Healthy seeds are pledge of future successful harvest. For improvement of quality of seeds and acceleration of their germination there are various methods: soaking in growth factors, barbotirovaniye and so on. Disinfecting from phytopathogenic infections is not less important.
It is required to you
- Seeds of vegetables, growth factors, water, potassium permanganate, salt.
Instruction
1. The most elementary method of determination of viability of seeds: by means of salt. Make 5% salt solution. For this purpose dissolve 50 grams of salt in 1 liter of water. Lower seeds in solution. Sunflower seeds which will emerge on surface are not suitable for landing. Throw out them. And sunflower seeds which have fallen by bottom leave for landing. Surely consider seeds of cucumbers, pepper, tomatoes purely externally. Broken off, unnatural color and form, throw out the crumpled seeds. Leave only equal and smooth seeds of yellow or light brown colors.
2. For determination of viability of seeds it is recommended to couch them before landing. Spread out the selected seeds on gauze or the newspaper. Moisten them with water from spray. Put seeds in the warm place and periodically moisten them with water. Through two-three of days or week the seeds have to arise. You can couch seeds in sawdust. Under the influence of water, sawdust very strongly bulks up and creates effect of hotbed. It promotes fast germination. Terms of prorashchivaniye depend on specific vegetables. If you just wet seeds before landing to couple of hours, they will bulk up. However such method does not give exact guarantee of germination.
3. It is very important to disinfect seeds for the purpose of prevention of diseases and protection against wreckers. Often seeds are delivered from other countries and regions. This in itself can serve as the cause of different diseases. For disinfecting use 1% potassium permanganate solution. You keep seeds in liquid within half an hour, and later wash out and dry. Solution of potassium permanganate can paint seeds in bright brown color. Is it normal: just after soaking wash out them better.
4. To strengthen immunity of seeds, to increase their viability growth factors are used. The most widespread of them: Epin, Epin-Ekstra, Kornevin, Zircon. For mixing of mortar it is enough to dissolve 1-2 drops of medicine in 100 ml of water. Keep seeds of vegetable cultures in solution within 6-8 hours. Such soaking destroys various carriers of diseases on seeds and gives them additional energy for germination.
5. For various vegetable cultures different solutions for soaking are recommended. So, seeds of cucumbers, pumpkins, squash it is useful to ret in solution of microelements: pine forest, manganese, zinc, copper. On one liter of water there will be 0.2 grams of each substance enough. Ret seeds for 12 hours. Seeds of tomatoes, eggplants and pepper are tugovskhozhy therefore for them there is such method as barbotirovaniye. Pour in glass jar 1% solution of potash saltpeter. Nose piece of hose from the aquarian compressor place banks on bottom. Submerge seeds in bank only after turning on of the aquarian compressor. Periodically stir slowly seeds in liquid. Processing duration: 10-12 hours. The barbotirovaniye which are dried up later seeds are ready to landing.
