It is a favorite vegetable.
When planting, if you don't understand the characteristics of cilantro seeds, not clear how to deal with, directly planted, cilantro will be a mixed bag of germination, germination time is uncertain, which affects the agricultural producers clear time to market, thus affecting the economic benefits. To think of cilantro seed germination fast, good germination, the first thing to collect the excellent cilantro seed.
1 collection of cilantro seedsThe year planted cilantro, must be through the springing to be able to bloom fruiting, generally, turn over the winter to the 2nd year of April to May bloom fruiting, obtained in early June, thus, the collection of cilantro seeds, all allocated in this time session. In order to after cilantro can sprout robust, cilantro seed collection is not suitable for too early, immature seeds, not conducive to cilantro sprouting seedlings, even if the choice of germination sowing, germination rate are low.
After the cilantro bloom fruit, must wait patiently until the seed pods of course collapse, the fruit is developed, this time the cilantro seed neatness is good, very easy to fall, collect should pay attention to the time.
2 before sowing rubbing open the seedCoriander seed and the rest of the seed is different, must be rubbed open the seed is more conducive to germination, cilantro seed shell is more hard and solid, sealing good, absorb water tough, will be rubbed open mouth or rubbed for two cuts of the seed skin, the right time to sow the seed, in the right standard of water, you can be relatively fast germination.
3 germination sowingIn order to further enhance the germination rate of cilantro, can carry out germination after sowing, cilantro seeds with cool characteristics, the most suitable germination environment temperature of 15 ~ 20 degrees. After the cilantro seeds rubbed open, directly into the 15 ~ 18 degrees, now equipped with 0.1% potassium permanganate solution soaked in about 10 ~ 12 hours, so that the seeds absorb enough water.
Fishing out with tap water to clean up, directly placed in 15 degrees above and below the black mute natural environment to carry out germination, daily with cold water to clean up, about 30% of the seed leakage of white can be sown, to maintain the soil layer of wet and cold, cilantro will soon be out of the whole seedling.
4 with 920 agent soakingagent 920, also known as gibberellin, is a very strong vitality of the green plant growth regulator, but also a very important plant growth hormone, the role of plant growth and development is more significant. Cilantro seeds rubbed open mouth reserved, 920 particulate matter insoluble in water, dissolved in alcohol, 920 with a little height of wine melted, blended into a small amount of cold water, made into a 50ppm concentration value of the solution.
Then the cilantro seeds are placed directly in the configured solution to soak for about 12 hours or so, and then rinsed with water, continue to soak for 3 to 4 hours, fished out, placed in a shaded environment of about 10 to 12 degrees for about a week or so, and rinsed with cool water every day, to be until the seeds are dewy white with about 40%, can be sown.
