However, in the actual planting process, many farmers have also entered a misunderstanding in seed selection, and they all think that only seed companies can buy good soybean varieties.
Many farmers only listen to the exaggerated propaganda of dealers, thinking that only seed shops sell the purest seeds. They can't deny the advantages of original seeds, parent seeds and commercial seeds recommended by seed breeding departments with distribution qualification certificates, but they must also admit that the prices of really good seeds are ridiculously high.
For example, in the market where corn seeds are sold, hybrid corn seeds that farmers cannot reproduce by themselves have been sold by weight, not by grain. As long as you want to plant it, no matter how much it costs, farmers have no choice but to accept it, because you can't raise it yourself.
Soybean is different, because it does not belong to cross breeding, but belongs to self-pollination series, so some savvy farmers choose to breed themselves and keep their seeds.
The following three sisters will tell you how to breed soybean seeds at home. In fact, it is not difficult to cultivate soybean seeds. You just need to go to the regular seed sales department and select the original seeds that are suitable for local accumulated temperature planting and recognized by yourself.
Breeding method: Choose plots far away from other varieties. The cultivation method is the same as that of ordinary soybeans, but the management should be refined. For example, in geography, we must ensure that there are no weeds, abnormal flowers and special cocoons, and we must pull them out at any time to ensure that geographical plants bloom neatly and consistently, observe the growth of the field at any time, and ensure that they are not bitten by any pests.
When harvesting, it is best to choose manual harvesting, because mechanical harvesting is easy to cut beans and there are many damaged grains. There are a lot of explosive particles that can't be observed outside, and the surface looks good. Soak them in water for two petals.
Self-bred seeds should not be planted for more than three years, and it is best to change them once every two years, because they will degenerate after a long time. It is best to plant in different plots in turn, which is often called rotation.
Don't thresh in a hurry after harvest, because the beans are wrapped in a thick leather bag. If stored naturally for a long time, the plumpness of the seeds will increase, and the seeds will naturally reduce the moisture in the bean cocoon, thus increasing the storage safety.
After threshing, it should be stored separately after screening and placed in a dry and ventilated place. The water content should be controlled at no more than 10% to avoid the fear of getting wet and being eaten by rats. It should be stored in natural warehouses with north wind in cold areas and should not be mixed with fertilizers and pesticides.
To sum up, farmers with large planting areas should learn to breed their own seeds, and mastering this skill means reducing their investment in farming and using seeds safely. If you want to earn money by farming, you must learn many skills, so that you can be invincible forever.
