The latest technical methods and tutorial for increasing wheat yield and income are here
Wheat is a very common food crop in China, and its planting area in China is very large. The demand for wheat in China is usually second only to rice, so the market demand for wheat is also very large. When growing wheat, what growers care about most is certainly wheat yield. So how can wheat increase yield and income? Today, the editor brings you new technologies for increasing wheat yield and income. Let's take a look below!
1. Formula fertilization
When fertilizing wheat during cultivation, we need to do a good job of formula fertilization. Formula fertilization first requires testing the soil where wheat is grown, checking various values such as the content of organic matter in the soil, soil bulk density, and soil porosity. Then analyze it, strictly control the required amount of various elements according to the actual growth needs of wheat, and then determine the specific fertilization amount. Usually, when applying formula fertilization to wheat, the ratio of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium fertilizers is about 1:0.6:0.25. In addition, about 4000 kg of farmyard manure can be applied per mu to ensure healthy growth of wheat and increase its yield.
2. Seed soaking with fertilizer water
Seed soaking with fertilizer water can effectively increase the germination rate of wheat seeds, thereby achieving the goal of increasing yield and income. For seed soaking with fertilizer water, first control the fertilizer ratio and dissolve it in water, then put the wheat seeds into the fertilizer water to soak. Seed soaking with fertilizer water is very beneficial to the growth of wheat roots. It can increase area, advance tillering time, and the earing rate will also increase somewhat. Fertilizers suitable for seed soaking with fertilizer water generally include urea and compound fertilizer. During soaking, the time should be kept within 12 hours. If the soil moisture is poor and irrigation cannot be carried out in time, then seed soaking with fertilizer water should not be used, otherwise it is easy to cause seedling burn and seedling death.
3. Mixed sowing of varieties
Mixed sowing of varieties refers to mixing seeds of some different wheat varieties and sowing them together in the same plot. Mixed sowing of varieties can not only combine the advantages of each wheat variety together, but also cover up their weaknesses. It improves space utilization and is very beneficial to the adaptability of wheat and its resistance to pests and diseases. Thus it increases wheat yield and promotes high and stable yield. However, when mixing sowing, we should note that the sowing period and harvest period of the mixed varieties should be roughly consistent, and the difference in plant height should be kept at about 10-15 cm, which can improve aeration and enhance the photosynthetic capacity of wheat. In addition, the sowing ratio should also be controlled well. Reasonable mixed sowing can increase wheat yield by about 10%.
4. East-west row orientation planting
When wheat is planted in an east-west row orientation, its yield is about 10% higher than that of north-south row orientation planting. This is because when planted in an east-west row orientation, the root expansion of wheat is perpendicular to the row direction. It can effectively improve soil fertility utilization, enhance the root absorption rate of fertilizer, and improve the lodging resistance of wheat. From these aspects, the planting advantages of east-west row orientation for wheat are far greater than those of north-south row orientation planting, so when growing wheat, if you want to increase income and yield, then it is best to plant in an east-west row orientation.
The above is a brief introduction to the new technologies for increasing wheat income and yield. That is all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only, and we hope it can be helpful to everyone!
