The peel of apricot is hard and thick, and the seeds are not easy to germinate by water. The germination time without treatment is about 15-90 days. Therefore, in order to speed up the germination of seeds, the common method before sowing is to mix the seeds of apricot with 1-2 times of sand, grind them, then soak them in 40 ℃ - 45 ℃ warm water for 20-30 hours, and then place them in 25 ℃ environment to moisturize and accelerate the germination. Then wait until the seeds are slightly expanded and split.
If seed direct seeding is adopted, generally two methods are adopted, i.e. on demand or strip seeding. If row sowing is adopted, the row spacing is 50cm. After sowing, cover with a layer of fine soil, and then start pouring some water, so that
If the seedlings are transplanted, they are generally raised in a sunny border. The seedling raising method is basically the same as the strip sowing method, except that there is no need to leave a row, and the whole border surface should be evenly spread. When the seedlings grow 7-8 leaves and the temperature is stable above 12 ℃, they can be transplanted and planted. Seedling transplanting saves seeds. Only 300 grams of seeds are needed per mu. Transplanting plant spacing is 30cm, row spacing is 40cm.
