Sowing and propagation of apricot

Seed direct seeding

The pericarp of apricot is hard and thick, and the seeds are not easy to absorb water for germination. The germination time without treatment takes about 15-90 days. Therefore, in order to speed up the germination of seeds, the common method before sowing is to mix the seeds of apricot with 1-2 times of sand, grind them, soak them in warm water at 40 ℃ - 45 ℃ for 20 ~ 30 hours, and then place them in an environment of 25 ℃ for moisturizing and germination. Then wait until the seeds expand and crack slightly

If seed direct seeding is adopted, it is generally adopted in two ways: on-demand seeding or drill seeding. If the drill sowing method is adopted, the sowing row spacing is 50cm. After sowing, cover it with a layer of fine soil, and then start watering it, so it's OK

Seedling transplantation

If seedlings are raised and transplanted, they are generally raised in sunny border. The seedling raising method is basically the same as the drill sowing method, but there is no need to leave rows, and the whole border should be sown evenly. When the seedlings grow 7-8 true leaves and the temperature is stable above 12 ℃, they can be transplanted and settled. Seedling raising and transplanting can save seeds. It only needs 300 grams of seeds per mu. The transplanting plant spacing is 30 cm and the row spacing is 40 cm< span>
