Watermelon seed germination method

Abstract

The invention provides a watermelon seed germination method, and relates to the technical field of watermelon seed germination. The watermelon seed germination method comprises the technical scheme that firstly, a proper amount of watermelon seeds are taken and are put in a container containing 0.2 percent KCl and 150mg / L gibberellins (GA); the seeds are soaked for 8 hours at 28 DEG C; then, the seeds are taken out; the seeds are put into a 28-DEG C seed germination box for 5 to 7 days after being coated by wet towels or gauze. The method has the advantage that the watermelon seed germination rate, the germination condition and the seedling fresh and living quality can be obviously improved.

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
