Wheat harvest is late, will it really reduce production? How to determine the harvest time?

Wheat harvesting is very particular. As the old saying goes, "Nine points are perfect, 100% is gained, 10% is lost", in other words, "90% is gained, 100% is guaranteed and 100% is lost". It's all about harvesting wheat, neither too early nor too late. Experienced farmers will control the wheat harvest time. Before the wheat harvest, they will go to the wheat field for a few turns every once in a while, rub the ears of wheat with their hands to look at the wheat bran carefully, or pinch the wheat kernels with their fingernails, so as to squeeze out the wheat bran, or just pinch out the nail prints to distinguish the maturity.

Wheat ripening has two complete processes, first wax ripening stage, and then complete maturity stage. In wax ripening stage, the germination rate of wheat seeds is the highest, in other words, the total output of wheat is the highest at this time. However, if wheat is harvested after the wax ripening stage, rather than at the full maturity stage, the seed emergence rate of wheat will decrease. At this time, compared with harvesting seeds at wax maturity, the yield will of course decrease. In addition, when the wheat enters the mature stage, all the stems wither, the grain volume becomes smaller, the water content decreases, and it presents a hard shape, which is not easy to crush when squeezed with fingernails.

Wheat enters maturity, which can be divided into milk maturity, wax maturity and complete maturity. Wax ripening period can be subdivided into three stages: pre-wax ripening stage, mid-late wax ripening stage and late wax ripening stage. In this case, the best time to harvest wheat is in the late stage of wheat wax maturity. At this time, it can be distinguished by analyzing the external performance of wheat. At this time, all the wheat plants are light yellow, and the stems still maintain some ductility. The appearance and color of the seed are the same as the original seed. You can pinch seeds with your fingers, and it's not easy to pinch out traces.

When the net weight of wheat bran becomes lighter, it will become larger, just like growing vegetables. This time belongs to the time when the net weight is large. Once it is perfected again, the net weight of vegetables and fruits will be lighter and lighter. The same is true of wheat, which will have the best maturity. At this time, the more round and net weight of wheat bran, the more wheat can be harvested at this time. As for how to determine the duration of planting, if the temperature is always good, eating a bite of wheat immediately feels very simple and the seeds can be harvested, which is also the best condition for planting.
