Planting conditions of yellow millet in Qinzhou

In the process of millet growth, the amount of land water should be reasonably controlled in the middle and late stage, and too much water will lead to the death of millet plants. Therefore, the land should be carefully selected before planting millet. The area where millet is planted should have the characteristics of good ventilation, good drainage and high terrain, and the soil layer of the land should be rich in organic matter and easy to cultivate.

Soil preparation is an important work before planting millet. After the previous crop is harvested, in order to maximize the fertility of the land, base fertilizer should be applied to the area where millet will be planted before the early spring of the following year. If compound fertilizer is applied, the dosage is 30 kg per mu. In the process of soil preparation, it is necessary to ensure that the ground is flat and there are no large clods.
