Watermelon seed germination method

Abstract

A method for germination of watermelon seeds relates to the technical field of watermelon germination. The package technical plan is as follows: first take an appropriate amount of watermelon seeds and put them in a container containing 0.2% KC1 and 150mg / L gibberellin (GA) treatment solution; soak the seeds at 28 degrees Celsius for 8 hours, and then take out the seeds; use a wet towel or Put into the seed germination box of 28 degrees Celsius after gauze wrapping, through 5-7 days. The invention can obviously improve the germination rate, germination potential and fresh quality of sprouts of watermelon seeds.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of watermelon germination, in particular to a method for germination of watermelon seeds. Background technique [0002] At present, there are relatively few researches on the germination technology of watermelon seeds in China, and the germination technology of watermelon 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: slo...

[0002] At present, there are relatively few researches on the germination technology of watermelon seeds in China, and the germination technology of watermelon 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

Watermelon is a popular fruit and plays an important role in production, but watermelon 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
