種稷 【附姜稷】: 稷性宜下濕之地。 二月中旬耕地, 以木斫【所訖羅】熟治。 自三月上旬至四月上旬, 皆可種。 種法與種黍粟同, 或撒擲種亦得。 田若塉薄, 用糞灰, 【熟糞與尿灰也。 下倣此。】 或先布雜草於畝間, 後耕種。 鋤至二度。 ○稷亦有晩種早熟者。【鄕名姜稷】 兩麥底六月上旬可種。	14

Korean Translation

피(稷)의 성질은 저지대에 습기가 많은 곳이 적합한데, 2월 중순에 땅을 갈고 목작(木斫) 향명(鄕名)으로는 소흘라(所訖羅)이다. 으로 부드럽게 다듬는다. 3월 상순부터 4월 상순까지 언제나 파종할 수 있다. 파종법은 기장․조[黍粟] 파종법과 동일하다. 또는 종자를 뿌리는 방법[撒擲]도 괜찮다. 밭이 척박하다면 분회(糞灰) 잘 삭힌 거름과 뇨회(尿灰)이다. 아래도 이와 같다. 를 사용하며, 경우에 따라 우선 이랑 사이에 잡초를 깐 뒤에 갈아서 파종한다. 김매기는 2번 한다.

피(稷) 역시 일찍 익는 만종(晩種)이 있다. 향명(鄕名)으로는 강직(姜稷)이다. 양맥(兩麥)의 바닥에 6월 상순에 심을 수 있다.

English Translation

Barnyard grass is well-suited for low and wet lands. The soil (should be) plowed in the second ten days of the second (lunar) month and well-prepared with a mokchak known as soheulla. It is possible to sow any time from the first ten days of the third month to the first ten days of the fourth month. The sowing method is the same as that of proso and foxtail millet. Alternatively, scattering the seeds is also fine. If the fields are barren, use bunhoe (abbreviation for) aged manure and urinated ash. (This abbreviation will be used) in the following sections, as well, or alternatively, first spread chopped weeds between the ridges prior to plowing and sowing. Hoeing (should be done) at least twice.

Barnyard grass, too, has a late-planting quick-ripening variety known as gangjik. (This late-planting quick-ripening variety) can be sown at the latest in the first ten days of the sixth month when double cropping with barley.
