Sowing time and Management of Barley

Barley is one of the main food crops in China, which is planted all over our country. The nutritional value of barley is very high, although it is not a staple food, it also has a great market demand. Therefore, there are still a lot of people growing barley, and we need to do a good job of management when planting barley. We should not only pay attention to the sowing time, but also need to do a good job of management. Then let's take a look at the sowing time and management of barley with the editor.

1. Sowing time

The sowing time of barley is usually in August-September, that is, autumn. It is common for barley to be planted in China, although it is usually sown in autumn. However, because the climate is different from the regional environment, the specific sowing time will also be different. For example, in Hebei and other provinces, most of them are sown in autumn. But if it is in provinces such as Qinghai, it should be sown from March to April. Due to the influence of climate, the temperature difference between day and night is different, and the time of sowing and ripening is different. Therefore, when sowing, we should pay attention to timely sowing according to the local climate, environment and soil.

2. Fertilization management

When growing barley, fertilization is very important if you want barley to be high-yielding. First of all, we need to apply sufficient base fertilizer, the base fertilizer is mainly farm manure, about 3000kg per mu. With the right amount of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer. Among them, phosphate fertilizer should be used as a kind of fertilizer, and it should be applied all at once. Topdressing is mainly carried out according to the growth stage of barley, such as tillering fertilizer, booting fertilizer and so on. The amount of fertilizer used should be properly controlled according to the actual growth of barley and soil fertility, and should not be fertilized too much to avoid fertilizer damage.

3. Water management

In addition to doing a good job in fertilization management, we should also pay attention to water management. Barley waterlogging and drought tolerance are relatively poor, although like the wet environment, but afraid of water stains, and also afraid of drought. Therefore, the water management of barley is also very important, when watering, we should also water reasonably according to the growth of barley. For example, seedling emergence water, tiller water, booting water and so on. After filling the wheat field thoroughly, if the barley field produces stagnant water, then we should also pay attention to timely elimination of stagnant water to avoid more water retting the roots and affecting the growth of barley.

4. Prevent lodging

Barley is more prone to lodging, so we should also pay attention to the prevention of barley lodging. Generally, barley is very easy to lodge after heading. First of all, we should pay attention to control the planting density of barley, not too close planting. Control the sowing rate per mu of land, do a good job in fertilizer and water management, and appropriately increase the application rate of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer. However, it should be noted that the application of nitrogen fertilizer should not be excessive, and barley should be harvested at the right time when it enters the late stage of wax ripening. Harvesting should be carried out on a sunny day to ensure yield and quality.

This is a brief introduction to the sowing time and management of barley. That's all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only. I hope it can help you all.
