Sesame is planted in the farmland, and sesame blossoms are getting higher and higher. What kind of weather can this crop adapt to for high yield?

Sesame, as an ancient species, is also a major oil plant, which is widely planted in many areas. Sesame is easy to grow, and it is not strict with the environment. For example, people who grow sesame seeds here scatter some sesame seeds in some fields, ditches and ridges, and make use of the growth characteristics of sesame seeds, which means that there can still be a bumper harvest in autumn. But because the output of sesame is very small, it is very large in our field.

There is a saying that planting sesame seeds is called: coarse millet and fine sesame seeds, that is to say, when planting millet, we should pay attention to sowing it densely, while when planting sesame seeds, it is just the opposite, and it is better to plant sesame seeds thinly. Don't plant sesame seeds too closely in pursuit of high yield, it will be counterproductive. Not only will there be no good harvest, but it will also lead to the phenomenon of close planting and reduced production. It is very important to grow sesame seeds.

Sesame likes dry environment, and it is a relatively drought-tolerant crop, which is also the main reason why villagers like to plant sesame in some slopes, ditches and fields. The water requirement of sesame is much lower than that of field crops, and it only needs to be watered in particularly dry years, so it is a typical drought-tolerant and waterlogging-tolerant oil crop. When planting sesame seeds, drainage facilities should be unobstructed to avoid abundant water in rainy season.

In the past, sesame seeds were planted by ourselves, and some sesame seeds were reserved for next year. Over the years, this method of seed retention will also cause serious seed degradation, uneven emergence, slow growth and slow harvest. Only by selecting excellent sesame varieties for planting can we have a good growth momentum and a good harvest.

Sesame should be in a high-yield environment, sunny, warm and relatively dry during its growth. This kind of environment and climate is very beneficial to the growth of sesame, but it is extremely unfavorable to the growth of sesame in some rainy days and long-term sunshine. In addition to environmental factors, fertilizer and water management is also the main reason for sesame harvest.

Although sesame is very resistant to poverty and drought, it also needs sufficient water and fertilizer supply in the growth process to thrive and produce more. Sesame, a common crop, also has a good moral. Just like our life and sesame, sesame blossoms. Do you grow sesame seeds in your rural hometown?
