How to plant spring vegetables? Master these three points and you are set
As temperatures rise in spring, it is a great season for planting vegetables. Most vegetables sold in summer are sown and raised as seedlings at this time. As the saying goes, good seedlings give half the harvest, and strong seedlings give half again more - this shows how important it is to grow strong seedlings in vegetable planting. Now let's take a look at the three key points of spring vegetable planting.
1. Warm water to speed up germination
Although spring temperatures are gradually rising, the weather is still changeable and there are quite a few cold spells. Seeds need warmth to sprout, and low temperatures may delay germination or, in serious cases, cause the seeds to rot. So for vegetable seeds to sprout smoothly and to shorten the sprouting time as much as possible, they should be soaked in warm water for 4-5 hours before sowing. Different seeds can each go in their own container to avoid mix-ups. The amount of seeds to soak depends on the size of the container - not too many and not too few. For seeds that take longer to germinate, you can also give them prompt germination treatment after soaking.
2. Reasonable protection
Before protecting the seeds, you can dress them with New High Lipid Film. This keeps them warm and moist, effectively raises the seed germination rate, makes the seedlings grow strong, and also repels underground pests and isolates viral infection. When sowing, pay attention to spacing, decided by the type of vegetable. For example, sprouting vegetables can be sown a bit more densely, while root and stem vegetables need to be sown more thinly. For summer sowing, it is best to choose morning or evening, avoiding the hottest part of the day. After sowing, scatter a 1-2 cm layer of fine soil, then water appropriately to help the seeds sprout sooner.
3. Fertilizer and water management
Reasonable watering and fertilizing can prevent vegetables from becoming too dry as they grow, which would otherwise affect the crop's morning growth. Timely application of vegetable stem-strengthening agent and New High Lipid Film can make vegetable seedlings grow lushly, with thick stems and plump leaves, giving high yield and good quality and extending the fresh-keeping period. In addition, growers should carry out reasonable planting out according to the growth of the vegetables. Watering and fertilizing are good for vegetable growth and improve both yield and quality.
