Matters needing attention in barley planting

Barley is not only an important food crop, but also a high-value cash crop, as well as a farmed feed crop. The cultivation area of planting barley is extensive, the planting history is relatively long, and there is more perfect planting experience in the production. So today, let's not talk about how to plant, just briefly talk about what details we need to pay attention to in planting.

1. Field selection

In order to make the barley grow vigorously, the grains are full. Wheat fields should choose deep, fertile, breathable and fertile soil. In order to harvest conveniently, the wheat field had better be a flat and wide place with convenient transportation. Before planting, the soil should be deeply turned over and loose, so that the root system of barley can grow. Lay a good foundation for the robust growth of the plant.

2. Sowing seeds

Seeds must be selected and mixed before sowing, preferably short and strong varieties with high yield and lodging resistance. Sowing is decided according to the situation in different areas. It is mainly determined by the temperature, as long as it is in accordance with local conditions, and it is best to plant it in November, when the temperature is not much different in the areas where barley is widely grown.

3. Field management

Barley seedlings differentiate early and grow fast. The roots of barley seedlings are well developed and can absorb a large amount of barley. So it needs to be managed in advance. Barley has strong tolerance to poverty and can adapt to growth in barren land. It only needs to add a little fertilizer and water to ensure that the temperature is not too low, which affects flowering, pollination, fertilization and fruiting. It can grow better.

4. Control water and fertilizer

Before planting, the drainage and irrigation system should be repaired and drained in time on rainy days. The application of base fertilizer is carried out together with soil preparation, and the amount of fertilizer is about 1000 jin per mu, mainly agricultural machinery fertilizer. Transplanting nitrogen fertilizer and topdressing should not be less than twice. During the growth period, watering to prevent drought, can not irrigate too much, it is easy to cause rotten roots. Apply nitrogen fertilizer once after planting. In the later stage, the reasonable topdressing is about three times. The first topdressing at jointing stage was mainly available potash fertilizer.

5. Timely harvest

The best harvest time is when the barley is ripe during the milking period. Too mature, easy to fall off and lose, easy to sprout in case of rain. So it should be harvested on time to avoid loss.

Planting barley should pay attention to these small details in order to make barley grow well, achieve the purpose of high yield, high yield, increase yield, create economic value and achieve maximum benefit. Only by doing the above work well can we grow high-quality barley.
