Healthy seeds are the key to a successful futureharvest. To improve the quality of seeds and accelerate their germination, there are various methods: soaking in growth stimulants, bubbling and so on. No less important is disinfection from phytopathogenic infections.
You will need
- Vegetable seeds, growth stimulators, water, potassium permanganate, salt.
Instructions
1
The most elementary method of determining germinationseeds: with salt. Make a 5% saline solution. To do this, dissolve 50 grams of salt in 1 liter of water. Dip the seeds into a solution. Seeds that float to the surface are not suitable for planting. Throw them away. And the seeds that sank to the bottom, leave for planting. Be sure to consider the seeds of cucumbers, peppers, tomatoes purely externally. Obscure, unnatural color and shape, torn seeds discard. Leave only smooth and smooth seeds of yellow or light brown colors.

To determine the germination of seeds, it is recommendedgerminate them before planting. Seed the seeds on gauze or newspaper. Dampen them with water from the spray gun. Put the seeds in a warm place and periodically moisten them with water. In a couple of days or a week, the seeds should be pierced. You can germinate the seeds in the sawdust. Under the action of water, sawdust is very swollen and creates a greenhouse effect. This promotes rapid germination. The timing of germination depends on the specific vegetables. If you just soak the seeds before planting for a couple of hours, they will swell. However, this method does not give an exact guarantee of germination.

It is very important to disinfect seeds forprevention of diseases and protection against pests. Often seeds are imported from other countries and regions. This in itself can cause various diseases. For decontamination use 1% solution of potassium permanganate. Keep seeds in liquid for half an hour, and then rinse and dry. A solution of potassium permanganate can stain the seeds in a bright brown color. This is normal: just after soaking, rinse them better.

In order to strengthen the immunity of seeds,Increase their germination using growth stimulants. The most common of them: Epin, Epin-Extra, Kornevin, Zircon. To prepare the solution, it is enough to dissolve 1-2 drops of the drug in 100 ml of water. Maintain the seeds of vegetable cultures in solution for 6-8 hours. Such maceration destroys on the seeds various carriers of diseases and gives them additional energy for germination.

For different vegetable crops are recommendeddifferent solutions for soaking. So, it is useful to soak seeds of cucumbers, pumpkins, zucchini in a solution of microelements: boron, manganese, zinc, copper. One liter of water will be enough for 0.2 grams of each substance. Soak the seeds for 12 hours. Seeds of tomato, eggplant and pepper are tugovschinimi, so for them there is such a method as bubbling. Pour 1% potassium nitrate into the glass jar. Tip the hose from the aquarium compressor to the bottom of the can. Seeds immerse in the jar only after turning on the aquarium compressor. Periodically stir the seeds in a liquid. Processing time: 10-12 hours. The seeds dried after sparging are ready for planting.
