How to plant oak seeds

Oak, also known as oak or oak, is a plant of the genus Quercus, a national tree of the United States. It is planted in the north and south of our country, and it has to be propagated with seeds, so how to plant oak seeds?

How do you plant oak seeds?

1. Seed selection and soaking

The oak seeds with high quality and full grains were selected for low temperature treatment. Wrap the selected seeds in a wet cloth, put them in a 5-degree incubator for germination, and wait 30-45 days to germinate.

two。 Land selection and preparation

Choose flat and sunny land to plant oak seeds, and do a good job of soil preparation, weeding, fertilization and watering before sowing. When the sowing rate is 100-250 kg per 667 square meters (1 mu), the seeds should be placed horizontally to facilitate the radicle to grow downward. The thickness of the covered soil is 2-5 cm, and the seedling height can reach 20-40 cm in the same year.

Generally keep in the soil one centimeter thick wet soil layer, not particularly dry weather, do not need daily irrigation, seedling management before unearthed, do not need more watering, to prevent the soil from hardening, resulting in seed decay or difficulty. Seedlings will emerge fifteen to twenty days after root-cutting and sowing.

3. Seedling emergence management

The height of oak seed seedlings enters a high-speed growth cycle, during which diseases and insect pests need to be removed, and what weak seedlings need is to make up for seedlings that are too dense, in order to damage the roots caused by air leakage. the density of seedlings should be maintained at about 60 to 80 square meters.

Oak seed planting must be of good quality, sowing time should also be suitable, so that the budding rate and growth will be good.
