Techniques of sowing and raising seedlings of mysterious fruits

The mysterious fruit, which is native to West Africa, was introduced to China in the 1960s and is suitable for growing in warm, tropical and drier areas. His fruit is sour and sweet and delicious, the plant is short and evergreen shrub, but also has a certain ornamental value. Generally, there are several propagation methods for popularizing seedlings in large areas, such as sowing, cutting and striping, but only sowing can maintain complete good genetic characters, so now it mainly introduces the release of sowing and seedling.

I. seed collection

Tropical planting seeds can be picked as soon as they are ripe and sown after picking. They are suitable for sowing all the year round. Pick fresh and ripe large fruits free of diseases and insect pests. To pick fully ripe fruits, the pulp is easily separated from the seeds, separated by hand, and then washed to remove the pulp and leave the seeds. Then soak the seeds in flowing water for an hour, remove mucus, remove and dry.

II. Land selection and preparation

Stretching requires high soil, but if planting wants to have high yield and produce more and better fruit, it is necessary to provide the best growing environment. It is generally planted on deep, transparent, gentle slopes or flat land without stagnant water. Before planting to turn the ground, but not too deep, about 20 centimeters on it, because its root distribution is not deep, the main root is not obvious. When ploughing the land, apply basic fertilizer together, apply 500 jin of farm manure per mu, mystery fruit is more like fertilizer, the origin is fertile place. The soil should be ploughed carefully and loosely. Then rise the seedbed with a width of about 1.3 meters, leaving a ditch 20 centimeters wide and 10 centimeters deep. It can be planted as soon as it is done.

Third, sowing seeds

Seedlings can be sowed directly on the seedbed, and then covered with a layer of 2 cm of soil, and then watered thoroughly, generally until the whole seedbed is wet, spray water is the best, will not wash the seeds. After sowing, it can cover sterilized straw to shade the sun and keep warm. It can also be a sunshade net. After watering every day, the amount of water will be reduced after a week, and it will germinate in about half a month.

IV. Seedling emergence management

The period from seed germination to transplanting is also the category of raising seedlings. Generally, it takes a period of time to manage and grow after emergence before transplanting. When the seedlings emerge, the light can be seen properly, and the light and action can be turned green, which can reduce the amount of water and prevent the disease of high temperature and humidity. After the emergence of the seedlings, pull out the weak and diseased seedlings, and then refine the seedlings, then less watering and less fertilization, exercise the root system, and then grow to 30 cm high when you can transplant, transplanting to water thoroughly, less root damage.

Mysterious fruit planting, sowing and breeding is the main content above, which can provide you with a reference, if experienced friends can combine their own experience to actually operate, but this provides you with more information, thank you for your reading support.
