When is the right time to sow barley?

Barley is usually sown in August-September in autumn, but the sowing time will be different in different places. The main barley producing area in China is in the barley area south of Huanghuai, which is usually sown in autumn, while the bare barley areas in Qinghai and Tibet will be sown in spring, so it is necessary to sow in time according to the local climate.

Barley sowing method

Select high-quality barley varieties, such as Minmai No.2, Duff 1 and Duff No.2, select full seeds with good color before sowing, remove diseases, shriveled seeds and rotten seeds, and choose sunny days 1-2 days. Choose plots with flat terrain, deep soil layer and fertile land for planting, and the heavy metals in the soil should not exceed the standard.

Specific methods:

1, the first thing to grow barley is to choose seeds. You must choose the seeds harvested that year. Storage for too long will affect the germination rate of seeds, which should not exceed 2-3 years. Selecting varieties with full seeds and good quality is the premise of obtaining a bumper harvest.

2. In order to obtain high yield of barley, it is necessary to treat the soil before sowing, level the land, intensively cultivate it, keep the soil fertile and apply base fertilizer, which will be beneficial to the germination and growth of seeds after sowing.

After we have prepared the farmland, we will start sowing formally. What needs to be reminded here is that we must pay attention to the size of sowing. Seeds should not be buried too deep, otherwise it will affect the emergence effect, generally not more than 2-3 cm.

4. Generally, after the heading of barley, if it encounters bad weather, it is easy to lodging, so it must be planted reasonably close, and the sowing amount should not be too large.
