If you have bought package of sowing material on which it is specified that seeds are processed, of them when landing it is necessary to arrive a little differently, than with the normal seeds collected from your bed in the fall.
Instruction
1. Today on sale there are several species of the processed seeds. They are divided by way of processing on inlaid, pellety and simply disinfected. The inlaid seeds – bright coloring, have almost real size. They are simply covered with protective layer of pesticides which protects them from diseases.
2. Pellety seeds have the form of small peas. Usually drazhirut very small seeds therefore these small peas too microscopic, but nevertheless time in two are larger than the seed which is inside. The cover dragee is designed to facilitate process of crops and too protects seeds from diseases.
3. If seeds have natural appearance and size, and their cover is covered with nothing multi-colored, but on package is written that they processed, so have processed them the disinfecting spray.
4. All three species of the seeds which have undergone processing cannot be retted before landing at all. They were specially inlaid and drazhirovat in order that they from the moment of swelling have begun adaptation to growth conditions, and this adaptation was least painful. Retting the processed seeds in water, you break protective layer and subject seeds even before emergence of shoots to various dangers.
5. The processed seeds have to be sowed by dry. Especially it concerns cucumbers. Other vegetable cultures more resistant. And even if you will destroy protective incrustation, 20-30 percent can survive and give sickly shoots. But with cucumbers - if you destroy protective cover, and weather right after crops will deteriorate, there is enough temperature reduction on 2-4os or incessant rain that they have died all.
6. Buyers ret the disinfected seeds which have normal appearance all the same in spite of the fact that they are already processed. There is a strong wish to prepare everything for crops. People do not believe that producers have already prepared everything and have taken care of everything for them. And the biggest mistake which is made by experienced gardeners with long standing – soaking of seeds at first in potassium permanganate, and then in normal water before swelling.
7. Potassium permanganate kills external microbes. You should not try to kill with it something in seed. Because if to wet dry seeds in saturated solution of potassium permanganate at least for thirty minutes, it is possible to kill only germ inside. Therefore at first seeds are soaked day in water. And then within twenty minutes keep in potassium permanganate and are washed with water.
