Buckwheat is a relatively common plant. It is autumn now, its flowering period. The buckwheat in the countryside has bloomed beautiful flowers. Some friends do not know that this plant is called "buckwheat". I thought they were just flowers and wildflowers, so I didn’t pay much attention to them. In fact, the nutritional value of this kind of plant is very high, and it is very common in the market. Nowadays, it costs about 3 yuan per pound. Many people grow it, and the profit is still objective. So let’s follow Xiao Ju to learn how buckwheat is grown and managed!

1. Sowing buckwheat

The time for sowing buckwheat can usually be planted in spring, summer, autumn and winter, so it can also be divided into spring buckwheat, summer buckwheat, autumn buckwheat and winter buckwheat. It is recommended to sow in spring, and in the south it is recommended to sow in spring and autumn. Before sowing, the field should be plowed to make the soil more loose and breathable. Ditches can be dug for drainage to make the soil better drained. Weeds should be cut or sprayed to remove them to make the nutrients more concentrated.

After plowing the ground, you can sow. However, it is recommended to choose high-quality seeds, so that the survival rate will be higher. Chrysanthemums are generally selected with a breeding period of 70 to 80 days and are more resistant to disease. powerful. Before sowing, put the buckwheat seeds in the sun for 1 or 2 days, then soak the seeds in warm water for about 12 minutes, take out the full grains, let them dry, and then sow them for 1 day. . When sowing, scatter buckwheat seeds evenly on the soil and cover with a thin layer of soil.

2. Buckwheat planting management

During the growth period, you can topdress appropriately. If there is farmyard manure, you can use farmyard manure. If it needs to be mature, you can use potassium dihydrogen phosphate during the flowering period. Spray to promote growth and flowering and avoid flower drop due to lack of nutrients. I would like to remind everyone that the fertilizer used cannot use potassium chloride, otherwise it will easily induce leaf spot disease and make the plants grow longer and worse.

Buckwheat likes to grow in warm and humid places. If it does not rain for a long time and the soil is too dry, artificial watering can be done to replenish the water. The rest of the time, you can wait for the rain and dew to sprinkle and absorb it. During the flowering period of buckwheat, attention should be paid to preventing insect damage and spraying regularly with pesticides.

Okay, the above is the daily management. If you plant buckwheat, you should pay attention to improving photosynthesis and ensuring sufficient direct light!
