Last Updated: 2024/11/22, Wax gourd is one of the vegetables we are familiar with. Its seed germination rate is a headache when it is planted. Because its seed coat is stratum corneum, it is thick and has weak water absorption, so its germination time is very slow. So the growers will sprout it, and let's follow the editor.

Wax gourd is one of the vegetables we are familiar with. Its seed germination rate is a headache when it is planted. Because its seed coat is stratum corneum, it is thick and has weak water absorption, so its germination time is very slow. So growers will sprout it. Let's take a look at the method of accelerating germination of wax gourd seeds with the editor.

1. The reason for the difficulty in budding

The seed germination of wax gourd needs a lot of water and should be in a well-ventilated environment, while the seed coat of wax gourd is composed of thick-walled cells and sponge soft cells, which leads to its weak water absorption and poor air permeability, so it is difficult to sprout. In addition, its seeds need a very high temperature to germinate, germinate for a long time, planting in spring and winter, the temperature can not reach its germination conditions.

2. The method of destroying seed coat

We have all taken melon seeds, before accelerating the germination of wax gourd seeds, we can open a gap in the seed coat, but be careful not to destroy the internal structure, so as not to affect the germination rate. Then wrap the seeds with sterilized towels, be careful not to wrap them too tightly, lest poor air permeability lead to germination failure, towels should be kept moist. In this way, there is no need to soak the seeds, put it in an environment of about 30 degrees, it can sprout in about 3-4 days, and the buds are relatively neat.

3. Hot seeding method with boiling water

Soak the seeds in cold water for half an hour before sowing, scrub the mucus on the surface of the seeds and pour them into hot water at 60-70 degrees to prevent the seeds from being scalded to death by boiling water. Stir when pouring. When the water temperature drops to 30 degrees, you can stop stirring, put it in an environment of about 30 degrees, and soak for a day. After absorbing enough water, remove it to dry, wrap it with brown skin, put it in a 30-degree environment, sprout in about a week, and sow after sprouting.

4. Points for attention

In the process of accelerating germination, the seeds will produce strong respiration during germination, absorb oxygen and emit a large amount of carbon dioxide. If these carbon dioxide are not discharged in time and gathered in the seed pile, it will lead to seed asphyxiation and poisoning. There is a "retting" phenomenon, so it is necessary to maintain good air permeability during germination, and the thickness of seed accumulation should not be too thick.

The above is the introduction of wax gourd seed sprouting methods, hope to help you, want to know more related knowledge, please pay attention to us.
