The sowing time of wheat depends on the planting area. The sowing time is not consistent in different areas, and the harvesting time is also different. The area south of the Great Wall mainly grows winter wheat, which is generally sown between September and October each year and harvested between April and May of the following year. The area north of the Great Wall mainly grows spring wheat. It is usually sown between March and April after the Spring Festival and can be harvested from August to September of that year.

1. When to sow wheat

The time to sow wheat depends on the region. The area south of the Great Wall mainly grows winter wheat, which is generally sown between September and October each year and harvested between April and May of the following year. The area north of the Great Wall mainly grows spring wheat. It is usually sown between March and April after the Spring Festival and can be harvested from August to September of that year.

2. When to harvest

If the winter wheat grown south of the Great Wall is sown between September and October, it can be harvested from April to May of the following year. If the spring wheat grown north of the Great Wall is sown after the Spring Festival, it can be harvested from August to September of that year.

3. Sowing method of wheat

There are three main methods of sowing wheat: drill sowing, broadcast sowing and hole sowing. The seeds sown in drills fall more evenly, and the depth of soil covered is more consistent. After the seedlings emerge, the seedlings will be more competitive. In the later stage, you will find that the wheat drilled by drill method has better ventilation and air permeability, which is convenient for mechanized management.

The broadcast method is mainly used in areas with wheat-cotton intercropping or rice-wheat rotation. In these areas, the soil is relatively sticky and heavy, and soil preparation is difficult. Therefore, the broadcast method is suitable for sowing, which can save time and labor. The seedlings produced by this sowing method have a better nutritional area per plant, but the depth of the seeds in the soil is inconsistent.

The hole sowing method is also called on-demand sowing or nest sowing, and is used in rice stubble and wheat fields. This method of sowing is more concentrated in fertilizing, so the seeds are sown at the same depth, and the seedlings emerge more confidently, which is conducive to management. The disadvantages are that it is labor-intensive, the distance between holes is large, and the number of seedlings is relatively small, which will affect the final yield.
