Lentil is a common vegetable in daily life. It has a crisp flavor and rich nutrition. It is favored by consumers. Lentils have a long history of cultivation in China, and there are many cultivars. According to the pod color can be divided into white lentils, green lentils and purple lentils.

The climate in each region of China is still slightly different, so the planting time must be early and late. However, in general, we can sow seeds in the middle of January every year, but transplanting and planting can start after the middle of February. It should also be noted that lentils are planted near the Yangtze River Valley in the summer months of May to July, while in northern China they are sown in June. In other words, we can't sow randomly, or it will affect the seedling rate and later yield of lentils.

Although lentil diseases are relatively rare, they should not be taken lightly. It can be spray dried and has low toxicity. Even in the absence of disease, disease is preventable. During the growing period, seedlings need more nutrients. Therefore, they need to be watered once or twice during the growing period and every ten days during flowering and podding. Before pod formation, use some agricultural fertilizer such as chicken manure, which can be a small amount of fertilizer. As the soil is fertile at the time of fertilizer application, it is easy to breed weeds, so weeds should be removed regularly to prevent some fertilizer nutrients from being absorbed by weeds.

Seeds should be purchased through regular channels, such as two kinds of wholesale markets, and then soaked in warm water for 1 day, removed and dried. Seeds can be sown directly without germination. When sown on seedbeds. When sowing on seedling trays, cover with fine soil after sowing. If the thickness is not uniform enough, the uniformity of seedling emergence will be reduced, which will have a great impact on later transplanting. Cover with plastic sheeting after sowing to prevent frost or low temperatures from affecting seedling emergence. When seedlings have not broken the ground, do not open the cloth on the arch shed for ventilation. After the seedlings break the ground and germinate, you can do a little ventilation and watering. Control temperatures so that seedlings grow to 10 cm as quickly as possible for transplanting and planting. During lentil flowering, if the weather is cloudy and rainy, we need to pollinate by hand. After the rain, we can shake the main vines of lentils by hand to help them pollinate, which is a good way to increase the yield.
