Proverbs about wheat sowing

In Shandong, it is cold in the morning and cold in the evening, and the autumnal equinox is the time to plant wheat. In Nanyang, Henan Province, the proverb is: cold dew comes early, beginning of winter comes late, and the first frost is the time to plant wheat, so the sowing time is still different in different places, and the specific sowing time needs to be grasped by farmers themselves!

Proverbs can only be used as a reference to guide the sowing time of wheat, which varies from place to place. For example, it is generally appropriate to sow in the early days of 10 in northern Henan, and in the late days of 10 in southern Henan, in Hebei, and in Shandong. Other wheat areas should be determined according to specific conditions.

Wheat sowing depends on the actual situation.

In fact, wheat should be planted in the right place at the right time and at the right temperature. Not if it's too dry. At the same time, according to the characteristics of different varieties of wheat, the time of planting should be considered comprehensively. In case of warm winter, wheat may grow vigorously, and there are many pests and diseases such as red spider, and weeds are difficult to control. Therefore, in this case, late sowing is appropriate.

If the drought is severe and the soil moisture is not good, it is recommended to sow after the rain. Most areas are facing drought this year, and it is difficult to germinate because of poor soil moisture. Even if the seedlings germinate, they will not grow well. Therefore, it is recommended to sow wheat after rain in most areas this year.

Many farmers said that they must broadcast it late this year, but not too late. Sowing too late, the seedling rate is low, and it is difficult to resist the cold winter. In the coming year, the growth may not be very good, and the growth period will be shortened. The wheat harvest may be delayed for several days, which will inevitably be affected by dry and hot winds.

Seed dressing is recommended.

When sowing wheat, it is suggested to use conventional seed dressing agent for seed dressing, which is beneficial to the prevention and control of diseases and insect pests and also to strong seedlings. It is suggested to use seed dressing agent to control pests and diseases.
