When is the wheat flowering period?

The flowering time of wheat varies. Generally, wheat is sown in March-April in spring and flowers in mid-June, requiring 2-3 months. Winter wheat is usually sown from August to December in autumn and flowers in May of the following year, requiring more than 5 months. Wheat flowers generally last about a month, with individual flowers blooming for only 10-20 minutes. If the flowering period is hot and dry, it is necessary to water in time.

Wheat flowering period

Wheat is a grass family plant and is widely cultivated in the world. The history of wheat cultivation in the Two Rivers area is long, and China is also one of the earliest countries to cultivate wheat.

Caring for wheat during the flowering period

Main field management during the wheat flowering period includes preventing and controlling scab and millet bugs. In some areas, it is necessary to water in time due to drought to maintain soil moisture, but avoid waterlogging as it can affect flowering. It is also necessary to provide adequate light for maintenance.

Watering during flowering

If the wheat flowering period encounters a hot and dry environment, it is necessary to water in time, but not too much, as it can affect wheat fertilization and seed setting. It is best to water in the evening or before 8 a.m. If it rains continuously for several days, it is necessary to drain the field to reduce humidity and prevent scab.

Fertilizing during flowering

During the wheat flowering period, the absorption and utilization rate of nitrogen and phosphorus change slightly, while the absorption and change of potassium are relatively large. Before the wheat turns green, its growth is slower, and the demand for nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium fertilizers is relatively low. From jointing to flowering, the absorption of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium is higher. Therefore, applying sufficient base fertilizer and timely top-dressing, especially at the jointing stage, is key to high wheat yields.

Pruning during flowering

Wheat does not require pruning during the flowering period, as the flowering period is short. After the flowers fade, wheat begins to heading and setting seeds, so it is only necessary to wait for the wheat flowers to fall off naturally.

Post-flowering wheat care

After the wheat flowering period, it is possible to apply a moderate amount of nitrogen and potassium nutrients to make the leaves green and improve late photosynthetic production, ensuring grain filling and increasing grain weight.

The above sharing of methods for determining when the wheat flowering period is can be used as a reference suggestion.
