The method of accelerating germination of Peanut

Peanut is a common cash crop, which has high nutritional value, is often used to nourish and nourish, but also has the effect of prolonging life. In order to ensure its budding rate and avoid excessive waste of seeds, it will be treated with accelerating germination before planting. After accelerating germination, the germination rate of peanut seeds can not only be as high as 95%, but also make its emergence neat, which is conducive to management. The following editor will bring you its budding method, together to understand.

1. Seed drying

After a long period of storage, peanuts will absorb moisture from the air, so that the water content of the seeds is larger, so it is not suitable to sow seeds, so it is necessary to sun the peanuts for a day or two before sowing, and choose sunny weather when drying seeds. Do not directly put peanuts on the cement floor and slate, use cloth or bamboo appliances to pave the way to prevent high temperature burns from damaging the seeds and affecting the germination rate.

2. Peeling and granulation

Shelling can be carried out after drying seeds, pay attention to the time of shelling and sowing time as close as possible, it is best to peel with the seed, peeling when the best manual, mechanical damage to the seeds. After shelling, sieve screen is used for graded grain selection, generally using 5mm and 7mm sieve, first screening with 7mm, selecting seeds and then screening with 5mm, and finally leaving small and light seeds not suitable for sowing, generally using the first two kinds of sowing.

3. Soaking seeds to accelerate germination

After selecting the seeds which are large and heavy, full, disease-free and damage-free, the step of seed soaking and germination can be carried out. There are two ways to soak the seeds to promote germination. One is to soak the seeds in warm water of 30-40 degrees for 6-8 hours, make them absorb enough water, fish them out and dry them a little, and then put them in a greenhouse environment of 25-30 degrees. They can be covered with wet towels and washed once a day to keep the seeds from rotting due to overheating. The second is to layer the seeds with wet sand at a ratio of 1:5 to make them absorb water and germinate, either way, to maintain temperature, moisture and ventilation. Most of the seeds can be sown after they begin to germinate.

4. Coating and mixing seeds

Before sowing, the suspension seed coating agent is coated, and the general dose is 0.3% of the seed amount. When sowing, seed dressing is carried out with organic fertilizer and chemicals, and seed mixing with organic fertilizer can germinate as soon as possible, and seed dressing with chemicals can control most diseases. Generally, one kilogram of phosphorus and potash fertilizer is mixed with seeds per mu, and there are many choices of agents, which can be matched by themselves, but we should pay attention to the concentration so as not to cause seed drug damage and affect germination.
