Will wheat sprout after winter begins?
Beginning of winter solar term is the first solar term in winter. After winter, the temperature drops obviously, and many places in the north will also have snowfall. In some areas, after the solar term in beginning of winter, the temperature dropped significantly. If wheat is sown again, it may not germinate because of the low temperature. In some places, even in early winter, the daytime temperature is still above 20 degrees, and the daily average temperature exceeds 10 degrees. At this temperature, wheat can still germinate.
To sum up, wheat can still be planted in beginning of winter, but there are certain requirements, which are determined according to the local subsequent temperature. There is no obvious cooling for about a week, and the temperature can be 15-20 degrees, which does not affect the emergence of seedlings. However, there has been a cooling in the local area, and it will be dominated by low temperature for some time to come, so the sowing will be suspended first. If the low temperature lasts too long, it is not recommended to sow wheat again.
Matters needing attention in planting wheat
1, land selection and preparation
Choosing suitable plots is the primary task of planting wheat. Wheat likes to grow in sunny, well-drained and deep fertile land. Farmers should give priority to choosing soil without pollution, pests and diseases, and avoid choosing continuous cropping land or soil with high salt content.
Before planting, the soil should be tested to understand the pH value, organic matter content and nutrient level of the soil. According to the results of soil testing, rational application of organic fertilizer and chemical fertilizer can improve soil fertility. Wheat has a high demand for nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, so farmers can apply suitable compound fertilizer according to soil nutrients to ensure the nutrient supply of wheat at seedling stage and growth stage.
2. Variety selection
The selection of wheat varieties directly affects the yield and quality. The climate and soil conditions in different regions are suitable for different types of wheat varieties. For example, winter wheat is suitable for planting in cold areas, and spring wheat is suitable for planting in warm areas. When choosing wheat varieties, farmers should consider the local climate, water and soil resources and choose varieties with strong adaptability and good stress resistance.
