How to remedy the excessive sowing of wheat

It's time for winter wheat to be planted, but what if some farmers respond to sowing wheat too deep? The suitable sowing depth of wheat is 3-5 cm. If the sowing is too deep, not only the emergence time of wheat will be prolonged, but also the phenomenon of weak and yellow seedlings will be caused. So can wheat be remedied by sowing too deep? Let's take a look.

First, the harm of wheat sowing too deep

1. The emergence of wheat seedlings will be affected, if the seed vigor is not strong, because the seeds are too high from the surface, can not break the soil, resulting in the phenomenon of lack of seedlings and broken ridges.

2. The situation of seedling weakness occurs, because the sowing is too deep, the wheat will consume too much nutrients when it emerges, so when it grows at the seedling stage, it will occur that the seedling will be weak and yellow.

3. Tillering decreases and plots that are too deep are sown. Because the emergence time of wheat is later than that of normal wheat, there will be a decrease in tillering in the later stage.

II. Remedial measures

1. Watering and fertilization

If it is a plot with good soil moisture, although the seedlings will emerge a few days later, but if foliar fertilizer is sprayed in time after emergence to supplement the nutrition consumed by the seedlings when they are unearthed, it will not cause much impact. If it is a plot with bad soil moisture, you can water the soil once, but we should pay attention to that the amount of water should not be too large, which can promote the growth of seedlings, improve the germination rate of seeds and make them germinate smoothly.

2. Rake the soil

In the past, many farmers would use this method to hold the soil on the surface of the sown field with bamboo rakes or other tools, so as to artificially reduce the sowing depth, but this method consumes a large amount of labor and is not suitable for large-scale planting.

3. Replanting in time

Wait until after the emergence of wheat seedlings, when it is found that there is a lack of seedlings and broken ridges, it is necessary to replant in time, sowing as shallow as possible, so that wheat seedlings emerge as soon as possible.
