Watermelon seed selection and shell breaking germination method

Abstract

The present invention discloses a watermelon seed selection and shell breaking germination method. The germination method is achieved by the following steps: 1, seed selection and drying: depending on the properties of the variety, selecting the seeds according to the shape, color, size, and the fullness; selecting tetraploid and diploid watermelon seeds, eliminating deformities, hybrid seeds, and inferior seeds; and drying the seeds in the sun for 1-3 days a few days before soaking to help improve the germination potential; 2, seed soaking: blending the triploid seeds into 55 DEG C warm water, then naturally cooling the water, and soaking the seeds for 6-8 h; 3, shell breaking; and 4, germination: germinating the seeds after soaking and shell breaking under the condition of a constant temperature of 33-35 DEG C for 24 h, maintaining a certain humidity, selecting buds of 0.5cm for sowing, and continuing germinating the remaining seeds for 36 h to obtain germinated normal seeds, wherein the buds is preferably not too long.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for accelerating germination, in particular to a method for selecting watermelon seeds and breaking shells for accelerating germination, and belongs to the field of accelerating germination methods. Background technique [0002] Mastering the soaking time and method of watermelon is the key to improving the germination rate of watermelon. With the change of farming system and the diversification of rice cultivation methods, if watermelon seed soaking and accelerating germination are still stick to the old rules, it often results in watermelon seed soaking time is too long, the seed nutrient is released, and there is peculiar smell, which leads to uneven germination and low germination rate. Low, even lead to the phenomenon of high temperature burning buds in the process of germination. Contents of the invention [0003] Based on the existing watermelon germination method, the present invention adopts innovative scie...
