First of all, we need to choose a suitable land for sowing. Although Seabuckthorn's requirement for soil is not very strict, it doesn't like excessively sticky soil. If there is no suitable land, you can also use seedling box for sowing
This is to make the soil structure and surface in good condition, improve the fertility of the sown soil, and provide good conditions for the growth of sown plants and your land management, which can never be ignored!
Fertilization should be carried out in the spring of the second year. Rotten farmyard manure, pitching pond mud and diammonium phosphate are all the favorite seeds of Hippophae rhamnoides. The depth of application is about 10cm. But we should pay attention to mixing fertilizer and soil evenly, so as to avoid the influence of burning roots on the emergence of seabuckthorn.
Before sowing, we should select the seeds carefully. We must pay attention to the freshness of the seeds. There are no diseases and insect pests.
Seabuckthorn can be planted in spring, summer and autumn, but the best choice is spring.
During germination, 0.5% potassium permanganate solution was used for disinfection for two hours, and then germination was carried out. Put the treated seeds into gunny bags and put them on the leeward and sunny ground. Turn them two or three times a day and wash them with cold water once a day to keep a certain temperature. When 30% - 40% of the seeds are cracked, they can be sown.
In order to facilitate the healthy growth of seedlings and your management, seabuckthorn should be planted with a large row spacing and a wider sowing width. The row spacing is about 23cm and the sowing width is about 13cm. Of course, if you are sowing in the seedling box, you can skip this step. The bottom of the ditch can be leveled, and the seeds can be evenly spread in the sowing field. The fine sand soil of about 2.3cm is used for covering. Press again to make the seeds contact with the soil more. After sowing, it's best to cover a layer of grass or film. When all the seedlings are unearthed, they can be removed by stages, so as not to burn the tender seedlings which are produced by hard work.
After sowing in spring, always spray water to keep moisture.
After that, we can wait for the emergence of seabuckthorn.
