The role and specific method of tomato sprout refining at low temperature
Tomato is a nutritious vegetable, and its low-temperature sprouting treatment is an important link in the production process, which has multiple functions. First of all, low-temperature budding can improve the viability of seeds. Under low temperature conditions, the seeds enter a dormant state, which reduces metabolic activity and helps to maintain the vitality of the seeds. By refining the germination at low temperature, the vitality of the seeds can be stimulated, and their growth rate and germination rate can be improved.
Secondly, low-temperature germination helps to improve the stress resistance of seeds. In a low temperature environment, seeds will gradually adapt and increase their resistance to adverse environments, such as high temperatures, drought, etc. Seeds treated with low temperature germination showed stronger adaptability during the growth process and could maintain good growth in different environments.
The specific method is as follows: the seeds are placed in a low temperature environment with a temperature of 0-5, maintaining a certain humidity, and subjected to low temperature treatment for 7-10 days. During this time, check the humidity and temperature of the seeds regularly to ensure that they are in the right conditions. The seeds are then transferred to room temperature for germination. The germination temperature is controlled at 25-30, the humidity is kept suitable, and germination can generally occur after 2-3 days.
It is worth noting that the temperature and humidity should be strictly controlled during the low-temperature germination process to avoid damage or loss of vigor caused by too high or too low temperature. At the same time, attention should also be paid to controlling temperature and humidity during germination to ensure smooth germination of seeds.
In summary, the effect of low-temperature budding of tomato is mainly reflected in improving seed vigor and stress resistance, and the growth of seeds and adaptation to different environments can be promoted through appropriate treatment methods.
