Do white quinoa seeds have a good market prospect?

What is the prospect of planting quinoa seeds?

The magic of quinoa is not only that it is rich in various nutrients needed by human beings, but also that quinoa, as a plant, has a high-quality protein which is close to the composition of human amino acids, which can reduce the input of aquaculture to feed, pens and manpower, reduce the occupation of cultivated land by farms, reduce the pollution of animal manure to the environment, and reduce the impact of diseases carried by livestock and poultry on human health. It is the golden key to solve the contradiction between insufficient food supply and limited cultivated land, human nutrition demand and environmental pollution (destruction), sustainable agricultural development and energy saving and emission reduction in the process of rapid development of human society. It plays an irreplaceable role in promoting food safety, food nutrition and even three rural issues, and is one of the potential crops.

What are the planting methods of quinoa seeds?

1, preparation before broadcasting

① plot selection

When planting quinoa, we should choose ridges and secondary terraces with high terrain, abundant sunshine, good ventilation and good fertility at an altitude of 2500~3500 meters. It is strictly prohibited to plant in floodplain and furrow with dark and humid conditions and poor ventilation and lighting conditions. Red clay or red sand is the best soil in this land.

② Rotation and stubble cleaning

Quinoa is not suitable for continuous cropping. Continuous cropping is a serious disease with many weeds, which consumes a lot of soil nutrients and is easy to cause fallow. Therefore, it is easy to get a good harvest of quinoa by choosing reasonable rotation and stubble replacement methods. Soybean and potato are better than corn, sorghum, sunflower and castor, and the rotation cycle is at least two years.

③ Fine soil preparation

Quinoa is planted in dry slope area, so it is very important to improve the utilization rate of rainwater. In early spring, when the soil has just thawed, the temperature is still low, and the evaporation of soil moisture is slow, the base fertilizer is applied to realize the integration of soil and fertilizer and forcibly store water. Before sowing, rake every time it rains, so that the top is empty and the bottom is solid. When it's dry, just rake it, not plow it, and compact it.

The type of fertilizer should be sheep manure fermented at high temperature, followed by farm organic fertilizer. It is forbidden to use chemical fertilizers, including inorganic fertilizers, such as phosphorus nitrate. Before sowing, base fertilizer should be applied in combination with deep ploughing and soil preparation at one time. Generally, farmyard manure is the main ingredient. If phosphate fertilizer and farmyard manure are mixed to make base fertilizer, the effect is good. It is best to apply base fertilizer in autumn or early spring.

The period when topdressing plays a great role in increasing yield is the booting stage before heading 15 ~ 20 days, and it is generally appropriate to use pure nitrogen of about 5 kg/mu. When there is more nitrogen fertilizer, "fixed embryo fertilizer" is applied at jointing stage and "grain fertilizer" is applied at booting stage. In the late growth stage of quinoa, spraying potassium dihydrogen phosphate on leaves can also promote flowering, fruiting and grain filling.

Step 2 sow seeds

① sowing date

Generally, the sowing date should be around mid-May (temperature 15℃-20℃). According to the weather forecast, sowing should be done two days after rain or before rain. Don't sow too early, so that the flowering period of millet can avoid rainy days.

② sowing amount

The dosage per mu should be 0.3-0.4 kg. There are about 9000- 10000 seedlings left.

③ Sowing depth

The sowing depth is about 1-2 cm. Too deep is difficult to sprout, and too shallow is not conducive to drought resistance and lodging.

④ Sowing method

Generally, seeds can be sown by rotary sowing or by newly developed precision rotary sowing. The row spacing is about 40-50 cm, and the plant spacing is about 25-30 cm.

3. Tian Tuan management

① Seedling management

Check and replenish seedlings.

After the emergence of quinoa, it is necessary to check the seedlings in time. When missing seeds or broken ridges are found, reseeding measures should be taken: first, soak the seeds in water for 3-4 hours, take them out with a wet cloth, cover them with a wet cloth, place them at 20-25 degrees Celsius, seal them for more than 10 hour, and then furrow them for reseeding; Second, for a few seedlings with broken ridges, when the leaves are 4-5.

Spacing and fixing seedlings

After the emergence of quinoa, we should interplant seedlings as soon as possible and pay attention to weeding. When the seedlings grow to 10cm, thinning should be carried out, and more seedlings can be reserved appropriately. When the reserved seedlings grow to 20-30cm, the second thinning should be carried out, and the reserved seedlings should be planted in reasonable density.

Intertillage weeding

This is the key to cultivate strong seedlings. The growth of Chenopodium album seedlings is slow, and the grass shortage is taboo. Intertillage should be combined with thinning. It is necessary to master shallow hoes, fine hoes, broken soil blocks and surrounding seedlings, so that the depth is consistent, the grass is clean and flat, and the seedlings are prevented from being injured and pressed. In case of heavy rain after intertillage, the hardening should be broken when the topsoil is slightly dry after rain.

② Mid-term management

At the age of 8 leaves, check the weeds, diseased plants and residual plants in the row to improve the uniformity, so that the feet of the seedlings are neat and ventilated.

Deep ploughing/farming/culture

Quinoa entered a vigorous growth stage from jointing stage. With the increase of temperature, the growth rate of stem is accelerated. After ridge cleaning, deep intertillage should be carried out, and part of lateral roots should be cut off to promote the development of root system, control the growth of basal nodes, make the stems strong and prevent lodging in the later stage.

Pull out all the grass between rows, cultivate root system, promote the growth of neck and secondary roots, enhance the supporting ability of plants, and help prevent lodging in the later stage.

③ Late management

In the mature period, we should guard against the harm of sparrows and harvest them in time to prevent the ears of grain from being worn and threshed by the wind and causing losses. Remove impurities and bad ones. In order to ensure the high quality of organic quinoa, diseased ears and miscellaneous plants must be removed before harvesting.
