1. Seed preparation

There are many varieties of Chinese wolfberry, but Ningqi No. 2 is the most common variety in the market. After selecting the variety, the seeds are taken out from the fruit. First of all, soak the fruit until the peel is rotten. If it is fresh, this step can be ignored. Then rub the fruit into pieces and take out the seeds. After taking out the seed, wash the mucus pulp from the seed epidermis, and then select the dried seeds with wounds. Finally, the full and healthy seeds are dried and stored in a dry and cool place, ready to sow.

2. Seed treatment

Although the germination ability of Lycium barbarum seeds is relatively strong, but in order to further improve the seed germination rate and enhance the germination ability. We should promote its germination before sowing, first of all, fully mix the seeds with wet sand. Then put it in a room of about 22 degrees and cover the sand with a layer of film. In the process of sprouting, water should be watered once a day to ensure proper temperature and humidity. Then we should pay attention to observe the seed situation. When about 50% of the seeds are exposed, they can be sown, and we should pay attention to controlling the temperature and humidity. Under normal circumstances, they can germinate in about 7 days.

3. Sowing seeds at the right time

Lycium barbarum has strong adaptability and can be sown in the other three seasons except in winter. However, the main sowing time is still sowing in spring, because the temperature and humidity in spring are more suitable for the growth of seeds, which is helpful to improve the germination rate. Under the premise of suitable planting conditions, seeds will sprout soon after sowing. However, the growing period of Lycium barbarum seedlings is longer, and it is generally necessary to wait until the local autumn or even the spring of the following year before emergence and transplanting. Therefore, after the seedlings are unearthed, we need to do a good job of management to ensure the survival rate of seedlings and improve planting efficiency.

4. Sowing method

When sowing, we should first control the sowing density on the whole plot and dig a good sowing ditch, and then mix the seeds with wet sand to sow along the ditch. After sowing, cover a layer of fine soil, and then gently step on the soil to increase the contact area between the seed and the soil. After covering the soil, we should irrigate once with small water drip, water again after the water is dry, and keep the soil moist before the seeds are unearthed, so as to improve the germination rate of the seeds. This is a commonly used sowing method of Lycium barbarum seeds, its emergence speed is faster, and the emergence rate of complete seedlings is also higher.

The above is a brief introduction to the method of sowing and raising seedlings of Chinese wolfberry, which is very important in the process of planting. Therefore, we must pay more attention before planting to avoid some unnecessary losses. That's all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only. Thank you for your reading and support.
