Peach tree seed germination method

Peach seed sowing and nursery seed treatment, although useful water immersion, chemical treatment (corrosion) hard core, hard smashing hard nucleus and other methods, but are not easy to grasp, and the sowing rate of seedlings in the year is low. After two years of experiments in 2001 and 2002, the authors used peach seed to be soaked with clear water and mixed with river sand to germinate seeds in the container. The seedlings were up to 90%. Its specific approach is: In the beginning of the spring solar terms, the stored peach seeds are taken out into the 5 lime sulfur solution (control pests) and removed after 15 minutes. The surface liquid of the seeds is dried, and the attached lime sulfur is washed with water. Clean and continue to put clean water or soak with flowing water. After 1 week, the seeds were filtered out and mixed with 3-4 times the volume of clean river sand or deep sandy loam soil. The humidity of the sand was mixed with water by hand and the ground was scattered. The mixed sand seeds were then placed in a container. The upper part of the container was left with a gap of 1/3 height, and the container mouth was covered with a new film having a thickness of 0.014 mm and was bundled. One week later, the film was taken to check the humidity, temperature, and mildew of the seed. Water or temperature was added to the problem in time and mildew seeds were selected. After inspection and adjustment, the mouth of the container was still clamped (as usual, every 2 days). Half a month later, 90% of the seeds broke and 54% of the seed radicles could stick out. Then you can enter the on-demand session. Peach seeds using this method of first germination and then sow the seed germination rate of up to 97% in the same year, and the emergence of neat, under normal management conditions to the autumn, more than 90% of the stock can reach the knife grafting requirements.
