How long is the growing cycle of spring wheat?

Spring wheat growth introduction

The main spring wheat producing areas are Heilongjiang, Hebei, Tianjin, Xinjiang, Gansu and Inner Mongolia, and the main topographical areas are the Northeast Plain.

Spring wheat growth cycle

Spring wheat is sown in March and April, matures in July and August, and has a short growth period of about 100 days. The optimum temperature for its growth is between 16 and 18 degrees, and the germination temperature is between 8 and 16 degrees.

Spring wheat growth rate

Spring wheat is usually sown in March, sprouts in April, grows vigorously from May to August, and matures in September. The growing period is about 100 days.

Spring wheat growth cycle management

The per-acre yield of spring wheat is between 800 and 1,000 jin, and the growth period can be divided into: seedling stage, tillering stage, growth stage, heading stage, filling stage, and maturity stage.

Temperature management : The temperature of spring wheat during the temperature sensing stage is relatively high and the reaction range is large, which is 5 to 20°C. The temperature sensing time is short, which is 5 to 15 days, so spring sowing can produce heading normally.

Fertilization tips : Apply top dressing fertilizer to spring wheat when the seedlings begin to turn green to promote spring tillering and increase the number of ears. Applying fertilizer during jointing can significantly reduce the number of degenerate spikelets and degenerate florets.
