Planting method of camphor seeds

In late February and early March of each year, seeds with full particles, color and no disease damage are selected, soaked for two days, and then buried in wet pits for germination. After germination, the seeds are evenly spread on the plots prepared and fertilized in advance, and then watering and weeding are done. Generally about a month camphor seed seedlings can be unearthed, at this time to build shade shed, to prevent exposure.

Seed planting matters:

1. seed selection and germination

Strict seed selection is very important. Seeds with full particles, color on the surface, no diseases, insect pests and damage should be selected. The quality of seeds determines the emergence rate and the final survival rate of seedlings. In addition, in the early stage of sowing, it is best to soak the seeds for two days and soften them. The coating is then removed and wet stratification is applied. Bury seeds in moist, airy pits to help them germinate and whiten.

2. selective seeding

It is advisable to select sandy loam with deep soil layer, slightly shaded and sheltered rice stubble field as nursery land. Harrowing lightly after ploughing and whitening in early winter, ploughing three times and harrowing twice before sowing in late winter and early spring, applying manure of 1.5-2 tons or cake fertilizer of 25-50 kilograms per mu and harrowing evenly as base fertilizer. To open shallow furrow drilling, row spacing 20-25 cm, per mu seeding rate 10-12.5 kg.

3. seedling tending

After the seedlings emerge, remove the mulch in time to avoid seedling yellowing. When seedlings grow 2-3 true leaves, thinning is carried out. Do early seedling, stage seedling, timely seedling, according to 7 cm plant spacing seedling. The healthy seedlings should be planted separately to save seeds and improve the emergence rate. After planting, pay attention to shade and watering maintenance to ensure survival.

Cinnamomum camphor seeds are generally mature in October of each year, you can choose spring or autumn sowing. The former is suitable for early spring soil thaw, the latter can be sown, the current use of spring sowing for more, but also for the best.
