Rapid germination technique of balsam pear seeds

Balsam pear is a warm and heat-resistant vegetable, which is widely planted in China and can adapt to a variety of environments. coupled with its heat-clearing and summer-relieving effect, balsam pear is very popular in summer. But when sowing, because its outer skin is thick and hard, the water permeability is very poor, and it is more difficult to germinate, so it needs timely germination technology to make it germinate smoothly. So do you know if budding is carried out? Next, let's take a look at the detailed introduction of the pro-agriculture network.

1. Seed drying

Before starting to promote germination, first treat the seeds, choose sunny weather, and put the seeds of balsam pear in the sun for a few hours, so that some bacteria carried by the seed epidermis can be eliminated, play a role of disinfection, and improve the budding rate. However, it should be noted that it is not suitable to dry the seeds directly on the cement ground. It is best to spread the seeds evenly on the cloth, and turn the seeds from time to time to avoid the high temperature directly drying the seeds to death.

2. Budding method 1

Balsam pear has two common methods of sprouting: first prepare warm water of about 50-55 degrees, then pack the seeds in gauze bags, start cleaning with clean water, and gently wipe the seeds when cleaning, so that the external materials with poor water permeability can be cleaned. Then soak the seeds in prepared warm water, soak for 8-10 minutes, start stirring, start to add cold water when stirring, reduce the water temperature to about 30 degrees, soak for 12 hours, you can fish out the seeds. After being fished out, wrap it with a towel with wet gauze and place it at a room temperature of about 30 degrees for budding. When accelerating germination, it should be checked every day to prevent the loss of water from causing the seeds to be too dry, leading to germination failure, and to prevent excessive moisture from causing rotten seeds. After meeting the conditions and environment for accelerating germination, the seeds can be sown after about 2-3 days when the seeds begin to grow into radicles.

3. Budding method 2.

This kind of germination is not as complicated as the first method, and the seeds are washed and soaked in warm water of about 50-55 degrees for about 10 minutes to cool naturally and soak for 12 hours. Remove and wash, break the navel of the seed slightly with tools or teeth, pay attention to not breaking more, and then put it in an environment of about 30 degrees at room temperature to accelerate germination. After the seed grows into radicle, it can be sown.
