Prepare a basin of half boiled warm water, about 50 degrees, and soak the seeds in water. The water does not need constant temperature. Let the water cool naturally during the soaking process. After the water is completely cool, soak it for 12 hours. After soaking, take it out, put it in the moist sandy soil for storage, spray water to keep it moist. Find a piece of soil with loose soil, good drainage and sufficient fertility, dig a ditch about one centimeter deep, with the row spacing controlled at 20-30 cm, spray water on the soil surface until it is wet, sow the seeds, and cover the soil.

I. seed selection

The fruit that can be used for seed needs to be mature. From the perspective of outdated colors, deep purple mulberry can be used for sowing after being picked and rubbed to remove pulp, leaving seeds washed. If you can't sow in time, you can prepare the sand and store it with wet sand.

2. Sowing time

This time is relatively free, spring and summer and autumn can be, but summer and autumn sowing is generally the fresh seeds picked in the same year, the seedling rate is high. Autumn is the winter sowing for the seeds stored in sand the previous year.

3. Seed treatment

1. Prepare a pot of half boiled warm water, about 50 degrees, and soak the seeds in water. The water does not need constant temperature. Let the water cool naturally in the process of soaking. After the water is completely cool, soak for 12 hours..

V. management

1. Thinning

Observe the growth of seedlings. When the seedlings grow to three or four centimeters, they need to be inter seedlings. The diseased and weak seedlings with poor growth momentum can be pulled out, and those with uneven spacing can be supplemented, so as to leave better plants through nutrition. The distance between the two seedlings is between 10 cm and 15 cm. After confirmation, the seedlings can be fixed

2. Fertilization

In the seedling stage, we should pay attention to timely watering, and add fertilizer in time when the soil fertility is not enough. At the same time, we should pay attention to the timely cleaning of weeds in the field and the treatment of diseases and insect pests. When fertilizing, pay attention to the drugs on the leaves. Don't hurt the silkworms who eat the leaves because of spraying the drugs.
