Seedling raising methods of Momordica charantia

Balsam pear is a kind of bitter melon vegetable, but it has a high status in our country. Balsam pear has a series of effects of clearing away heat and detoxification, nourishing skin and nourishing skin. The planting area of balsam pear is very extensive, and it is planted in all provinces of our country. Now most of the planting methods of balsam pear are seedling cultivation and transplanting. So how to grow balsam pear seedlings? The following editor brings you the method of raising balsam pear seedlings, let's have a look!

1. Prepare nutritious soil

It is necessary to prepare nutritious soil before sowing, preferably 4-5 months in advance. First select the soil that has never planted melons and vegetables as the subsoil, and then prepare the rotten farm manure to pile together. If there is no fermentation time, you can stack the nutritious soil and use disinfectants to disinfect it. First of all, fully dilute the disinfectant, then sprinkle it evenly on the soil, mix it with the soil, cover the plastic film and seal it for about 3 days. Spread out the soil for another week, the efficacy disappears and you can start to use it. If there is no configuration method, you can also buy finished nutrient soil.

2. Seed disinfection

In general, balsam pear is sown by dry kernel direct seeding, or soak the seeds in clean water for about 4 hours. However, in order to prevent seeds from carrying bacteria, we still have to do a good job of disinfecting seeds before sowing. First soak the seeds for 4 hours, then mix the seeds evenly with Xerox, or soak in carbendazim and other solvents for about 1 hour to prevent fungal diseases. After soaking, rinse the seed surface with clean water to accelerate germination or sow seeds directly.

3. Soaking seeds to accelerate germination

After disinfection, the seeds are scalded in warm water of about 55 degrees, while the seeds are generally stirred to ensure that the seeds are heated evenly, prevent scalding, and stop when the water temperature drops to about 35 degrees. Then soak for about 7 hours to promote the seed to absorb water. After soaking the seeds, wash off the stolen goods on the surface of the seeds and air-dry the water. Wrap it with wet gauze and put it in an environment of about 32 degrees for budding. During germination, it is necessary to wash the seeds with warm water of about 32 degrees every day to avoid soiling, improve permeability and promote germination. After most seeds are exposed for about 4 days, they can begin to sow.

4. Sowing and raising seedlings

Prepare the seedling bowl before sowing, then put the nutrient soil into the seedling bowl, then put it on the seedling bed, pour enough bottom water, and cover the fine soil when the water seeps completely to the bottom. Then start sowing, put a seed in a seedling bowl, and then cover a layer of fine soil and plastic film after sowing to increase the temperature of the seedling bed and ensure the temperature needed for seed germination. After normal emergence, reduce the temperature appropriately, control the temperature at about 22 degrees, and do a good job of ventilation. Uncover the film, promote the seedling absorber to let the light, and then cover it at night. Three days before transplanting, remove the film and improve the cold resistance of the seedlings.

During the seedling raising period, it should be noted that if the nutritious soil is lack of water, it should be watered in time, not in overcast and rainy days, to prevent waterlogging and to meet the water demand of seedlings as far as possible. The proportion and amount of fertilizer should be adjusted according to the growth of seedlings and the fertility of nutritious soil so as to prevent malnutrition.
