How to prevent excessive wheat growth? These cultivation measures are very practical

1. Compaction and deep tillage, controlling excessive growth and promoting sturdy growth. For excessively growing wheat fields, tools such as small stone rollers, wooden rollers, and cement cylinders can be selected according to local conditions for manual or animal-drawn compaction. Compaction should be carried out on sunny days when the dew has dried and the surface soil is dry. For fields with overly vigorous growth, compact multiple times in the same direction at an interval of 70 days. For fields with excessive sowing rates, thin the seedlings first and then compact. For drilled wheat fields, first hoe deeply (depth 6-10 cm) and then compact. The above measures can inhibit aboveground growth and promote root development.

2. Promptly remedy frost-damaged wheat fields. For wheat fields where the main stems and large tillers of wheat seedlings have already been killed by frost, immediately apply topdressing, with 5-10 kg of urea per mu, and apply it with water in moisture-deficient fields to promote the rapid growth of small tillers. Frost-damaged wheat seedlings must not have the frost-damaged stems and leaves cut off, nor should the frost-damaged dead leaves be pulled off, otherwise it will cause mechanical damage and make the yield reduction more severe. After wheat seedlings are frost-damaged, although the aboveground parts of the main stems and large tillers killed by frost have already died within a certain period, the root system can still continue to absorb nutrients, and the nutrients of the frost-killed main stems and tillers can also be transferred to the small tillers that have not been killed by frost.

3. Apply spring fertilizer well to prevent premature senescence. In frost-damaged wheat fields or excessively growing but not frost-damaged wheat fields, because wheat consumes more soil nutrients in the early growth stage, nutrients should be supplemented in the middle and late growth stages of wheat to prevent premature senescence. After the beginning of spring, apply jointing and booting fertilizer appropriately according to the seedlings to promote more tillers forming ears and larger ears with more grains and greater grain weight.

4. Strengthen publicity and technical guidance services. It is recommended that all localities use various media to increase publicity efforts, and agricultural departments at all levels should strengthen technical guidance services to ensure that the technical measures for controlling excessive growth and promoting sturdy growth are implemented by the relevant people and in the fields.
