Autumn sesame planting time and method, which month is best for sowing

Autumn sesame planting time

The best time to plant autumn sesame is in July in summer, but it can only be planted in the early and mid-July. If the temperature is relatively high this year, it can be postponed to late July depending on the situation, which can help increase the yield.

Planting methods and key points of autumn sesame

1. Seeding amount

The sowing amount of autumn sesame should be determined according to the sowing method. If it is broadcast sowing, sow 400g of seeds per mu; if it is row sowing, sow 350g of seeds per mu; if it is spot sowing, sow 250g of seeds per mu. If the soil is very suitable for the growth of autumn sesame, the survival rate will be relatively high, then the sowing amount can be appropriately reduced.

2. Sowing method

There are three main ways to sow autumn sesame: spot sowing, broadcast sowing and row sowing. When broadcasting, the seeds should be evenly spread out. The advantage is fast germination, but the disadvantage is that it is not conducive to field management. Row sowing can control the distance between seeds and is suitable for mechanized operation. The spot sowing method is to put about 5 seeds in each hole.

Precautions for planting autumn sesame

When planting autumn sesame, you need to pay attention to the fertilization technique. The base fertilizer should be mainly organic fertilizer, and add an appropriate amount of wood ash. Apply it shallowly each time. If it is acidic soil, some lime should be added to the base fertilizer. Fertilization in other stages, from flowering to peak bloom, should be done in the afternoon on sunny days, and apply every two days, which will help its growth.
