In the process of planting vegetables, vegetable seeds are the key to the ultimate growth of vegetables. Many novice vegetable friends, especially some urban residents like to plant some vegetables on the balcony of the pickers, will often put forward some planting vegetables, vegetable seeds should be how to deal with in advance, vegetable seeds need to germinate? How should be germinated?

In fact, this issue can not be generalized, different vegetables planting methods are not the same, in the planting of vegetables, some vegetable seeds need to be germinated, some do not need to be germinated, and different environments do not catalyze the germination is not the same, the farmer's sister-in-law has been living in the countryside, in front of their own homes also have a small garden, the family daily life of the vegetables eaten in the self-sufficiency.

First let's take a look at what needs to be sprouted and what does not. Generally speaking, we usually plant vegetables, the planting of leafy vegetables, seeds do not need to be germinated. Leafy vegetables such as lettuce, oatmeal, fennel, Chrysanthemum, cabbage, amaranth, cabbage, small rape and so on. Like this kind of vegetables they have a same **** characteristics is that the seed is relatively small, and the seedling time is relatively fast, in the appropriate temperature and the right temperature, generally 3 to 5 days can be sprouted, the whole seedling out of the most no more than a week, so these leafy seeds do not need to be germinated, planting direct sowing can be.

For melon, tomato and bean vegetables, we have to germinate the seeds in advance when planting. For example, like tomatoes, cucumbers, watermelon, pumpkin, bitter gourd, squash, zucchini, beans and so on. Because of the hard shell of the melon and tomato vegetable seeds, without sprouting into the ground will be slower, the seeds in the ground for a long time can easily lead to lack of oxygen and rot. The use of early germination of seedlings is to make the seeds in a dormant state, in the appropriate water, temperature and air permeability conditions lifted the dormancy, germination of seeds in the soil will shorten the seedling emergence time, the seed buds out of the ground will be relatively fast, the seedlings neatly.

For their germination method should be used first soaking, first soak the seeds in hot water at 60 degrees Celsius for 10 minutes and then change the water to warm water at 30 degrees Celsius and continue to soak for 3 --- 4 hours. After soaking, the soaked seeds are then placed in a 0.1% solution of potassium permanganate and continue to soak for 30-60 minutes. The purpose is to sterilize and kill pathogenic bacteria such as anthracnose and blight carried in the seeds.

There are many ways to germinate, if you are not a large vegetable grower, just sporadic planting at home, we can soak and sterilize the seeds and spread them onto wet paper towels and cover them with plastic wrap to germinate. You can also put the seeds into a plastic bag for germination, or into a clean, grease-free ceramic bowl covered with a clean damp cloth can also be germinated. Large family planting, planting more cases, we can put the seed buds into the foam box for germination work.

Germinating seeds, 25 degrees to 30 degrees of constant temperature environment is the most suitable temperature for the seeds, so we must control the temperature in the constant temperature, the seed buds humidity is maintained at more than 90%, generally two or three days can be out of the flush buds. Note that during this period to always observe the degree of wetness of the seeds, if the seeds are found to be dry can be appropriate with a spray bottle of water on the seeds, to keep the seeds moist, until you see the seeds sprouting white, you can ground into the planting.
