How to choose the appropriate soaking method?

How to choose the appropriate soaking method can be determined according to the following conditions.

• When the temperature and water temperature are low and there is no water temperature regulation facilities, we can choose to extend the water cut-off time of soaking water cut-off method, and increase the temperature of wheat layer by generating heat through the respiration of wheat grains, so that the wheat grains can germinate at the appropriate temperature. Spraying method can also be selected, but the spraying time should be shortened appropriately.

• When the temperature and water temperature are high and there is no water temperature regulation facilities, the operation method of soaking four and four and soaking three and six can slow down the accumulation of CO2 and heat caused by the vigorous respiration of wheat grains and shorten the soaking time. Spray method can also be selected, which has good effect and water saving.

• In the case of water temperature regulation facilities, the soaking method can be selected, but it should be noted that when the temperature is low, the soaking method with longer soaking time can be used, and when the temperature is high, the soaking method with longer soaking time can be selected.

• Under the conditions of thin grain skin, large grain size, loose endosperm section and high germination ability of barley, it is better to choose the soaking method with long water cut-off time, such as spraying method.

• Under the conditions of thick barley grain, more glass plasmids and slow water absorption, the soaking method with longer soaking time can reach the required soaking degree and ensure normal dissolution.
