The booting stage of wheat is the key stage of wheat growth and development, and it is also an important period to determine the yield and quality of wheat. At this stage, wheat has a large demand for nutrients, so reasonable fertilization management is of great significance to improve wheat yield and quality. This article will elaborate on the fertilization technology of wheat booting stage, including fertilization time, fertilization method and precautions, etc., so as to help farmers better manage wheat planting.
First of all, let's understand the fertilization time of wheat at booting stage. The fertilization time of wheat at booting stage should be determined according to the growth and development process of wheat and local climatic conditions. In general, booting occurs in the spring, and the exact timing varies from region to region and variety. During the booting stage, the leaf color of wheat begins to turn green, the stalks gradually thicken, and the ears begin to differentiate, which is a critical period for fertilization. Farmers can determine the best time to fertilize by observing the growth of wheat and combining it with local climatic conditions.
Next, let's talk about the fertilization method of wheat at booting stage. In the booting stage, wheat has a large demand for nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, so compound fertilizers containing these elements should be selected for application. In terms of fertilization methods, furrow application or hole application can be used to evenly apply fertilizer into the soil to avoid direct contact with the root system of wheat. In addition, fertilization can be combined with watering to promote nutrient uptake and utilization.
In terms of the control of fertilizer application, farmers need to decide according to the growth of wheat and soil fertility. Generally speaking, about 20-30 kg of compound fertilizer can be applied per mu, and the specific dosage needs to be adjusted according to factors such as local climate, soil and wheat varieties. In the process of fertilization, it is also necessary to pay attention to avoid excessive fertilization, which can cause nutrient waste and environmental pollution.
In addition to the fertilization time and fertilization method, there are some precautions that need to be paid attention to by farmers. First of all, irrigation should be carried out at the right time and appropriate amount according to the growth of wheat field and soil moisture to ensure the normal growth and development of wheat. Secondly, in the process of fertilization, it is necessary to pay attention to the protection of the root system of wheat to avoid the direct contact of the fertilizer with the root system and cause burns. In addition, according to the growth of wheat and the occurrence of diseases and pests, timely control measures should be taken to ensure the healthy growth of wheat.
