Pepper - culture which is "slowly playing"". To help seeds to pass quicker germination phase, they can be wetted, stimulated, tempered. As well as in what it is better to make it?
The end of February - is a high time to seed on seedling pepper sweet in midland. Pepper has ""nerve"" to sprout sometimes very long. Therefore experienced gardeners before seeding seeds from bags, process them previously.
Sorting of seeds
Black, puny and broken seeds reject at once.
If seeds are enough in bag, then they are submerged in salt solution (in liter of water dissolve one-two tablespoons of food salt) for 10-15 minutes. The emerged (empty) seeds are thrown out. Fallen by bottom, seeds - heavyweights, wash with water and further sow.
Prevention from diseases
Seeds of pepper process from viral and fungal diseases by immersion them in 1% potassium permanganate solution for 20-30 minutes then wash out in flowing not cold water.
Infusion of ashes, seeds and flowers of calendula, extract from aloe will also help to secure seeds against diseases.
Stimulation of shoots
Help to accelerate germination of seeds of pepper epin, zircon, humate, energen, krezatsin, fitosporin. So, zircon ""forces"" to ascend even very old seeds, sub-standard seeds. And krezatsin and humate not only increase viability, but also accelerate growth of seedlings further. It is important that preparation of solutions was according to the instruction. After processings always seeds should be washed with water.
Prorashchivaniye of seeds
The useful and checked mode of work with seeds not only pepper, but also the majority of cultures. As a rule, not all seeds from bag ascend. Therefore it is better to couch them on the damp tissue put on superficial pallet or saucer.
The saucer is placed in plastic bag that moisture remained, and seeds did not dry up, then - to the warm place with temperature not lower than 25 wasps. As soon as there are white sprouts, at once seeds sow in in advance prepared friable nutritious earth. It is not desirable to use damp fabric. In it often seeds sour and rot.
Such reception as hardening, experts do not approve. But some gardeners carry out training of seeds within week, influencing them low variable temperatures, 2-5os. But many hesitate on such preseeding processing.
