Seed sowing for seedlings

The tray for seedlings should be filled almost to the brim with earth and palm, especially paying attention to the corners of the tray, where the ground usually remains elevated. After that, the surface of the earth can be leveled with a small plank. On the surface scatter seeds, if they are very small, it is better to use the sieve, trying to ensure that the seeds are distributed as evenly as possible. Seed the seeds with their hands, slightly pressing them into the soil and filling them with a thin layer of earth, unless there are specific indications for light-scattering seeds. Earth once again crush and carefully, so as not to wash the seeds, moisten the crops from the watering can or spray. The tray must be covered with a transparent film or glass that allows light to pass through and does not allow moisture to rapidly evaporate from the soil surface, keeping it constantly moist. For irrigation, the coating needs to be shifted and moistened by the surface of the soil from the spray gun, which makes it very uniform and safe for crops. Under the film, a moist microclimate is created, which is necessary for seeds to germinate. It is necessary to regularly turn the film or glass when condensate in the form of drops of water accumulates on their underside, so that excessive moisture does not damage the germinating seeds. As soon as the shoots appear, the coating must be removed. Large, dragee seeds or seeds of plant species that do not tolerate a transplant due to the lack of ability of the root system to regenerate, for example pumpkin cultures, it makes sense to plant in separate pots in which they grow and remain until planted on a permanent place of growth.

Preparation of seeds for growing seedlings

Seeds intended for growing seedlings must be prepared. There are many ways of presowing seed treatment, which differ depending on the type of crop. The following method of preparing tomato seeds proved to be a good one. Seeds should be treated with a strong solution of potassium permanganate, allowed to dry and repeat the treatment. Then put the seeds in the ash solution, prepared at the rate of 1-2 st.l. Wood ash for 1 liter of water and let stand. Get the seeds out of the solution and do not wash them on a damp cotton cloth, which is pre-soaked in an ash solution. On top of the seeds should also be covered with a piece of tissue, put in a plastic tray and left at room temperature to peck. When the seeds come on, the tray should be placed in the refrigerator overnight, and left at room temperature during the day, repeated this operation for a week. A sharp alternation of negative and positive temperatures ensures friendly shoots, increases the viability of seedlings, and approximates the period of plant fruiting. After the preparation, the seeds are sown in a tray with earth, sealing them in the soil by 1.5 cm.
