Germination method for pumpkin seeds

Abstract

The invention provides a germination method for pumpkin seeds, and relates to the technical field of germination of pumpkins. According to technical scheme adopted by the invention, the germination method comprises: firstly taking a proper number of of pumpkin seeds, and putting the taken pumpkin seeds in a container with a treatment fluid comprising 0.2%KC1 and 150mg / L gibberellin (GA); at the temperature of 28 DEG C, soaking the pumpkin seeds put in the container for 8 hours, and then, taking out the seeds; wrapping the soaked seeds with a wet towel or gauze, and putting the wrapped seeds in a seed sprouting box in which the temperature is 28 DEG C to be kept for 5-7 days. The germination method disclosed by the invention can obviously increase the sprouting rate, the sprouting vigor and the sprout-stock fresh and living quality of the pumpkin seeds.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of pumpkin germination, in particular to a method for germination of pumpkin seeds. Background technique [0002] At present, there are relatively few researches on the germination technology of pumpkin seeds in China. The sprouting technology of pumpkin seeds is commonly used in the industry. The main method is: put 50~55℃ warm water in a clean container, and the amount of water is 5 of the seed volume. Soak the seeds in warm water and stir continuously. When the water temperature drops to 30℃, stop stirring, and soak for 8-12 hours to make the seeds absorb enough water, then drain the water, drain the water, wrap it with gauze, and wrap it on the outside. The soaked sack or towel is placed in a pot for sprouting. This method is called soaking seeds in warm soup. This is the most commonly used method of sprouting at present. This method is simple and convenient, but it also has many problems: slow seedling e...

Problems solved by technology

[0002] At present, there are relatively few domestic researches on the germination technology of pumpkin seeds, and the germination technology of pumpkin seeds is generally adopted in the industry. The main method is: put warm water at 50~55℃ in a clean container, and the water volume is 5% of the seed volume. double, soak the seeds in warm water and stir continuously, stop stirring when the water temperature drops to 30°C, and then soak for 8-12 hours to make the seeds absorb enough water, then drain the water, wrap it with gauze, and then wrap the outside Put soaked sacks or towels in pots for germination. This method is called soaking seeds in warm soup. This is the most commonly used method for germination at present. This method is simple and convenient, but there are many problems: slow seed emergence, bud vigor Weak, irregular emergence, serious phenomenon of large and small seedlings, if the seeds are dormant, the emergence speed will be slower, and the germination rate is low

Pumpkin is a popular vegetable that plays an important role in production, but pumpkin seeds germinate slowly and irregularly, and are prone to natural aging during storage, resulting in reduced vitality. Therefore, how to speed up seed germination and promote seed emergence is very important
