Chapter 124 Spring Plowing and Sowing

After witnessing the opening of the cement road in Sujia Village, Murong Ye said goodbye and left, returning to the capital!

Cement roads in other parts of Yun'an County are still being poured in full swing, and villagers have returned to normal life after experiencing the snowstorm...

Su Qing's shop is now open! Everyone is busy every day!

The river opens in July and September, and swallows come in August and September. As the weather gets warmer, it is almost the spring season in March. March is also the time when swallows come back. The returning swallows begin to carry new mud to the eaves of villagers' houses to build new nests.

The earth begins to come back to life, and everything begins to sprout and grow, signaling the start of a new year and the beginning of the cycle of life. It also symbolizes the hope and rebirth that spring brings, and foreshadows a brighter future for life and nature.

Silently, thousands of buds fill the branches overnight. Raising seedlings, planting, admiring flowers, and enjoying outings... the vibrant spring air greets everyone, and hope is nurtured in the busy hands of labor. Everywhere you look, there are smiling faces, and vitality is everywhere.

Su Qing started flying her helicopter again, delivering sweet potato and potato seeds to each village! She also delivered some high-yield rice seeds! After two days, she finally distributed all the sweet potato and potato seeds!

Su Qing also asked the village chiefs to arrange a few skilled farmers to come and learn how to grow high-yield rice! As well as how to grow sweet potatoes and potatoes!

After the villagers from each village arrived, Su Qing began by teaching everyone how to grow high-yield rice! First, soak the rice seeds and wash them twice a day until they germinate! Once the rice seeds sprout, they begin preparing the seedling beds. They plan out the dry fields, then dig indentations into each small plot. Then, they cover the plots with a layer of tarpaulin and spread about ten centimeters of soil over the tarpaulin. Then, they water the soil thoroughly, sowing the germinated seeds onto the soaked soil! Then, they sprinkle a thin layer of soil on top, cover with straw, and wait for the rice seeds to grow into seedlings!

It takes about 7-10 days for rice seeds to grow into seedlings. Under suitable temperature and humidity, the embryo inside the rice seed begins to germinate, and tender roots and shoots emerge from the seed coat. The seedling stage lasts about 4-5 days, after which the plant gradually transforms into a rice seedling, with the main stem growing, leaves gradually unfolding, and branches beginning to appear.

The growth process of rice can be divided into several stages:

Seedling stage: It takes about 35 days from seed germination to transplanting.

?Transplanting period?: It takes about 7-10 days from the beginning of transplanting to the beginning of growth.

Tillering period: It takes about 30 days from the beginning of growth to jointing after transplanting.

Jointing period: It takes about 15 days from the beginning of jointing to ear formation.

?Augmentation period?: It takes about 15 days from the beginning of ear formation to the beginning of heading.

Heading period: It takes about 15 days from the beginning of ear emergence to the beginning of shell breaking and flowering.

Flowering and pollination period: It takes about 15-20 days from the beginning of flowering to the beginning of grain filling.

?Filling period?: It takes about 20 days from the beginning of filling to maturity and harvest.

Rice growth is influenced by many factors, including temperature, sunlight, water content, and soil nutrients. The optimal temperature for growth is around 25 degrees Celsius; temperatures too high or too low can affect growth and development. Different rice varieties also grow at different rates, with some growing faster and others slower.

Su Qing explained the method in detail to each village head and villager who came to learn! The village heads and village representatives from each village also learned very seriously! Su Qing also asked them to come and ask questions or learn more at any time if they encountered any problems during the planting process!

“Next I’m going to talk about how to grow sweet potatoes!

If you want a high yield of sweet potatoes, you must first raise seedlings. There are several key points in raising seedlings! Everyone should record them well!

"Yes, Princess! I will definitely record everything!"

"Uh-huh!"

“The sweet potato seedling period takes about 45 days.

How to cultivate sweet potato seedlings so that they can germinate quickly and grow vigorously!

"First, we must wrap the sweet potato in a bag before we start raising it," Su Qing demonstrated. "Then, after 3 to 5 days, when we see a few sprouts, we'll bury it in the soil and pour some water over the roots. After 5 to 7 days of continuous watering, we'll see the sweet potato seedlings emerge and thrive."

Remember not to put the sweet potato seeds directly into the ground and cover them with soil. If you do this, the sweet potatoes may not sprout for a long time, and some may even cause the sweet potato sprouts to rot and stop growing!

Therefore, the cultivation of sweet potato seedlings is also very critical! The cultivation of sweet potato seedlings requires skills.

After the sweet potato seedlings are grown, they can be transplanted when they are about the length from wrist to elbow, or when they have five to eight leaves.

One sweet potato seedling can produce 3 to 10 kilograms of sweet potatoes!

There are four things to pay attention to when transplanting sweet potato seedlings: First, when transplanting sweet potatoes, cut off half of their roots and retain half of the root system, so that more new roots can grow!

The second point is that the sweet potato seedlings should be planted at an angle when transplanting.

The third point is to pinch off the top.

The last point is very important. We should raise the vines of sweet potatoes every two weeks to rob them of nutrients! Generally, we only need to raise them three to four times during planting!

It takes about 90-150 days for sweet potatoes to bear fruit after being planted!

The 20-60 days after transplanting sweet potatoes is a critical period for tuber formation. During this period, the sweet potatoes develop their root systems and grow stems and leaves, laying the foundation for subsequent tuber formation. Scientific fertilization and management during this period can effectively promote tuber formation and increase yields.

The entire growing period of spring sweet potatoes is 160-200 days, while the growing period of summer sweet potatoes is shorter, approximately 110-120 days. During this period, the sweet potatoes go through stages such as rooting, seedling development, stem and leaf growth, and tuber expansion.

Measures to promote sweet potato tuber formation:

?Scientific fertilization should be carried out within 20-50 days after transplanting sweet potatoes to ensure adequate nutrient supply.

"Control the growth of stems and leaves": During the tuber enlargement period, properly control the growth of stems and leaves to avoid excessive growth and consumption of nutrients.

"Strengthen field management": including timely irrigation, weeding and prevention of pests and diseases to ensure the healthy growth of sweet potatoes!

That's it! That's it for growing high-yielding sweet potatoes!

What questions can you ask me?"

"Thank you for your hard work, Princess! Not yet! We may encounter problems during the planting process! I will bother you again then!"

"Well, let's start talking about the potato planting process!"

The timing and method of growing potatoes vary depending on the region and climatic conditions.

春季一般在3月种植春土豆,6月至7月收获;8月种植秋土豆,10月至11月收获。
