Wheat planting and harvesting time

Winter wheat: sown in September and October, harvested in April and May of the following year (mainly south of the Great Wall)

Spring wheat: sown after the Spring Festival, harvested in August and September (mainly north of the Great Wall)

Winter wheat area in North China, is China's main winter wheat area, sown area of China's 47%, the total output accounted for 53% of China. General year winter wheat can be safely overwintered, greater than 0 ℃ cumulative temperature of 4100 ℃. Available for wheat, early and medium maturity corn of the two maturity. Water is a limiting factor in determining the sowing area. North of the Yellow River, a variety of areas on irrigated land, the Huanghuai Plain is a suitable area for dryland wheat, production potential.

The winter wheat area in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, 12.3% of the planting area, 45% of the total output. March-May light, temperature and water in the Jianghuai Plain is more coordinated. March-May precipitation is greater than 450mm of the area is unsuitable for planting wheat area. The region's wheat commodity rate is high.

Northeast spring wheat area, Heilongjiang, Jilin, low temperature, spring wheat is suitable.

Northwest spring and winter wheat area, irrigation and loess plateau area. In addition to the southern border is mainly spring wheat, winter wheat in the southern border, well adapted, high productivity, excellent quality.

Southwest wheat area, Sichuan Basin, Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau. Sichuan winter warm, warm water is suitable, but less light, serious diseases and insects. Plateau light is strong, low temperature during irrigation and maturity, favorable to high yield.

The Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau winter and spring wheat area, light, temperature and water with the favorable wheat growth, tasseling - maturity period of up to 50-80 days. Precipitation is insufficient, wheat is planted on watered land.

North China Plain wheat sowing season is generally early October, the fertility period of 230 days or so, the region's wheat maturity in late May to early June.

Northeastern region of wheat sown in mid-April, wheat response to light sensitive, short fertility, more in about 90 days. mature around July 20 around.

In addition, the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River plains wheat sowing in mid-late October to early-mid November, the fertility period of about 200 days, ripening in late May of the following year.

Generally speaking, winter wheat is sown in the fall and harvested in late spring and early summer of the following year; spring wheat is sown in the spring and harvested in the summer. North China is winter wheat, planted in September and early October each year. Next year's harvest in May, and the Northeast due to the colder climate is spring wheat, planted in March to April each year, harvested in September, which is the United States of America's agricultural specialization belt also formed a consistent feature, the United States has two pieces of wheat belt, the north piece of the farming system is similar to China's Northeast, and the south piece of the same with the country's North China.
