When and how to plant red rapeseed?

Planting time of red rapeseed

The planting time of red rapeseed is between July and September every year, and August is the most suitable time to plant it. If it is sown too early, it will make it difficult to germinate, and if it is sown too late, its fruiting period and harvest period will be greatly shortened, thus affecting its yield and quality.

Planting methods and key points of red rapeseed

1. When sowing red rapeseed, you can choose fertile, loose, deep and well-drained soil. Before planting, the soil must be sterilized and disinfected to prevent diseases and pests from affecting its growth.

2. Soak the plump red rapeseed seeds in warm water so that the seeds can fully absorb water, and then place them in a warm and well-ventilated environment for germination. After the sprouts grow, spread the seeds evenly in the soil and then cover them with a thin layer of soil.

3. Before planting red rapeseed, apply base fertilizer to the transplanting soil. When its seedlings grow about 4-5 leaves, you can take out the seedlings and plant them in soil with sufficient base fertilizer.

Matters Needing Attention in Planting Red Rapeseed

When cultivating red rapeseed, you can choose fields with convenient drainage and irrigation, and then sprinkle well-rotted farmyard manure and compound fertilizer into the soil, which can provide it with a fertile growth environment.

After transplanting, water it once to keep the soil moist. During its growing period, water it once every seven days to increase its growth rate.
