The method of accelerating seed germination of Auricularia auricula

Because of its fragrant taste, Auricularia auricula vegetable is as crisp and refreshing as eating Auricularia auricula, so it is named Auricularia auricula. Its seed shell is hard and not easy to germinate, so it needs seed germination treatment before planting in order to improve its germination rate. Let's take a look at the detailed introduction with the editor.

1. Seed selection

First of all, you should choose a full seed and put it in the sun for 1-3 days to make its surface dry. At the same time, it can also use sunlight to kill bacteria on the surface. Wash the sunburned seeds in clean water once, remove the empty shell particles floating on the water, or add detergent to clean them more cleanly.

2. Soaking seeds

Put the washed seeds into a container, add 25-30 degrees warm water to the container, and then add gibberellin, salt and white vinegar to the warm water and soak them for 48 hours. During soaking, knead the seeds every 2-4 hours, and change water 2-3 times a day to prevent water quality from deteriorating. Gibberellin, salt and white vinegar need to be readded after each change of water.

3. Prepare for sprouting environment

Take out the soaked seeds, dry them, put them into a gauze bag and set aside, in the de-constant temperature budding box, lay a sand cushion layer at the bottom of the box, then lay a layer of sterilized soil on the sand cushion layer, and then lay the cloth again. Put the gauze bag containing the seeds on top and cover it with a wet towel. After 2-3 hours each time, soak the towel and cover it again.

4. Sprouting under constant temperature

Keep the temperature in the germination box between 30 and 35 degrees Celsius. After one day of germination, take out the seeds. If any seeds have already germinated, pick them out, while the ungerminated seeds continue to germinate. Every 3-5 hours, take out the seeds and pick out the germinated seeds, while the ungerminated ones continue to germinate until all the seeds germinate.
