How to quickly, easily and effectively to prepare seeds for sowing

The whole army of gardeners can be divided into two camps. Their goals are the same: to grow a good crop quality of vegetables. Ways of achieving the goals are different: some believe that working in the garden requires a big investment of hard work, others that work on earth should be easy, not burdensome, to allow the summer to relax, to leave the beds for travel, swimming.



Preparation of seeds for sowing is the first stage of facilitate country work. But the training itself can be different.
 

The classical scheme of training semenitari preparation have been described:

First calibratedto select the large and full, because it is believed that large seeds will grow the most vigorous plants. Warming up the seeds after this procedure, germinate faster. Disinfection — to destroy pathogens on the surface of the seed. Stimulating growth is a very straightforward procedure, you ought to get every seed out of the bag to ascend. Sparging is to rinse off the essential oil from the seed. Tempering — to increase the resistance of plants to weather conditions. Soaking for fast germination of seeds.

First about the calibration In the descriptions of varieties not to give instructions on the seed size of each variety or hybrid, but from my own observations I know that different plant seeds come in different sizes. Here's an example: at the same time was taken tomato seeds varieties the Shuttle and the Golden age, and clearly shows that the seed sizes are different. From those and other seeds is to grow plants that are identical to the varieties. We do not choose the right variety for the size of the seeds?



To visually identify which seeds best, very difficult, because it was determined by selection methods. The most affordable gardener — bathing in brine for cooking that you need to take 40 g NaCl dissolved in 1 liter of water (carefully stir about 2-3 minutes). Then put the seeds in the solution, it's good to perebolet and wait to be transformed into fractions: light seeds will float, full sink.

But if the seeds dry? How much talking? Here is another method: you need to create a solution of ammonia 2 per cent of the fortress, the seeds are immersed in it for 5-6 minutes, then efficiently washed, and then placed in a solution of salt. By the way, all purchased seeds are almost dry.



The important role played by the concentration of the solution: went a little overboard with the soluble substance, or Vice versa — not reported and the job will be done poorly.
It is difficult to say how necessary this step is, because you can just all the seeds to sow, and the Seating to choose only the strongest sprouts.
 

Now progrevaniem the process is complex, for high-quality training need a thermostat. Because the heating is divided into several mini-stages: first the desired temperature is 30 degrees for two days, then it rises 20 degrees (this is done smoothly), and the seeds heated for another three days. Then the temperature (at a smooth again raise) reaches the maximum of 70 degrees for four days. Here is the process that gives real results.



If you do not comply with the temperature regime, the seeds can simply destroy. But in a normal kitchen, everything is easier: any day is a hot Sunny windowsill or any heating appliance or oven (with temperature control thermometer).

In ancient times, seeds were stored in the cold, where they passed the cold: it felt cold, then a little warmed up. And before planting, two weeks they basked on the shelf in the kitchen Cabinet, (the owners of stoves-beds — on them).
 

Obezzarajivatmi for the preparation of solutions and is defined here. The usual recommendations for solution of potassium permanganate per 100 ml of water (this is 100 grams), taken 1 mg of substance; exposure time — 20 minutes. Then quality washing, drying until a free-flowing state (seeds should stick to the fingers).



Other methods: porridge made from cloves of garlic, aloe Vera juice of a certain age and different exposure time. It is expected that the pest will be destroyed.
 

Stimulants stimulants Rostest natural — lye, from wood ashes cooked. There are Appin, is Zircon, but it is chemicals. In this way revive or revived even long overdue seeds with expired period of storage. This can be understood: seeds in the bag lies a little, they are expensive as losing one of them?
 

Humpty Dumpty, or aquariums aquarium can not buy, but the equipment we need to buy necessarily. Seeds nature is very faithful to the specific timing of the germination. Technology wise – to envelop the seed essential oils. Celery seed, carrots, and tomato seeds contain such oils. They need to be removed, then germination will be much faster and Wake up on time can all the seeds.



But this process is lengthy. You need to barbotirovat seeds for 12 hours, mixing constantly in a jar of water so that the air fell into the water. The gardener is not able to perform such work. To make it easier is to purchase a compressor for the aquarium, and the Bank capacity of 3 liters, the farm will always be found.

This event will make the seeds germinate in 5 days faster.
 

The time has come has zakalivanie seeds from the tank, wrapped in gauze, put in a jar and for a week in a place with a temperature about 3 degrees of light frost. Under refrigeration a temperature not to find, and in a freezer it is much lower. It remains only one possibility — the use of street snow.



Need to arm yourself with a thermometerto find with it, on the depth of the snow pile place with the right temperature and put the seeds. For a week.

It is believed that seeds that have passed the procedure of hardening, will give plants that will sneeze on bad weather conditions, being outdoors.
 

Soaking (or steeping)it's simple: need any bowl, a plastic bag, rag and seeds themselves. Recommendations you can find different. Some sources suggest watering the seeds until they hatch some of them, others define the term all day. But it is believed that the soaking will help the seeds germinate faster for five days.
 

Time the action of addition to recall Each step takes time. For example, for heating is dependent on the presence or absence of the thermostat: if it is — enough for 12 days, but the procedure can last a month and a half, if a device is not present.
 
Simple addition says: the preparation of seeds the full scheme will take almost two months. Two winter months have no gardener of rest from worries! So was invented a quick method — week duration.



