Chickpeas, also known as chicken heart beans, pick beans, etc., originated in western Asia, is the main food crops in India, Pakistan and other places, due to the high nutrition, is known as "golden beans", "the king of beans". As early as 2000 years ago, China's Xinjiang region has been artificially cultivated, and in recent years, chickpeas have also been a "new" crop has begun to be promoted and planted on a large scale, and at present, China's Inner Mongolia, Shandong, Zhejiang, Henan, Yunnan and other places have been cultivated. Now briefly share its cultivation technology with you.
1. Fertilize the land
The planting of chickpeas should be fertile, drainage and irrigation is convenient for sandy loam planting, it is not easy to plant in heavy stubble and saline land, and it can be deeply ploughed and raked after selecting good land. After the preparation of the land, sufficient base fertilizer is applied, and the sowing amount per mu is about 10 kg. Generally, the seed fertilizer is applied in the ditch before sowing, the depth is about 8-10 cm, in order to avoid burning buds, the fertilizer needs to be 5-8 cm away from the seed, and calcium superphosphate can be applied per mu.
2. Planting time
It is generally selected to sow in the spring or autumn, and the best suitable sowing period is April 5-10. Agricultural film with a thickness of 0.01 mm and a width of 125 cm can be used. One mold and four rows, 1-2 grains per hole, sowing depth of 3-4 cm mechanical hole sowing, sowing density of 13500-15000 plants per acre.
3. Water
There is more rainfall before sowing and at the beginning of growth, and the temperature of the soil is more suitable for plant growth, so there is no need for watering. On the contrary, if the precipitation is relatively small, can not meet the water demand before sowing and pre-growth, it should be replenished in time, and the water demand during the formation period of 4-6 true leaves and pods growing in the plant is relatively large, and it must be watered in time to ensure high yield.
4. Topdressing
At the initial flowering stage, combined with the topdressing of urea 5 kg to 8 kg of cultivated soil mu, the peak flowering period should be applied once foliar fertilizer topdressing, mu topdressing spray 1 bottle of potassium dihydrogen phosphate 50 g to 100 g, add urea 50 g, add 15 kg of water for foliar spraying.
5. Weeding in medium cultivation
In order to improve soil permeability about 30-60 days after sowing, moderate tillage can be carried out appropriately, and weed growth can also be controlled. About 60 days after sowing, regular weeding should be carried out to ensure that there are no weeds in the field, which is conducive to the rapid growth of seedlings. The weeding process should be carried out manually, and it is important to remember not to use herbicides to weed, which will affect the growth of chickpeas.
6. Harvest and storage
Harvest in time when more than 70% of the pods on the plant are yellowish-white and the separation between the grain and the pod begins. After harvesting, it should be dried, threshed, and manually sorted. After clearing, the chickpeas are spread out to dry. Reduce its moisture content to less than 12%, and then fumigate it into the library for storage.
In general, chickpeas are an excellent variety of drought- and hunger-resistant spring crops with high yields and good returns. Its plant characteristics are more suitable for northern planting, so friends who have ideas to plant must master their cultivation management techniques.
