Seed soaking method

Some seeds need to be soaked in cold or warm water before sowing to make the seeds absorb water and expand, and they can germinate early after sowing; Some seeds need only be sprayed with warm water before sowing, so that the seeds can be wetted evenly, dried in the shade and sown

Usually small seeds can be sown after soaking in cold water for 3-5 days; Seeds with thick seed coat need to be soaked in warm water at about 45 degrees for 3-5 days. The seeds of Robinia pseudoacacia, peach, plum and apricot should be scalded with hot water

Specific operation

Put the seeds into the jar and pour in hot water at about 85 degrees. The amount of water is 2-3 times the volume of the seeds. Stir while pouring water to make the seeds heat evenly, and then let the water cool naturally. After that, wash it with warm water of 45 degrees every day for 1-2 times, and sow it after the seed "cracks its mouth"

Stratification budding method

This method is very effective for seeds with long dormancy and slow germination. The selected sand should be washed clean. The humidity of the sand should not drop water in the hand and not spread when the hand is released. Store the wet sand and seeds in layers in a low temperature environment of 0-5 degrees. When the seeds have slight signs of germination, they can be sown

Wax and oil removal method

This method is used for seeds with waxy or greasy skin

Specific operation

Soak the seeds in 70 degree plant ash water or the mixture of water and alkaline surface, rub off the wax or oil after cooling, wash them with clean water, pick them out, use the method of sprouting beans, and sow when the seeds "crack their mouths"

Skin breaking method

If the seed coat is very hard, the seed coat can be cut to promote germination

Sun border budding method

Fill the hotbed with fine sawdust or wheat bran, with a thickness of 10cm, spread it flat, pour it thoroughly, and evenly sow the treated seeds. After sowing, cover about 1 cm of sawdust, spray water to wet the sawdust, and then cover it with film. The seeds can be taken out and sown by "splitting the mouth", or they can be transplanted after the seeds grow buds and seedlings< span>
