Germination method of camellia tree seeds

Abstract

The invention relates to a germination method of camellia tree seeds. The method comprises (1) drying seeds in the sun for one day at 8th-10th day before sowing, soaking the seeds in clean cold waterfor 24h while kneading the seeds, then washing the seeds through clean water and carrying out rinsing to remove impurities until the water is clarified, (2) wrapping the seeds with gauze, squeezing toremove a part of water, putting the seeds into a refrigerator, keeping the temperature of 5 DEG C and washing the seeds twice in the morning and in the evening through clean water, (3) after 2 days,spread-drying the seeds in the light environment and washing the seeds twice in the morning and in the evening every day through cold water, wherein after each washing process, excessive water on theseeds is removed through blowing, (4) wrapping the seeds with gauze, hanging the seeds at a position above the water surface in a deep well, taking out the seeds every day, washing the seeds twice through clean water and drying the washed seeds through an electric fan and (5) carrying out treatment for 6 to 8 days to obtain the germinant seeds for sowing. The method shortens the germination time of the camellia tree seeds and the treated seeds have neat buds and a high germination rate.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of tea oil tree planting, in particular to a method for accelerating germination of tea oil tree seeds. Background technique [0002] Camellia oil tree (scientific name: Melaleuca alternifolia), native to the northern coast of New South Wales, Australia. It is recorded in my country that tea oil trees were introduced in 1993. Distributed in Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan and other provinces. Later, people gradually learned that the tea tree oil extracted from the tea oil tree has strong anti-inflammatory and bactericidal effects, and is widely used in the fields of medicine, cosmetics, daily chemicals, and sanitary cleaning products. [0003] Camellia oil tree seeds have the biological characteristics of embryo body dormancy, and the embryos are not fully differentiated when the seeds are mature. Therefore, if the camellia oil tree seeds are directly sown without germination treatment, the germination rate is low. At p...

Problems solved by technology

At present, the method of temperature-variable stratification treatment is usually adopted to carry out germination-promoting treatment to the tea oil tree seeds, and the germination rate of the treated tea oil tree seeds is higher, but the processing time of this method is longer
