Methods and techniques of wheat seed selection

Wheat is one of the main food crops in China. After the autumn harvest, it is a year to cultivate wheat. Now it is time to choose and buy wheat varieties. There are many wheat varieties, so how to select wheat correctly? Come and have a look with the editor.

I. selection of varieties according to production conditions

For high fertilizer and water plots, multi-panicle varieties with strong lodging resistance, short plant and strong tillering ability should be selected, or large panicle varieties with medium tillering ability, sturdy stem and short plant height should be selected. If it is a dry and barren plot, the middle yield varieties with good drought resistance, medium tillering ability and slightly higher plant height should be selected. If the sowing time is too early, the winter varieties should be selected, and if the sowing time is late, the semi-winter late-sowing and early-maturing varieties should be selected.

Second, select varieties according to yield

1. Cold resistance

There are three different types of wheat varieties: spring, semi-winter and winter, and autumn sowing wheat should have certain cold resistance, but it does not require that the cold resistance is better, as long as the local autumn sowing can survive the winter normally.

2. Disease resistance

The common diseases in the process of wheat growth are rust, powdery mildew, total erosion disease and so on, so when buying seeds, we should pay attention to his disease resistance.

3. Prematurity

Early maturity is an important condition for high and stable yield of wheat. Early maturity varieties can avoid or reduce some natural disasters, such as hot and dry wind and high temperature diseases during filling period.

4. Lodging resistance

Only by selecting varieties with strong lodging resistance can we further increase the yield and achieve high and stable yield. generally, the plant height is 70-85 cm in field production, and the lodging resistance of varieties can be divided into high resistance, medium resistance, relatively resistance and so on. Should be selected according to their own level of soil fertility.
