How to plant sea buckthorn seeds? Learn the correct planting method
Before sowing sea buckthorn seeds, seed soaking and germination should be done well. When germinating, first disinfect with a 0.5% potassium permanganate aqueous solution for 2 hours, then carry out germination. When 30-40% of the seeds have cracked open, they can be sown. When sowing, evenly scatter the seeds within the sowing width, cover with fine sandy soil and press lightly, then wait for the seedlings to emerge.
1. Sowing time: Sea buckthorn can be sown in all three seasons of spring, summer and autumn, but spring is preferable. In spring, when the temperature at a soil depth of 5 cm reaches 9-10°C, it can germinate. Autumn sowing is generally done late, but germination is not needed; only dry seeds are sown.
2. Seed germination: Before sowing sea buckthorn, seed soaking and germination should be done well. When germinating, first disinfect with a 0.5% potassium permanganate aqueous solution for 2 hours, then carry out germination treatment. When 30-40% of the seeds have cracked open, they can be sown.
3. Sowing method: Sea buckthorn should be sown with wide row spacing and a broad sowing width. Evenly scatter the seeds within the sowing width, cover with fine sandy soil and press lightly.
