for high-yield field and 1500-4000 kg for middle-yield field.

Millet is warm and adaptable, resistant to drought, barren, and not afraid of acid and alkali. It is planted in arid and barren mountainous areas in the north and south of China.

Cultivation points:

① It is not suitable for continuous cropping, continuous cropping diseases are serious, weeds are numerous, and rotation must be reasonable.② In spring, harrow, plow and suppress moisture preservation to ensure the moisture required for germination and emergence of millet. (3) Base fertilizer should be applied in combination with cultivated land before sowing, mainly farm manure, fertilizer application amount per mu: 5000-7000 kg for high-yield field, 1500-4000 kg for middle-yield field; the best effect is to mix phosphate fertilizer and farm manure to make base fertilizer. (4) Sunning seeds, soaking seeds, dressing seeds with chemicals and coating seeds before sowing to control smut and underground pests. 5. Spring grain is usually sown from early May to early June. Most of them are seeded in furrows, with a seeding rate of 0.5 kg per mu and a seeding depth of 3-5 cm. 6. After emergence, check seedlings for replanting at 2-3 leaves per mu, thin seedlings at 5-6 leaves, and keep 20 - 35,000 seedlings per mu. 7. The first time of intertillage is combined with intermittent seedling determination, shallow hoeing and fine soil, and weeds are removed. The second intertillage is carried out at jointing stage combined with topdressing, and the intertillage should be deep and cultivated at the same time. The third time of cultivation is carried out before sealing the row. The cultivation depth is generally 4-5 cm. In addition to loosening and weeding, high soil cultivation is carried out to promote root development and prevent lodging. The best harvest is at the end of wax ripening or at the end of ripening. Harvesting too early, the grain is not full, the water content is high, the yield and quality are reduced; harvesting too late, the stem is dry, the ear size is crisp and the grain loss is serious.

The varieties commonly planted in Beijing area are: Migu 2000, Jingu 2401, Jingu 21, Luguzi, Heiguzi and hybrid millet "Zhangza" series.