Need bacterial preparation (roughly speaking, an antibiotic for plants) in its aqueous solution can be just a quarter of an hour the seeds hold. Then they need to efficiently wash, dilute solution and soak seeds in it for 16 hours.
 
Then a hot bath — in the full sense of the word. You need a vessel with seeds on the grid to put in 30 minutes over a pan in which water is maintained hot. Importantly, the seeds in a bowl not too hot: the temperature should be just below fifty degrees.

And then another two days just to keep in a warm place to complete ProgramFiles procedure. And - in the refrigerator, on your favourite seeds the bottom shelf. The total processing time of the seeds is one week!
 
A little note!
After such a cumbersome, long time different treatments there is no guarantee that every seed will yield a good harvest. That will not be the black leg to mow down the seedlings.
 

Where does the infection?Not only on the surface of the seed, not only to its shell. These parasites may partly remove the solution KMgO4, because pathogens on the surface of the sleeping seed, like the seed itself. They have no necessary conditions for development.



Parasitic organisms live inside the shell, in the seed itself. Them potassium permanganate, not to kill. And warming will not save — pests are very resilient, especially in the forms in which they are in "suspended animation". Well mushroom to 50 degrees when in the compost heap charred branches!
 
Any antibiotic product of the fungus, it is needed in the soil?

And stimulants? Gardener tries to have every seed came up. No matter it is full or defective. Flawed seed will not give the normal varietal characteristics the plants will not give a normal crop, but the infection will spread.



Nature is wise, no wonder she came up with essential oils. People use them to combat pathogens. For example, cedar essential oil is a good antiseptic for viral infections, it eliminates the inflammation of the nasopharynx and respiratory tract. The essential oil of lemongrass perfectly disinfects the air in rooms. If in a few milliliters of alcohol to dissolve the oil and then mix everything in a glass of water, we get a tool capable of disinfecting a room in which there is a sick man. Essential oil of nutmeg cope in bacterial intestinal infections. The Japanese peppermint oil has antiviral activity in the cold. Patchouli oil — all champion among antivirus tools: it helps to cope with viruses of influenza, herpes zoster, herpes. Essential tea tree oil kills viruses, fungi, bacteria (including when airborne, intestinal dissemination of the parasite).
 
Well, enough examples. There is a question: what is the nature gives the essential oil the seeds? What this way keeping them? Why do we need to wash away the essential oil, and then treating the seeds with a disinfectant?



Why in nature there is reworked with hot water seeds no seeds with traces of disinfectant, and the earth is covered with plants? Then there is the nature of the mechanisms that make the rejection of poor quality, patients are not capable of producing quality offspring the seeds, leaving only those that are able to produce healthy offspring.
 

Rotting seeds Every gardener has met with such trouble. Like, and the seeds prepared for planting properly, and the technology of preparation of soil met all potassium permanganate spilled qualitatively, and the seeds did not germinate. Organized search of lost not always successful — to find a seed in a clod of earth difficult. But there are successes when it is, but just kind of looks unhealthy, some dark. If such a seed to crush, then it will come out something similar to a rot.
 
It's actually rot. Pathogens fungi fusarium, phoma, sclerotinia, pythium and more often. Rot Fusarium appears not sprout, and the seed. Of course, there are conditions that help fungi to develop: too heavy, too wet soil. With this trouble to cope with spraying or application of dry sand.

Tips to use sand, perlite or other material that takes in water, is justified only partially. They slightly tweak the conditions, but the parasite of the seed extract. If the seed rots, the sprouts will be amazed. What to do?
 

To carry out the culling of seeds in other principle to get every seed to come up and destroy the ones that carry the source of infection. Not to eliminate essential oil, because they have protective function. It is important to identify all the seeds that have infected the germ. This culling on the microbiological level.



To start the whole seeds need to be processed with a solution of natural humic acids. They will be removed from purchased seeds all chemicals for etching. If the seeds extracted from the fruits of our own garden, such a procedure is not needed.
 
The second stage is the processing of humic acids, as a solution of a hay stick.
 
These two stages will really improve the quality of seed material:

  • increases energy of germination of seeds ranging from 4.5 % to 18%;
  • increases seed germination by 3-5%;
  • in seedlings increased root system (a factor of about 2);
  • when you transplant the plants soon take root;
  • cuttings quickly form a strong root system;
  • adult plants produce more large fruit (this is true for all cultures);
  • plants become more plastic, they are faster and better adapted to soil and climatic conditions of specific locations in the region and even in the garden of a private;
  • it makes possible the cultivation of plants, which theoretically in this climate and on these soils can not grow.


 
All training takes 2, 3 days. It could be called dipping. To seed tomatoes, you will need 2 or 3 days for cabbage and radish — only 2 hours, eggplants — no more than 2 days for peppers, onions, carrots, garlic, onions, all gourds — just one day (or rather night). Even potatoes in just 1.5 hours before planting to processing. You can leave the soaked seeds to prokleivanija and sow.
 
For the treatment requires two drugs from the humic acids (not to be confused with salts of humic acids – HUMATE), it's flora and Fitop-flora-S. the use of these drugs for soil preparation and seed planting can finally begin to protect the plants from the dive.
 
Remember: after this treatment, not all seeds will sprout. Sometimes out of the bag no one seed to sprout will not turn. The seeds, which disrupted the structure of the embryo would perish, and healthy get vaccinated for immunity.
 
A little note!
Let's see how much time and effort we have saved in preparation for gardening season! And only then should natural technology. published
