How to accelerate the germination of the latest towel gourd seeds

Towel gourd is a very popular melon vegetable in summer, which has a very large planting area in our country. The planting technology of towel gourd is relatively simple, the yield is high, and it can be harvested many times. However, when we plant towel gourd, we first need to do a good job of seed germination and improve the germination power of seeds in order to achieve the goal of increasing production and high yield. So how do towel gourd seeds sprout? Let's take a look at it with the editor.

1. Seed treatment

First of all, we should soak the towel gourd seeds in water at room temperature for about 4 hours. After soaking the seeds, put the seeds in warm water of about 52 degrees and keep the water temperature for about 18 minutes. Then remove the seeds and wash them with clean water, which can effectively eliminate the bacteria on the surface of the seeds. After soaking the seeds with water, soak the seeds with Sukeling and other chemicals. First soak in clean water for about two hours, then put Sukeling in the water and soak in 10. Then take it out and wash it clean, mainly to improve the disease resistance of towel gourd and prevent from being disturbed by diseases such as Botrytis cinerea.

2. Sprouting method

Solution sprouting

There are many ways to accelerate germination of towel gourd seeds, the most common of which is the use of solution. After selecting high-quality seeds, we soak the seeds in solutions such as gibberellin. However, we should pay attention to control the concentration, keep it at about 0.1%, and then control the soaking time at about 15 hours. After soaking the seeds, take out the seeds, then wash them, dry them, and then sow them directly, which can effectively shorten the seed germination time and achieve the purpose of accelerating germination.

Warm water to promote germination

When using warm water to promote germination, we should first cut off part of the germination part of the towel gourd seed. When cutting, we should be careful not to hurt the seed embryo of the seed, otherwise it will be counterproductive. After cutting, put the seeds in warm water of about 50 degrees and soak for 15 hours. Promote the seeds to absorb enough water, then remove the seeds and put them on a wet cloth. Keep the wet cloth moist every day until most of the seeds sprout. Then sow the seeds into the soil prepared in advance, and when sowing, you should pay attention to facing up the germination site.

Incubator for sprouting

When we accelerate germination, we should adjust the method of accelerating germination reasonably according to the planting area and the number of accelerating germination. If the planting area is large and the number of seeds that need to be germinated is large, then we can use the method of budding in the incubator. After disinfecting and cleaning the seeds, put them into the incubator and check the germination of the seeds every day. When about 60% of the seeds sprout, they can be sown. After sowing, pay attention to cover the soil, control the temperature, about three weeks, the seeds can break the soil, after emergence to do a good job of shading.

The above is a brief introduction to how towel gourd seeds sprout. Towel gourd seed germination work is actually relatively simple, we can according to their own germination habits and planting environment and other actual conditions, reasonable adjustment of germination methods. This is the end of today's introduction, this article is for reference only, I hope it can be helpful to everyone!
