Millets are a group of highly variable small-seeded grasses,
widely grown around the world as cereal crops or grains for fodder and
human food. Millets are important crops in the semiarid tropics of Asia
and Africa (especially in India, Mali, Nigeria, and Niger), with 97% of
millet production in developing countries. The crop is favored due to
its productivity and short growing season under dry, high-temperature
conditions. In a 100 gram serving, raw millet provides 378 calories and
is a rich source (20% or more of the Daily Value, DV) of protein,
dietary fiber, several B vitamins and numerous dietary minerals,
especially manganese at 76% DV (USDA nutrient table). Raw millet is 9%
water, 73% carbohydrates, 4% fat and 11% protein. Yellow Millet,Hulled Yellow Millet,Yellow Organic Millet Seed,Organic Hulled Yellow Millet Ningxia Toyo Trade Co.,Ltd , http://www.toyogoji.com

Recently, a lot of Ailan people and readers, letters to inquire about how orchids conservation, now from a brief answer, introduced the orchid conservation "ten want" to readers. 1. Basin soil requirements: It is preferable to use a neutral acidic soil with high levels of humus, porosity, and drainage. The PH value is generally around 5.5 to 6.5. Ebony soil and “Xinghong†refined orchid plant material are used in Sichuan. It is more common to use orchid roots grown under the "root of bamboo mud" and the leaves of the forest in the mountains to cultivate orchids. 2. Place: Orchids can be kept outdoors and in the balcony in spring, summer and autumn, and require good ventilation, moist air, and no environmental pollution. It's good to be close to the pond and the riverside. At least the trees or the bamboo forest should be placed in the shade net to reduce the sunlight and reduce the temperature. Pots are best placed on wooden racks (or steel racks). If the floor is to be padded with bricks, the balcony of the home can also be made of tin on a small water table to increase the humidity. 3. Appropriate shading: Orchids are mostly semi-shade plants. Most species are afraid of direct sunlight and need proper shading. In mid-April, orchids can go to the net to open windows, and more to the sun to promote its growth. In addition to noon sunshine in May, according to 6 hours; from June, all-weather shading, after October, in addition to Zhongyang, can be fully open to conservation. Remember the slang: "Yinyeyehao is good, Yangyang is better". 4, a reasonable fertilization: orchids eat "prime", fertilization depends on the selected basin soil and growth may be. All those who grow lush and disease-free can be fertilized, and those with poor growth are not suitable for fertilization or a small amount of fertilization. Newly planted orchids that are not fully rooted need to be fertilized after 1-2 years. Generally from June to July when the orchid leaf buds elongate about 1.5 centimeters, a liquid fertilizer is applied once every three weeks (a concentration of about 10% is preferred). Do not use chemical fertilizers, such as fertilization in case of high temperature, and apply diluted fertilizer every two to three weeks from August to September. Each time fertilization of orchids should be carried out in the evening, pour water in the morning and call it "backwater". 5, appropriate watering: orchid watered with rain and spring water as well, tap water or Taomi Shui need to use overnight. When poured from the pot, do not pour into the pot. The amount of watering should be determined according to the temperature, the wet and dry degree of basin soil and the growth of bluegrass. Most of the leaves are poured, and leaves are less poured. From April to May, the sprouts are still unearthed. The pots and soils should be dry and the wet sprouts should be perishable. From June to September, orchid sprouts should be grown. The amount of watering should be increased. On sunny days, it should be watered once a day or in the morning. Do not pour at noon in the hot sun. water. In the autumn, when the amount of water is reduced, the foliar spray water can be used to keep the basin soil moist, and in the winter, the amount of water should be controlled, and it is appropriate to keep “80% dry and 20% wetâ€. 6. Spray in the evening: The orchid was originally grown in a humid environment, so in the dry season, besides the shade, it must be sprayed in the evening to increase the air humidity and lower the temperature; it can also be watered on the potted blue ground (table top). "A cold and hot" can stimulate the growth of orchids. 7, wind and rain: "February ghost wind" old leaf yellow back is a normal phenomenon, you can cut dead branches and leaves. Orchids can be light rain, but avoid mildew, heavy rain or continuous rain, or easy to rot, rotten leaves. In rainy season, sprinkle a small amount of ash. 8, pruning and picking flowers: In orchid culture, often cut off yellow leaves and diseased leaves. To facilitate ventilation. The precious orchids, if there are too many flower buds, only leave strong buds, and 1-2 buds per pot are appropriate. After half a month of flowering, Chunlan is removed. The rare orchids should be removed in 7 days, and the spring buds will grow vigorously and grow better in the coming year. When the last flower on the Xia Xia flower blooms for one week, cut it 3 cm away from the bowl surface. 9, cold and warm: orchids because of different varieties, different origin, not the same resistance to cold, so the winter time into the room and the location of indoor placement is not the same. Cold orchids, autumn orchids, and juvenile orchids grow in the south. They should enter the room (or close the window fence) at a temperature of 5°C, and should be placed as far as the south facing the sun. The spring and the zealand have strong cold resistance. They can enter the house until 0°C and can be placed in the northeast. Before and after no wind noon on a sunny day, open the window toward the south or southeast and pull the net to ventilate. Qilan is sunny at 1-2°C and cannot open windows. Of course there is a greenhouse, which can use electric heating. 10, disease prevention and pest control: basin soil is generally sterilized (solar exposure can also be) to prevent the occurrence of disease. Orchids are most prone to white fleas in the rainy and hot seasons. A small amount can be wiped off with a damp cloth. The amount of pots used can be 500-800 times more Bordeaux mixture or thiophanate-methyl, sprayed once every 7-10 days. Insect pests occur more often with scale insects (commonly known as "Lanhuo"), and they are sprayed once a week with 1% omethoate and 25% imidophos EC 1000 times. The palliatives should be treated at the root of the disease, and the pots and pans must be densely and appropriately placed at high and low levels to increase ventilation and reduce the occurrence of diseases.
