Methods of accelerating germination of Tomato Seeds

Tomato planting mainly depends on seed seedling, rarely heard of the use of other methods, because seed seedling is convenient and efficient, and is the main effective method. Modern agriculture in order to plant seedlings neatly, disinfection, reduce disease, before sowing need to germinate seeds, break seed dormancy, and then sowing. Now mainly want to introduce the seed germination method, how should be carried out, I hope to help.

1, germination requirements

To provide suitable temperature, humidity environment germination, tomato seeds generally need between 20 and 25 degrees of temperature crisp ah, humidity should be more than 80%. In addition, due to the warm environment to prevent a period of time will have mucus, so every day to take out clean, and then drain the water, and then use a clean damp cloth wrapped, and then continue to germinate. In addition, there are frequent flip, so that you can ensure air circulation. Before germination, seeds must be soaked in chemicals or sterilized by hot water stirring, and then germinated after disinfection to avoid seedlings carrying bacteria.

2. Earthen pot germination

After disinfection, clean the seeds, drain them, wrap them with soaked gauze, and then put them in earthen pots. Under the earthen pots, you can pad some hay to prevent moisture, and then cover them tightly with wet gauze. Don't use too little gauze. It's best to use 3 to 4 layers of gauze. Then put the pot in a warm place, you can germinate, about a few days later will sprout.

3, sand germination

The advantage of sand germination is that the sand is moist and transparent, reducing the possibility of seedling diseases, sprouting faster, first to clean the sand, then exposure to disinfection, and then collection and use. After the seeds are disinfected, the seeds and sand are mixed together in a ratio of 1: 1.5 and placed in earthen pots. Then cover a layer of wet sand, put it in a place of insulation, choose earthen basin because earthen basin permeability is good.

3. Heat preservation and germination

Direct germination in the incubator, generally electronic can adjust the temperature of the incubator, may initially need to be set at about 25 to 28 degrees. When most of the seeds break the skin, they should be cooled down. The adaptation temperature of the newly broken parts should be lower, about 20 to 24 degrees Celsius. After most of the seeds are exposed, they should be transferred to the refrigerator to break the dormancy treatment, keep the low temperature treatment of 5 degrees Celsius, and sprout as soon as possible.

Tomato seed germination, must be disinfected first, and then provide the right temperature, humidity for germination, so no matter what method, must meet the appropriate germination environment, so as to ensure the effect of germination, in order to quickly germination, germination Qi.
