Can the seeds of Sakyamuni fruit be planted? how can Sakyamuni seeds be planted?

Sakyamuni, also known as Annona, is a kind of fruit in the shape of Sakyamuni's bun, which mainly grows in the warm and humid climate of the south. Therefore, most of the people who are familiar with Sakyamuni fruit are concentrated around its producing area, but with the continuous promotion of Sakyamuni fruit in the market, the number of people and areas growing Sakyamuni fruit are gradually expanding.

Can the seeds of Sakya fruit be planted?

Sure. The seed planting methods of Sakya are as follows:

1. Wash the seeds and soak them in water, then submerge the seeds with water. Soak in water every day for 6-8 days until no impurities are seen.

2. Choose a basin-free vessel of appropriate size (or seal the hole at the bottom of the basin), put it into the culture soil full of nine percent, and spray some water on the surface to make the surface soil moist.

3. When planting, the bud point of the seed is facing down, and it is arranged neatly from the outer circle of the basin to the center. Sakya seeds have a smooth surface and are not easy to pick, so it takes a little patience.

4. Then use wheat rice stone or other small pebbles to spread a thin layer on the surface. Spray the pot back and forth a few times to make the soil and seeds completely moist. And then it's waiting to sprout. Remember to spray water once a day.

5. About three weeks later, the seeds broke through the ground and grew into seedlings.

How to plant seeds of Sakyamuni

1. Seed treatment of Sakyamuni fruit

Sakyamuni fruit is directly planted with seedlings, and the source of seeds is very important. The seeds should come from high-yielding fruits of good varieties (common Sakyamuni fruits), large and well-shaped fruits on high-quality mother plants, preferably fruits produced by artificial pollination of the same variety. When the fruit is fully ripe, the fruit becomes light green and yellow, and the suture line between the small fruits is obvious, the seeds are collected. As a grafted rootstock culture, seed collection can reduce the requirements. After the seeds are removed, wash them, remove the unfilled seeds and small seeds, dry them and sow them immediately. The seeds sown in the spring of the following year should be fully dried in the sun, and then placed in a polyethylene plastic bag and sealed.

Second, sowing time of Sakyamuni fruit

In the areas with high winter temperature, it is better for Sakya fruit to dry and sow after seed harvest from August to September, the germination rate of fresh seeds is higher, and the growing period of seedlings is long, which is beneficial to the cultivation of strong seedlings. In order to cultivate strong seedlings, the seeds can be soaked with 200 mg / kg gibberellin for 24 hours before sowing, and the seedlings can emerge 3 days ahead of schedule. Spraying 6 leaves of seedlings with 5000kg 6000 times foliar spraying can effectively improve the rate of strong seedlings. As Sakyamuni seedlings are sensitive to frost, autumn sowing seedlings should pay special attention to cold prevention and heat preservation. It is best to sow seeds in spring in other south subtropical regions. Generally, the local low temperature, overcast and rainy weather has passed, and it is better to sow seeds after sunny and warm.

Third, the sowing method of Sakyamuni fruit

The stored Sakya fruit seeds should be dried before sowing in order to promote germination. The nursery should choose sandy loam with good sunny drainage and fertile sandy loam, and the gentle slope flat land is the best. Before sowing, the nursery should turn the ground deeply for 1-2 months, then use rotten organic fertilizer and a small amount of lime as base fertilizer, break and mix well, and then repair the ditch. Strip sowing or sowing can be done, with seeds of 7 to 8 kilograms per mu. Cover with river sand or fine soil, slightly compacted and drenched with water to cover grass or plastic film, nursery bed pay attention to moisturizing, but also afraid of stagnant water, so we should also pay attention to prevent too much water, so as not to cause root rot. After germination, uncover the grass or plastic film to avoid bending the seedlings.

4. Seedling management of Sakyamuni fruit

1. Watering and fertilization: the seedling stage needs to be drenched once in about 3 days, once a day in case of drought, thin fecal water or 0 or 5% urea can be applied after 6-8 leaves, and then gradually increase the concentration. Potash fertilizer or compound fertilizer is also needed in the later stage of the nursery to facilitate the cultivation of strong seedlings. Weeding and loosening the soil should be done before fertilization.

2. pest control: there are few insect pests in the seedling stage of Sakyamuni fruit, but diseases often occur, especially root rot. Therefore, the seedling stage should pay attention to prevention and control, to prevent excessive shading and flooding, and pay attention to methyl thiophanate leaching prevention.

When will the fruit of Sakyamuni mature

Sakya produces in summer and autumn, with autumn as the main harvest season. The fruits of the harvest contain the hard sweat of farmers! During the cold and summer holidays, the children of the peasant family can be seen putting down their schoolbags and pruning the fields with pruning branches, so that Sakya can sprout at the right time, blossom, pollinate, and finally bear huge fruits.

The harvest of Sakyamuni fruit

The seedlings of Sakya fruit bear fruit 3-4 years after planting, enter the peak fruiting period after 6 years, and the fruit matures from late August to September. When the fruit is not soft and cracked, the color of the fruit turns slightly bluish yellow, and the skin appears slightly white, it can be cut off with a handle and harvested after harvest for 3 to 5 days before it can be eaten. The unripe fruit does not have commercial value because it cannot be ripened normally.

The seeds of Sakyamuni can be planted, but it takes a long time to grow from a seed to an adult tree, but it takes time to plant the tree to harvest the fruit, so as long as you wait patiently and plant it carefully, it will be rewarded.
