What are the methods of raising seedlings? If you want to know, read the following article to understand!

First, how to select loquat seeds?

The main results are as follows: 1. Loquat seeds have no dormancy period. Loquat kernels should be screened before sowing, small and abnormal loquat seeds should be removed, and large and full loquat seeds can be sowed after washing and drying.

2. In order to ensure the stable yield and high yield of loquat after planting, when selecting seeds in the process of loquat planting, we should choose those varieties which are large, sweet and free of diseases and insect pests as the best breeding choice.

2. Seedling raising methods of loquat seeds

1. Nursery bed selection

The nursery should choose sandy soil with overcast and leeward, loose soil, rich in organic matter, medium fertility, good fertilizer and water retention. Half a month before sowing (early and middle May), appropriate amount of mature compost, soil manure, pig manure or 50 kg compound fertilizer per mu were applied as base fertilizer. Then the soil is ploughed and raked fine and leveled to make a border, with a width of 1.2 meters and a furrow of 30 centimeters. Where there are underground pests, carbofuran should be used to disinfect the soil before soil preparation to kill underground pests.

2. Sowing seeds

The sowing time is from late May to early June. There are two sowing methods: sowing or strip sowing (generally using strip sowing). The row spacing of strip sowing is 20-25 cm and the plant spacing is 10-12 cm. Depending on the germination rate of seeds, 1-3 seeds are sowed in each hole and pressed gently when sowing. Half of the seeds are pressed into the soil and sprinkled with a thin layer of fine ash soil. It is more suitable not to see loquat seeds. If the seed is too deep to be unearthed, it will cause mildew and rot, and if it is too shallow, it will not take root. Immediately after sowing, water should be used to pour through the seedling bed and cover the soil surface with moisturizing materials such as rice straw or fresh pigpen grass, so as to keep the soil surface unhardened and conducive to seedling emergence.

3. Post-broadcast management

Before the seedling is unearthed, the seedling bed should maintain a certain degree of humidity, do not be too dry and too wet, and uncover the grass after emergence. Because loquat seedlings like shade, the leaves are easy to burn when exposed to strong sunlight. Therefore, before emergence after sowing, it is necessary to use a sunshade net to build a shade shed, which is 50-60 cm high. After completing the seedlings, remove the weak seedlings, overdense seedlings and diseased seedlings in time, and leave a strong seedling according to the distance between the plants. When the seedlings grow 3-4 true leaves, thin human feces and urine or compound fertilizer can be applied every half a month, and weeds can be removed in time. When the seedling height reaches 20 cm, remove the top 1-2 young leaves, promote the lower stem thickening, and do a good job in the prevention and control of diseases and insect pests at the same time. The sunshade net was removed at the end of August and early September. In the spring of the second year, the rootstock seedlings can be grafted when the diameter is more than 0.6 cm, and the transplantable seedlings that are not up to the standard can be recultivated and managed to be grafted the following year.
