When is the wheat harvest season?

Wheat is harvested from mid-July to late August. Generally, the wheat in the north is mature, and the harvest is completed from mid-July to late August. In the northernmost Daxinganling region, wheat ripens in mid-August at the earliest and in early September at the latest. The northern region is cold, and wheat can't survive winter, so spring wheat can only be planted. Spring wheat is generally sown from south to north from Qingming to mid-May. Generally, the best period of artificial harvest is the end of wax ripening, when the dry matter accumulation of wheat grains reaches the peak, so it is the best period of artificial harvest with good quality, high yield and complete physiological maturity. Take out the wheat grains and draw them with your fingers. If they are waxy, it means that the wax maturity is 2-3 days earlier than the full maturity.

To say where the wheat produced in China is the best, it is Hetao wheat produced in Hetao Plain, Bayannaoer City, Inner Mongolia. Hetao wheat is one of the three high-quality wheat in the world, with high protein and gluten content and excellent farinograph index, tensile index and sedimentation index, and is known as five champion wheat. Bayannaoer is located in the golden zone where crops are planted at 40 degrees north latitude, with long illumination time and large temperature difference between day and night. In addition, there are fewer meteorological disasters and pests in Hetao area than in the whole country, which is very suitable for the formation of wheat yield and quality. Known as "granary beyond the Great Wall, human kitchen".

Xiping wheat

Xiping wheat is a specialty of Xiping County, Zhumadian City, Henan Province. Xiping County, located at the northern end of Huaibei Plain, has a long history of planting wheat. It is one of the main wheat producing areas in China. In 20 19, the Ministry of Agriculture of China approved "Xiping Wheat" to register and protect the national agricultural geographical indications. Xiping County, its birthplace, is located in the transition zone from subtropical zone to warm temperate zone, and belongs to the continental monsoon semi-humid climate. The local soil layer is deep and fertile, and now it is a field with good harvest due to drought and flood. And it is located in the rain-fed area in southern Henan. Since ancient times, there has been a saying that the wheat harvest is "83", which is very important for the wheat quality in Xiping. Xiping wheat is characterized by large and full wheat kernels, thin, bright and transparent skin, full horniness, low embryo rate, dark red (red) or white (yellow-white) wheat kernels, and good commercialization.
