What are the methods of raising seedlings? Next, let's have a look with the editor.

First, how to store perilla seeds?

The dormancy period of perilla seeds is as long as 120 days. If the newly harvested seeds want to break the dormancy period, they must be placed in an environment of 3 degrees Celsius for 5 days and soaked with gibberellin to promote germination. Seed germination is light-dependent. The harvested seeds should not be dried and stored. After keeping them in the shade for 2-3 days, the seeds are mixed with equal river sand to maintain suitable humidity and buried in the Reed to facilitate germination.

Second, what are the seedling raising methods of perilla?

1. Planting time

The growth period of perilla is generally about 120 to 160 days. Perilla is generally planted in spring, sown in April in the north and mostly in March in the south. If the protected planting mode is adopted, the planting time is relatively broad, and growers can plan the sowing time according to the local climatic conditions and the time to be put on the market.

2. Sowing and raising seedlings

The germination rate of perilla seeds is high, generally no longer carry on the work of accelerating germination. Qualified growers can dry the seeds for two days before sowing to achieve the effect of disinfection. In addition, carbendazim wettable powder can be used for seed dressing. Perilla can be sown by direct seeding, or seedling can be raised before transplanting. Seedling transplanting can be used in areas with low temperature and dry weather, which can improve the survival rate of seeds. The growers who raised seedlings and transplants carried out one-time seedlings after the perilla seedlings germinated, and when the seedlings grew out of 2 true leaves. When the seedlings grow to about 5 cm, they can be transplanted and planted.

For the growers who use direct seeding, the planting plots need to be prepared and fertilized before direct seeding. The base fertilizer is mainly organic fertilizer, combined with chemical fertilizer, fertilizing according to soil fertility, using 3000 to 4000 kilograms of mature organic fertilizer and 30 kilograms of urea per mu. Direct seeding perilla seedlings need to be carried out twice after emergence, respectively, in the first and second weeks after emergence, the distance between seedlings should be kept at 5 to 7 cm in the first time and 10 to 14 cm in the second time, so as to ensure that there is enough room for plant growth in the later stage.

3. Field management

When perilla was sown from two months to March, the growth rate accelerated, at this time, sufficient water and fertilizer of perilla oil need to be guaranteed, and growers need to top fertilizer according to the situation, mainly by topdressing nitrogen fertilizer, which can be carried out with watering, and can also be sprayed with foliar fertilizer. In the aspect of pruning, if it is a leaf type perilla, it is necessary to remove the apical differentiated flower buds in time to reduce nutrient loss and prolong the leaf harvest time.

The above is the introduction of perilla, perilla has a variety of uses, in addition to edible, perilla also has medicinal value, in addition, perilla seeds can also be used as oil. Growers can choose the right varieties of perilla according to their planting needs.
