Cucumbers - this culture grows almost on every land plot, because this vegetable is useful, tasty and grows in a wide variety of climatic conditions. Let's talk today about how to prepare the seeds of cucumbers to land, what about this process you need to know and than seeds to process.
Factors to gem seeds
Inexperienced gardeners can simply purchase seeds and in the specified or selected juice falling together. Experienced, always process seeds before throwing them into open ground. Many wonder - how to prepare seeds to landing, what should I do with them for what? Here, we will answer all these questions today, disassembled each of them in detail and carefully.
First of all, it is necessary to understand what treatment is needed:
- acceleration of seed development in open soil
- enhance the likelihood of seeds
- stability of sprouts and plants, in general, to various kinds of diseases, infections and pests
In fact, the culture under consideration occupies a leading position in the list by similar plants. The number of high-quality seeds that will go on your bed is at least 90%. If you keep the seeds correctly, then for 7 years you can use them without problems and special difficulties, without fearing that they have become poor-quality or non-residents for sowing.
This condition will be relevant if the storage is correct, which means that you kept them in accordance with the following rules:
- cool place
- indoors where the seeds are dry
- the temperature atmosphere ranges from +10 to +13 0
- air humidity should not exceed 55 0
Despite the fact that the seeds of this culture belong to the frost-resistant. Store them in a non-heated room or garage without heating is not recommended. Because they will lose their most important properties, and a rich harvest from such seeds you are unlikely to get.
In the hot rooms, it is also not recommended to store seeds, because at temperature indicators above 25 degrees of heat, the maximum storage time will be no more than 12 months.
Chicken seeds
Seeds of cucumbers start germinate Pi temperature 25-27 0The time of their germination is just a few days. Before planting seeds into open ground, they need not only to handle, but also to begin to go through, that is, to choose from the existing best, eliminating unfit to planting seeds. In this case, the chipping is a mandatory procedure, despite the fact that you took the seeds - they collected themselves or bought in a specialized point of sale.
To begin with, you must decompose the existing seeds in one layer and carefully consider them, to remove from sight:
- seeds whose surface is somehow deformed
- seeds whose color is categorically different from the total mass of seeds
Leave for landing needed seeds:
- large
- smooth
- seeds whose color is uniform without spots, etc.
Some grodes carry the process of collecting in salt solution, you will need it for cooking:
- Salt Salt - 3 g
- Water - 100 ml
First, the seeds will need to be omitted into the salt solution prepared by you. In this case, if you have a lot of seeds, then cook the same solution, only make it 1 liter, you will need one and a half spoons of salt.
Seeds that you put in solution must be mandatory very well, so that all bubbles from the surface of the solution are removed. In such a solution, it will be necessary to hold the seeds for 7 minutes.
Those seeds that emerged throughout the time of finding seeds in solution will need to be removed immediately, it means that they are hollow and germinate, they will not definitely. The remaining seeds will need to catch and dry. It should also be noted that only seeds whose age does not exceed two years can be carried out in this way. If you have such a method of picking among old seeds, they are very much like everything, despite the people they will be or not, so have it in mind.
Disinfection of cucumber seeds
There are several ways to disinfect seeds that we will consider in detail, and let's start our analysis with a mortgage solution:
- First, you will need to prepare a mortar solution of 1%.
- After that, we immerse the extended seeds there for half an hour, a maximum of 35 minutes, but no more.
- I pull out all the seeds of the solution and rinse them well under running water.
- It is not recommended to soak in such a solution in such a solution, because in this case the efficiency of disinfection decreases, and, at times.
This procedure protects seeds from infections of various types.
Special solutions for disinfection of seeds of cucumbers:
- In order to protect the seeds of cucumbers from serious diseases, which, to date, unfortunately, there are very many, and for this use special bacterial preparations.
- Here, too, it is necessary to be neat, because in addition to the pathogenic flora, these drugs can also destroy and useful microflora, so it is dangerous to overcome this procedure for the health of seeds.
- If the production of seeds is carried out on a global scale, then they are necessarily dried, and, at sufficiently high temperatures (up to 80 degrees), but hold them in such conditions a short period of time.
Processing cucumber seeds are recommended by experienced gardens, so you should not neglect the conduct of this procedure.
