How does the bitter gourd seed germination?

[ Agricultural Products Net] Because bitter gourd seeds have thicker seed coats and are not easy to absorb water, using warm water scalding and soaking seeds to promote germination can promote seed water germination, meet the temperature conditions of seed germination, increase seed germination rate, and kill seed surface. Pathogens, eggs, to achieve the purpose of seed disinfection.

Selection of bitter melon seed germination time:

Soaking seeds and germination should be carried out 5 to 6 days before sowing.

Bitter melon seed germination method one:

Prepare warm water of about 55 °C, in a boiling water bottle or other container that can be kept warm; put the bitter gourd seeds in a gauze bag, wash with water, gently wipe the seeds while washing, remove the material that is difficult to see through the surface; Soak the net seeds in the prepared warm water, keep for 10 minutes, stir constantly, then add cold water, reduce the water temperature to 25 °C ~ 30 °C, soak for more than 12 hours, remove the seeds, wrap them in a damp cloth, and put them into the box. Inside, cover with a damp cloth and place it in a place that can maintain a temperature of about 30 ° C and a sufficient humidity.

Bitter melon seed germination method two:

Soak the seeds in warm water at about 55 °C, continue to soak for more than 12 hours after natural cooling, remove the seeds and wash them in clean water, use a tooth or needle-nosed pliers to break the umbilical part of bitter gourd seeds slightly, and then place them at 30 °C. The germination is carried out at a temperature of about right and left and a place with sufficient humidity, and the seed can be sown when the seed bud is about 3 mm.
