There are four main differences between winter wheat and spring wheat. The planting areas are different. Spring wheat is mainly planted in the area north of the Great Wall, and winter wheat is mainly planted in the area south of the Great Wall. The planting and harvesting times are different. Spring wheat is planted in spring and harvested in autumn, while winter wheat is planted in autumn and harvested in summer. The characteristics are different. Spring wheat is more resistant to drought, has short plants, large ears, short growth period but slightly poor quality; winter wheat is more resistant to cold and has higher quality. The climate in the planting areas is different. The spring wheat planting areas have cold winters, while the winter wheat planting areas have slightly warmer winters.

1. The difference between winter wheat and spring wheat

Cultivation areas: The planting areas of spring wheat and winter wheat are bounded by the Great Wall. Spring wheat is grown in colder places north of the Great Wall, and warmer areas north of the Great Wall. The one in the middle is winter wheat.

Planting and harvesting time: Spring wheat is planted north of the Great Wall. It is usually sown between March and April after the Spring Festival, and then harvested from August to September of that year. Winter wheat in areas south of the Great Wall is generally sown between September and October of the following year and harvested between April and May of the following year.

Personal characteristics: Spring wheat is relatively drought-resistant, and the plant type is relatively short but The ears are large and the growing period is relatively short, but the quality is worse than winter wheat and not as delicious as winter wheat. Winter wheat has strong cold resistance, so it can be sown in October and its seedlings can survive the winter. In spring, its seedlings can quickly tiller and grow up. The quality of winter wheat is very good and the flour produced is delicious.

Climate of the planting area: Spring wheat is planted in places with very cold winters. Because the temperature in winter is too low to sow, it must be sown after the beginning of spring. Winter wheat is sown in relatively warm places. It is relatively cold-resistant and can survive the winter. It can be sown in winter and harvested in summer.

2. The origin of winter wheat and spring wheat

< p>China's wheat is mainly grown in the north. Winter in the Northeast is very cold, so it can only be sown in spring after the temperature begins to rise. The wheat sown at this time is called spring wheat. The growth cycle of spring wheat is relatively short and the harvest time is relatively early. The winter temperature in North China is slightly higher and wheat can survive the winter safely, so sowing in this area can be done in winter. Therefore, what is sown in spring is spring wheat, and what is sown in winter is winter wheat.
