Sowing carrot laborious affair: small seeds, the germination of their long-term. I used to have a carrot seedlings appear only after two or three weeks. In the yard in mid-late May, and the most popular and marketable vegetable only gave sprouts. Not good at all. I had to find their own methods.
That's right the saying that you reap what you sow. In many ways, the future crop depends on the quality and preparation of planting materials. Rapid germination of carrot interfere essential oils, which are concentrated closer to the shell.
From these relieves presoaking in hot water with a splash of hydrogen peroxide.
I usually planting three varieties of this vegetable to mature at different times. For the experiment, took the early-maturing varieties.
- Poured seed pack in a small plastic bottle and poured warm to almost hot water (40 - 43 degrees).
- I added one drop of hydrogen peroxide, which also sanitizes planting material.
- Closed tight lid and for two hours periodically shaking the container.
- When completely exhausted small grains settle to the bottom of the bottle, I merged the water through a sieve. He poured them on a sheet of white paper and leave to dry.
The important point!
A bed for all the experiments I prepare in advance and harbored a black polyethylene film to warm the soil. This procedure was carried out in April, as soon as the snow melted from the ground.
Clean and warm bed for planting cold-resistant culture is ready!
- Grooves previously spilled hot water with potassium permanganate, so you are not tied carrot fly and other pests.
- Crops are sealed prihlopyvaniem, to leave no voids.
- He hid the same black film - warm soil promotes seed germination.
- Under the film looked in a week, and was very surprised: sprouting, like soldiers in a pale green festive uniform, stood straight at attention ryadochkami. their growth was already 2 - 2.5 cm.
It turns out, they went up to two days before! This means that my carrot rose over 5 days! I think that played a big role also that seeds have got the cool, ordered themhere, And you can come in handy.
