In which month is wheat usually harvested?

Spring wheat is generally harvested in July, and winter wheat is generally harvested in May-June.

Wheat is divided into spring wheat and winter wheat according to sowing date. The growth period of spring wheat is about 80-90 days. Generally, it is sown from late March to early April and harvested in the middle and late July. The growth period of winter wheat is about 230 days. Generally, it is sown 10 from the middle and late September to the early June every year, and harvested from the end of May to the middle and late June of the following year.

Wheat harvesting can be divided into manual harvesting and mechanical harvesting. In artificial harvesting, when the wheat is ripe, it can be harvested from the roots of plants with a sickle, so that an acre of land can be harvested in one day. But at present, most combine harvesters are used, with specialized technicians, which is fast and convenient.

After wheat threshing, the harvested wheat needs to be aired to evaporate water. If it is not aired, it is very easy to get moldy. When drying, you must choose a clean and stable venue, which can better facilitate people's labor. The bottom is covered with straw mats or plastic paper.

Growth process of wheat

1, sowing and seedling emergence

When sowing wheat, select high-quality varieties with full grains and plant them in the soil by drilling or on-demand method, with a depth of about 3-5 cm. After the wheat seedlings grow, check the seedlings to make up for the lack, pull out the wheat seedlings that are not growing well, cultivate strong seedlings, and irrigate them in dry soil or drip irrigation.

2, jointing gestation

Before the incubation period of jointing, wheat should be controlled according to its growth when it turns green. Weeds should be removed and water and fertilizer should be supplemented at the same time. The jointing incubation period is the most water-demanding stage in the growth stage of wheat, so as to ensure that the soil in the field is moist without water, and the water will be discharged in the rainy season.

3. heading and flowering

When the flag leaf of wheat wraps the young spike and grows a leaf sheath, it indicates that it has officially entered the heading and flowering period. At this time, we should not only ensure sufficient water in the field, but also do a good job in pest control to avoid the decline of crop quality caused by diseases, which will lead to seedling death in severe cases.

4. Mature harvest

After the flowering of wheat, all nutrients will be transported to the ears of wheat. At this time, the nutrients in the grain will begin to accumulate and precipitate, and the endosperm will gradually take shape. When the endosperm becomes waxy and the grain hardens, it enters the mature stage and is harvested according to the weather conditions.
