- information about the variety and features of agricultural technology;
- the number of seeds in the package;
- seed germination in percent, with the indication of 100% it is better not to acquire, this is an obvious deception;
- evidence of readiness of seeds for planting will be the inscription: "Do not pickle the seeds," this is done by the seller;
- if there is no inscription on dressing, treat the seeds with a 2-3% solution of potassium permanganate.
In preparing the land for growing seedlings, special attention to the following conditions:
- the soil should be with good drainage so that water does not stagnate at the roots of the seedlings;
- it is good to take the land on which zucchini, dill, parsley, carrots were previously grown;
- fertilize the land by applying complex fertilizers, in the absence of such an opportunity, apply wood ash.
The seeds are sown in the prepared container, with their insertion to a depth of 2.0-2.5 centimeters. Watering is done at room temperature.. With the appearance of 2-3 leaves, pick a seedling, paying attention to the appearance.
Some gardeners note the yellowing of the lower leaves of the seedlings. This indicates a lack of trace elements in the feeding of seedlings. A picking will help you determine the following indicators:
- Selection of the strongest seedlings. When picking, remove weak plants.
- Seedlings will cease to be pulled out, as a transplant slows down the growth of the plant.
- After the picking, the root system develops more actively, the growth of the lateral roots increases.
After the cold seasonwarming the earth to 14-16 degrees Celsius seedlings can be planted in the ground. A week before planting, it is better to temper the seedlings by taking them out to the open air during the daytime.
Before placing the seedlings in the wells, you can make feeding complex mineral fertilizer or add a handful of shattered eggshell.
The appearance of yellowness on the seedlings may be due to several reasons:
- The lack of trace elements - nitrogen, zinc, iron, potassium. Fertilizing complex preparations containing these trace elements will help. For example, "Effecton", "Agricola - Forward" or simple, well-known superphosphate.
- Damage to the roots when picking or changing the temperature mode causes yellowing of the lower leaves. No additional action required. After 3-4 days, the seedling will cope with the problem.
- Yellowness can occur with a lack of lighting or a small amount of earth in the root coma of a plant. Try to transplant in a spacious container or increase the coverage of seedlings.
After transferring the seedlings to the prepared wells, further care is to timely watering with warm water, tying the plant to a pole or trellis, removing weeds and stepsons.
It is also necessary to periodically loosen the ground in the holes and 2-3-fold feeding during the period of growth and the formation of fruits on the bushes.
