Method for storing cucumber seeds

Abstract

The invention provides a method for storing cucumber seeds, comprising the following steps: (1) Seed collection: cucumbers mature naturally at the end of June, mid- to early July, and can be harvested when the fruit changes from green to yellow. (2) Storage treatment: use dry plant ash with less impurities, high purity and dryness as the material; put the freshly taken cucumber seeds in the prepared plant ash; The wooden board is placed in a dry and ventilated place; (3) Storage time: Generally, the seeds are taken out and sown from the time of harvesting to the next spring before and after the Qingming Festival. The invention mainly solves the technical problem of storage of cucumber seeds effectively, saves labor and time, maintains the physiological activity of cucumber seeds, promotes efficient after-ripening, makes the seeds full, and has sufficient internal nutrition, and the germination rate during sowing reaches 95%. Above, the seedling survival rate is more than 90%.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of agricultural production, and relates to a cucumber production and planting technology, in particular to a cucumber seed storage method. Background technique [0002] Cucumber is a plant of the Cucumber genus of the Cucurbitaceae family. Its scientific name is Cucumis sativus Linn. It is also aliased as courgette, thorn gourd, king gourd, hanging gourd, cucumber, etc. The fruit color is oily green or emerald green with soft small spines on the surface. It is commonly cultivated throughout China , And many areas are cultivated in greenhouses or plastic greenhouses; cucumbers were brought back to the Central Plains by Zhang Qian's envoy to the West during the Western Han Dynasty. They are called courgettes. After the Five Hus and Sixteen Kingdoms, Emperor Shi Le of Zhao taboo "Hu", the Hanchen Xiangguo Shou Fantan changed it to "cucumber". [0003] Cucumber is sweet, sweet, cold in nature, bitter, non-toxic, and e...

Problems solved by technology

This storage method is not only time-consuming and laborious, but also easily affected by external factors such as birds during the drying of the seeds, resulting in loss of seeds; when encountering continuous rainy weather, the seeds are not easy to dry, and it is easy to cause the seeds to rot and affect the next generation. annual seed germination rate

In addition, this storage method makes the physiological activity of the seeds less, and the survival rate is low when sowing, generally only about 70%.

[0007] Cucumber seedlings are raised by seeds. In the process of seedlings, the seed germination rate is low due to poor seed storage technology and other reasons.

Most of the existing cucumber seeds are packed in plastic film bags, because the airtight bags will affect the germination rate of cucumber seeds
