Many gardeners consider that seeds of carrots need no preparation before landing, they can be seeded at once on the prepared beds. However, in this case shoots will be or strongly thickened, or it is possible not to wait for them at all. With guarantee to receive harvest of excellent root crops, after all it is better to carry out some procedures.
Instruction
1. Approximately in 2 days prior to expected crops of carrots to the open ground carry out their prorashchivaniye. This reception not only will accelerate germination of plants, but also will provide them with necessary moisture in the first days therefore you will be able not to water landings. It is especially relevant for summer residents who not often are on the sites. Besides often water at dachas begins to be pumped later.
2. Wet seeds in water of room temperature for 12 hours. At the same time for all this time it will be necessary to change 3-4 times it.
3. After seeds bulk up, scatter them thin layer on plate or saucer. Cover all with damp cotton fabric.
4. Put plate to the warm place. Optimum temperature for prorashchivaniye of seeds of carrots - 20-25 degrees. Consider that the planting stock has to be always damp, but not wet. Periodically spray them from spray. The layer of seeds can be mixed carefully that they have been evenly moistened. However, when they will turn up, it is not necessary to do it any more as it is possible to damage thin backs easily.
5. You see off Prorashchivaniye within 2-3 days, during this time the bulk of planting stock has to have backs about 5 mm long. By this time the quantity of the sprouted seeds is from 20 to 40 percent. But it does not mean at all that the others will not sprout, viability of carrots about 80 percent.
6. If you wish to receive uniform shoots, then it is possible to carry out the following procedure. Carefully select seeds which have already sprouted. Put them in damp fabric, and then place all this in plastic bag and put on the lower shelf of the fridge. You store them thus before landing. Continue to couch other seeds.
7. There is one more easy way to prepare seeds for landing without preliminary soaking — barbotirovaniye. It is processing of seeds in the water saturated by oxygen. Reception increases viability of seeds of carrots several times, and the first sprouts will appear in week.
8. For this purpose the compressor for aquarium will be required. Place nose piece of hose on bottom banks and fill it on 2/3 water of room temperature. Turn on the device, and then lower carrots seeds in bank. Periodically carefully them stir slowly. Time of barbotirovaniye of seeds of carrots — approximately day. After that planting stock it is necessary to dry and start crops on beds.
