Notes on the introduction of edible fungi and the storage mode of flower seeds

Dry-keeping dry is the main condition to prevent seed deterioration, and the moisture content should be kept at 12% in order to stabilize the life activity of the seed. If it is found that it is more than 1%, it should be turned into the sun immediately to prevent fever, mildew and freezing.

The increase of cold-temperature will enhance the respiration of seeds and directly affect the quality and germination rate of seeds. It is best to store them under the condition of 2 ℃ and 3 min, which can reduce the respiration of seeds and maintain the long vitality of seeds.

Clean-seed storeroom should clean ceilings and floors, plug cracks and rat holes with lime, brush walls with lime water, and disinfect with appropriate amount of chemicals. According to the actual experience, the general seeds of family flower cultivation and storage can be hung in a ventilated and dry place with a cloth bag after drying, which is a better method.

Of course, some seeds are suitable for wet storage, such as Phyllostachys pubescens, papaya, peach blossoms, plum blossoms, roses, etc., while the seeds of water lilies and king lilies need to be put in bottles filled with water; peony, rose, sweet-scented osmanthus and other seeds need to be stored in sand; there are also those that need to be frozen, such as iris, delphinium, stachys, etc.; the seeds of peony and white orchid should be planted as they are harvested. There are also some drupes and seeds with a hard seed coat, which are stored in pits (a layer of horse dung, a layer of soil and a layer of seeds) and sealed.
