Where is the oats producing area known as "plant gold"? Attached high-yield cultivation methods

Oats are a low-sugar, highly nutritious food with high nutritional value and are a relatively common nutritional tonic. In addition, they have strong drought tolerance, strong adaptability to soil, and can self-sow and reproduce. So where is the producing area of “plant gold” oats? Attached high-yield cultivation methods for oats!

I. Producing areas of oats

Oats are a globally cultivated crop, distributed in 42 countries across five continents, but the concentrated production areas are in the temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere. In China, they are mostly cultivated in the Northeast, North China, Northwest, Southwest, as well as Guangdong, Guangxi, and Central China, and are mainly planted in Inner Mongolia, Hebei, Henan, Shanxi, Gansu, Shaanxi, Yunnan, Sichuan, Ningxia, Guizhou, Qinghai, and other places, among which the planting area of the first 4 provinces and regions accounts for about 90% of the national total area.

II. Cultivation methods for oats

1. Soil selection and land preparation

Oats have strong adaptability and are not strict about soil requirements, and can grow even in barren and dry areas. However, in order to increase oat yield, it is suitable to plant them in soil with deep soil layers, flat terrain, and loose fertility. In addition, oats are not suitable for continuous cropping, otherwise pests and diseases will be more serious, which is not conducive to cultivation. Before planting, plow the soil deeply and expose it to the sun until white. Choose deep plowing or shallow plowing depending on the planting time. Generally, autumn planting uses deep plowing, while spring planting uses shallow plowing. After plowing, it must be harrowed finely, which can help preserve soil moisture and thus increase the survival rate of sowing.

2. Seed selection and treatment

Choose excellent varieties with strong adaptability, high disease resistance, and relatively high yield. In addition, when selecting seeds, also choose according to local environment, climate, soil, and other conditions. Select plump, large seeds for sowing, and remove small seeds and insect-damaged seeds. Before sowing, first put the seeds under the sun to expose them for 2-3 days, which can kill some pathogens, increase the germination rate, and also promote uniform seedlings. In order to avoid the impact of pests and diseases on growth and yield, some agents can be used to dress the seeds to prevent pests and diseases.

3. Sowing time

Sowing time has a relatively large impact on yield. If sowing is too early or too late, it will affect seed quality and is not conducive to germination. The best sowing time is March to April, around Qingming Festival, when the temperature and rainfall are both beneficial to seed germination. When sowing, pay attention to sowing density. If sowing density is too high, there will be too many seedlings competing for nutrients, which is not conducive to growth and development and causes reduced yield. When sowing, manual or mechanical furrowing can be used for drilling. Sowing should be uniform, and after sowing, harrow the land in time.

4. Field management

In order to achieve high and excellent yield, it is best not to use herbicides during the cultivation process, so the important part of field management is intertillage and weeding. When seedlings grow to 8-10 cm, carry out one intertillage and weeding to increase soil permeability, and use fertilizer and water to promote root growth. The second time is when they grow to the first node, weed once again, loosen the soil, and also strengthen fertilizer and water management. Fertilizer and water are key points for high yield. Watering and topdressing should be carried out according to the growth condition of oats. Each watering should be thorough, and fertilization should follow standards, and should not be excessive or too concentrated, so as not to cause damage to the plants.

The above is the introduction by Tuliu.com on the producing areas and cultivation methods of oats. When planting oats, attention should also be paid to the prevention and control of pests and diseases. Generally, there are more pests and diseases in the middle and late stages, and once pests and diseases are found, they must be dealt with in time.
