Tutorial on the Latest High-Yield Cultivation Techniques for Hulless Barley

Hulless barley is a cereal crop, also known as naked barley, yuanmai, or rice barley. It is mainly produced in China's Tibet, Qinghai and other places, and is the staple food of the people of Tibet. When planting it, if you want to increase its yield, you need to address it from multiple aspects. Below, let's take a look together with the editor at the high-yield cultivation techniques for hulless barley.

1. Land preparation

Land preparation is a very important part of the hulless barley cultivation process. Especially after harvest, deep weeding of the planting land is needed. For spring sowing, shallow ploughing should be carried out so that the plot does not affect the growth of hulless barley and so that the hulless barley can grow more easily. If it is autumn sowing, the sowing time is best chosen half a month after the autumn harvest. When ploughing, diseased plants should be cleaned up in time. Autumn planting also requires deep ploughing, at least 20 cm or more. This can effectively eliminate weeds and pests, and it can also play a certain role in cold protection. At the same time, it can better maintain soil fertility and reduce the impact of autumn drought. At the same time, according to the specific conditions of the plot, the land can be made into beds or ridged. After land preparation, insect killing and sterilization should also be carried out once, so as to reduce the base number of pests and diseases as much as possible.

2. Sowing

Before sowing, varieties with good traits should first be selected. They have strong adaptability and can survive under harsh climatic conditions. At the same time, the seeds also need to be dried. Adding seed coating during sowing can improve the survival rate of the seedlings and can also prevent them from being attacked by pests and diseases during growth. In high mountain areas, sowing is generally chosen in mid-to-late April, while in semi-high mountain areas it can be sown in mid-March. The sowing depth is generally about 5 cm. Too deep or too shallow is not conducive to seed germination.

3. Fertilization

When fertilizing, mixed fertilization techniques should be used according to actual conditions. First, before planting, mix organic fertilizer evenly and seal it for about 7 days. Compound fertilizer must contain nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, these elements beneficial to the growth of hulless barley. Generally, only 400-500 kg of fertilizer needs to be applied per mu. When hulless barley is heading, nitrogen fertilizer is no longer needed at this time, as it may cause late maturity. In the later stage of growth, the root system gradually ages and its absorption capacity declines, making premature senescence very likely to occur. Therefore, foliar fertilizer should be applied in time to supplement the nutrients needed by the plant, promote root growth, and effectively extend leaf function.
