For receiving good harvest of tomatoes, it is necessary not only to be able to choose correctly seeds, but also to be able to prepare them. For this purpose it is necessary to possess all necessary information.
Instruction
1. Begin preparation of seeds with hardening irrespective of in what climatic zone you live. If you correctly do this procedure, your tomatoes will well transfer fluctuations of temperatures (hot day and cold night). For this purpose it is necessary to influence seeds temperature. Wet seeds between two layers of damp fabric at the room temperature at 15-20 hours, and then for the night (6-8 hours) place them in the freezing chamber. In it there has to be temperature not below zero. In the afternoon get from the camera again.
2. Further pickle seeds disinfecting solution. Solution can be prepared independently. For this purpose it is possible to use 10-15% hydrogen peroxide or 0.1% potassium permanganate solution.
3. The next stage - barbotirovaniye. You need to mix several hours seeds in water which is enriched with air. Seeds from it will quicker bulk up and sprout. For this purpose put seeds in glass which on two thirds is filled with water. On bottom lower the end of tube, and attach other end to the aquarian compressor. Air constantly arrives to the bottom thanks to what seeds will be in the movement. As a result of such operation the germs of seeds are saturated with oxygen that increases their viability. After that dry seeds.
4. The last and most known way of acceleration of germination of seeds - soaking. For the best effect it is possible to use rain or melt water. Fill in seeds on two - three days so that water only slightly covered them, otherwise seeds can decay or choke. Use jar with cover that water did not evaporate. Instead of water it is also possible to use juice from leaves of kalanchoe or aloe. Seeds need to be kept in such liquid about day. As liquid for soaking you can use growth factor solution: 0.005% sodium humate solution (color of solution is similar to weak tea or beer), zircon or epinekstra (add 3-4 drops on 100 ml of water and leave seeds for 5-6 hours).
5. And finally, if you do not know what grade of tomatoes to choose, then is proved that pink grades of tomatoes are more valuable: they accumulate in themselves more pectin and vitamin C, than red. Also they contain more natural antioxidants – lycopene, carotene and selenium. The general content of useful substances in tomatoes depends on grade, the soil and humidity.
