When is the wheat cut?

Wheat harvest is usually carried out in summer and autumn, but different regions, climate, weather and other factors are the factors that cause different wheat harvest time.

For example, the harvest time in Sichuan Province is from April 20th to May 25th. The harvesting time in Shaanxi Province is from May 22nd to June15; The harvesting time in Hubei Province is from May 8th to the end of May. The harvesting time in Henan Province is from the end of May to the middle of June.

Wheat is one of the three major cereals, almost all of which can be eaten, and only about one-sixth of which is used as feed. The two river basins are the earliest areas for growing wheat in the world, and China is one of the earliest countries for growing wheat in the world.

Extended data:

The seeds that are not ripened have strong heat resistance. As long as the seed temperature does not exceed 50 degrees in a short time, the germination rate of wheat seeds with water content above 16% will not decrease. The heat storage of wheat seeds is based on this principle.

However, the heat resistance of wheat seeds that have been ripened is obviously reduced, and the germination rate of seeds will be affected if treated at high temperature. Therefore, the seeds of Sanyi wheat with physiological maturity and high water content should be dried in the sun, not at high temperature, and not heated for storage.

Wheat seeds have strong hygroscopicity, high hygroscopicity rate and easy to absorb water in the air, especially when the air humidity is high, the water content of seeds will increase.
