Cultivation techniques of millet

Millet, formerly known as chestnut rice, was planted in a large area in ancient times, and with the development of agricultural technology, millet has also developed a lot of varieties. With the strengthening of people's awareness of health preservation, the market demand of millet is also increasing, so how to grow millet? Come and have a look with the editor.

1. Soil preparation and fertilization

Should pay attention to crop rotation, it is not appropriate to continue to plant millet in the previous crop, so as to avoid serious diseases and insect pests, and soil preparation is needed before sowing. Deeply turn the soil, improve the soil structure, enhance the soil water retention capacity, deepen the plough layer, is conducive to millet root system, conducive to plant growth, so as to effectively increase the yield, at the same time, it is necessary to apply sufficient basic fertilizer, generally with phosphate fertilizer plus mature farm manure.

2. Soaking seeds to accelerate germination

In order to select the excellent varieties with strong disease resistance and treat the seeds before sowing, we can choose to dry the seeds in sunny days and soak them in warm water for one day to fully soften the shell by absorbing water. After that, seed dressing with new high-fat membrane can effectively avoid underground insect pests and isolate virus infection, not only will not affect seed germination, but also strengthen respiration and improve seed germination rate and seedling emergence rate.

3. Seedling stage management

In the emergence of 2-3 seedlings, then timely inspection, once found that the whole seedling phenomenon to concentrate on replanting, at the same time determine the seedling in time to ensure that the density is reasonable. The seedlings were fixed in 5-6 leaves and sprayed with new high-fat membrane. This can effectively prevent the aboveground water evaporation, the seedling water does not transpirate, isolate the harm of diseases and insect pests, and make the seedling growth strong. Weeding should also be done diligently, and attention should be paid to watering in times of drought so as not to make it dehydrated for a long time.

4. Field management

Pedal seedlings to promote strong, ploughing and weeding, timely watering, reasonable topdressing, all of these work can not be less, spraying growth regulators in flower bud differentiation to improve the quality of pollen fertilization. Millet is extremely prone to diseases and insect pests such as smut and red spiders during the growing period, so it is necessary to spray targeted pesticides in time according to plant requirements, mixed spraying of new high-fat film can greatly improve the utilization rate of pesticides, and the control effect is better.
