What date is suitable for planting wheat in October?

1October 8 to1October 23 is suitable for planting wheat.

In most wheat-growing areas, people often say: "White dew is early, the first frost is late, and cold dew is the time to plant wheat." This proverb has traditionally pointed out the best time to sow wheat. Judging from the climatic conditions and the growth characteristics of wheat, it is the most suitable time to plant wheat from June 8, 10 to June 23, 10, that is, from the National Day to the first first frost solar term. During this period, the temperature and ground temperature decreased, which was beneficial to the growth and maturity of wheat.

Sowing wheat in this period of time will make the root system of wheat stronger, and the ability of cold resistance and frost resistance will be stronger. However, some farmers often sow immediately after the autumn harvest, which is equivalent to sowing wheat in advance, which is not desirable. Although sowing by grabbing soil moisture can improve the emergence rate of wheat, because of sowing in advance, the temperature of wheat at seedling stage is higher, the growth rate is faster, it is easy to grow too vigorously before winter, and its cold resistance is weak, so it is easy to suffer from freezing injury.

In addition, the phenomenon of late spring cold is becoming more and more common, and the possibility of wheat freezing injury is also greater. Therefore, it is suggested that farmers who are used to sowing early should postpone the sowing date appropriately, so that the wheat sown in this way will have stronger cold resistance, thicker stems, stronger lodging resistance, fuller ears and higher yield than the wheat sown early.

Matters needing attention in planting wheat

1. Soil selection: Wheat is suitable for growing in fertile and well-drained soil. Choosing areas with moderate soil pH (usually between 6.0 and 7.5) is beneficial to the growth and development of wheat.

2. Sowing time: The sowing time of wheat varies with regions and varieties, usually in autumn or spring. Make sure to choose the right sowing time to make full use of weather conditions and suitable growing season.

3. Fertilization management: Wheat has a high demand for adequate nutrition. Before planting, carry out soil test to understand the nutrient content in the soil, and apply fertilizer reasonably according to the test results. Usually, an appropriate amount of organic fertilizer or chemical fertilizer is applied before sowing to ensure the nutrient supply of wheat.

4, pest control: wheat is prone to some pests and diseases, such as rust, scab, aphids and so on. Patrol the fields regularly, find out and take corresponding control measures in time, such as spraying pesticides or adopting biological control methods, so as to reduce the harm of pests and diseases to wheat.
