How to mix peanut seeds with dressings? Detailed explanation of methods and precautions

Peanut is an important economic crop in China, with a very wide planting area, and peanut seed dressing is an important way to achieve high peanut yields. It can not only reduce the occurrence of pests and diseases, but also effectively prevent seedling death and plant death. At the same time, it can also regulate water quality and promote high yield and high quality. So what are the peanut seed dressing methods? What should be noted? Let's take a look together with the editor.

1. Chemical seed dressing

The chemicals used for chemical seed dressing can be selected according to the pests and diseases commonly occurring in the local area. Generally, thiophanate-methyl, carbendazim, seed dressing fungicide and other chemicals can be used. The amount of chemical can be 0.3%-0.5% of the seed weight for seed dressing, which can effectively prevent root rot and seedling death. Now phoxim emulsifiable concentrate and dimethoate emulsifiable concentrate used for seed dressing can effectively control underground pests; using kerosene or diesel at 0.1%-0.2% of the seed weight for seed dressing can effectively prevent underground pests and birds and animals from damaging the seeds and improve the emergence rate.

2. Seed dressing with water-retaining agent

Peanut water-retaining agent is a kind of polymer water-absorbing branched material, a very excellent water-retaining material. It can absorb water hundreds of times its own weight and is suitable for use in dry and poor land, generally increasing yield by 10%. The method is to moisten the seeds, evenly sprinkle 150-300 grams per mu onto the seeds, and then stir evenly, or apply a coating. It can also be put into clean water, stirring while adding, so that the water-retaining agent quickly absorbs water and swells until it forms a paste, then pour in the seeds, stir constantly, and after mixing evenly spread thin and dry for sowing.

3. Seed dressing with seed coating agent

Peanut seeds can also be coated with a seed coating agent, which can provide excellent sterilization and pest control, improve seed vigor, avoid or reduce the impact of adverse environments, and also help achieve uniform and strong seedlings and promote early seedling growth.

4. Precautions

Try to choose high-efficiency and low-toxicity seed coating agents to ensure safe seedling emergence. When dressing seeds, first pour the chemical into a container, add a small amount of water and stir, then pour in the seed dressing fertilizer, and finally mix the seeds evenly. When the seed dressing agent can mix the seeds evenly, the less water added the better, because too much water easily causes the seeds to wrinkle and lose their skins. Whether by manual stirring or mechanical stirring, under the premise of mixing the seeds evenly, the shorter the stirring time the better. In addition, after seed dressing, spread them out to dry; do not smother the seeds and do not expose them to strong sunlight.
