Seed mode of reproduction

Some garden crops can be propagated by seeds, and seedlings at the same time retain their hereditary qualities.

APRICOT and PERSIK - are just such fruit crops. With good care, winter-resistant, productive seedlings with tasty fruits grow. True, in fruiting they enter somewhat later in comparison with the grafted seedlings.

Seeds are isolated from ripened fruit, washed and immediately sown. During the summer, the soil moisture is monitored and watered if necessary. And you can put seeds in moist sand and keep in the refrigerator or in the basement before the autumn planting - until October 5-10.

Seeds are sown on the prepared bed to a depth of 6-7 cm according to the scheme of 10 x 50 cm.

Care consists in loosening and weeding row sprouts, regular watering and fertilizing with ammonia nitrate or liquid organic fertilizer. Over the summer, with proper care, the seedlings grow to 80-100 cm in height and next spring are ready for the

transplant to a permanent site or for grafting as a stock.

CHERRY WILD also mainly reproduces by seeds. The best time for sowing is the end of summer, immediately after collecting and isolating the seeds from the fruits. Late autumn crops may not allow sprouting, or the seeds will be little viable. For spring sowing, the seeds are stratified from autumn.

Schizandra

The best results are given by spring seed sowing. Pre-seed stratify for 90-100 days in sand. First, dry seeds are soaked for four days in the snow water, which is changed daily. Then they are mixed with clean river sand, moistened and stored in the first month at a temperature of 15-20 °, and then - at a temperature of 0-5 °.In early May, sowing on a bed or in boxes at a depth of 1.5-2 cm seedlings are pritenyayut of direct sunlight. Care - the usual. The first two years of

, the Yants are growing slowly. Only in the third year they begin to bush and develop a good root system.

BLACK FRUIT RARE is another plant that multiplies mainly by seeds. All seedlings are relatively equal, retain the main qualitative properties of this culture.

Seeds can be sown in autumn and spring. It should be borne in mind that when planting in autumn, without stratification, the shoots appear unevenly throughout the summer, and the seed germination is not high. The best result is spring sowing with stratified seeds. Stratification is carried out for 90 days in a basement with a constant temperature of 4-5 ° C.To do this, the seeds are mixed with coarse sand in a ratio of 1: 4 or peat - 1: 2.During stratification, the substrate is kept moist.

When sowing seeds are mixed with sawdust, evenly sown in grooves and mulched with humus. Seedlings thin out, leaving a distance between seedlings 10 cm. The standard size seedlings reach by the fall of the second year.

AIVA JAPANESE

It's easiest to propagate chaenomeles with seeds. Sown under the winter, they well rise already next spring. If you do not have time in autumn, then keep the dry seeds until February in room conditions, and in mid-February, soak in snow water for 3-5 days, then mix with sand and store until April at a temperature of +2 - + 5 ° C,the sand was wet. Sow the seeds in rows in a row. If the shoots are thickened, then they are thinned. By the autumn, annual seedlings grow. They need to be digged, cut long roots halfway and re-planted. A year later, next autumn, grow good seedlings with a developed root system.

However, with the seed method of reproduction of Japanese quince, the varietal properties in the progeny are not completely preserved. But the seedlings are varied and you can select interesting shapes that differ in height of the bush, as well as the size and shape of the fruit.

IRGI KUANADSKY also widely uses seed reproduction. The best time for sowing is the end of summer, immediately after collecting and isolating the seeds from the fruits. Late autumn crops may not allow sprouting, or the seeds will be little viable. For spring sowing, the seeds are stratified from autumn.
