Seeds are often sown in summer and sterilized before sowing. Soak the seeds in warm hot water for 3 to 10 hours until the seeds absorb water and expand. Put the seeds in the substrate and order them at a distance of 3 × 3 cm. After sowing, the substrate was covered, and the thickness of the cover was 2-3 times that of the seed. After sowing, you can use sprayers and fine-hole showers to wet the sowing matrix, and later, when the basin soil is slightly dry, you should still pay attention to the watering strength not to wash the seeds up.

2. Seedling emergence management

After the seedlings are unearthed after sowing, the film should be opened in time, and the seedlings should be exposed to the sun before 9:30 every morning or after 3:30 in the afternoon, otherwise the seedlings will grow very weakly; after most of the seeds come out, you need to plant seedlings properly: pull out the diseased and unhealthy seedlings so that there is some space between the seedlings left behind. When most of the seedlings have three or more leaves, they can be transplanted into the pot.

The common diseases are blight, which can be susceptible to both seedling and adult plants. The disease occurred in the seedling stage, and the stem base showed dark green water-stained soft rot and quenching. Timely spraying or watering 50% metalaxone wettable powder 800 times solution, or 64% germicidal alum wettable powder 500 times solution. Cotton rot can occur in both seedling and adult plants. it occurs in seedling stage and dies due to stem base rot and constriction. At the initial stage of the disease, 72.2% Pulicol water agent 400 times solution, or 15% chlorpromazine (soil fungus elimination) 450 times solution was sprayed for prevention and treatment.
