Amaranth is a vegetable that many people love to eat. The growth cycle of amaranth is relatively short and it can usually be harvested in about forty days. From sowing to growing 4-6 true leaves, the plant can be harvested when it grows to 10-15 cm in height. How many days does it usually take for Amaranth to germinate? The germination time of Amaranth is affected by many factors, including temperature, humidity, seed treatment, etc. 1. Seed soaking and germination Soak amaranth seeds in cold water for about 24 hours. Scrub them several times during the soaking process to facilitate water absorption. In winter and early spring, take out the soaked seeds, wash them with clean water, drain them, wrap them with breathable gauze, cover them with a wet towel, and place them at 15-20℃ for germination. When 30-50% of the seeds turn white, they can be sown. In other seasons, direct sowing is used for cultivation. 2. Seedling time Generally, seedlings emerge 7-12 days after sowing in early spring, and 3-5 days in summer and autumn. 3. Management after sowing After sowing, if amaranth seeds are treated with germination, they will germinate in just 2-3 days. When the seedlings have 2-3 leaves, thinning out is necessary. During the seedling stage, attention should be paid to inter-row cultivation and weeding to prevent weeds from competing for nutrients. At the same time, you need to apply fertilizer multiple times, use more nitrogen fertilizer, and add some farmyard manure to keep the soil moist during the growing period. 4. Temperature influence Amaranth seeds begin to germinate at 10~12℃, and the optimal germination temperature is 22~24℃. When the temperature exceeds 35℃, both germination and emergence are affected. 5. Field management Amaranth seeds usually germinate after a week. If they are treated with germination acceleration, they will sprout in just 2-3 days. To sum up, the germination time of Amaranth is generally about 3-12 days. The specific time depends on the specific conditions during sowing, such as whether germination treatment is carried out and the ambient temperature at that time. Under suitable conditions, amaranth seeds can germinate quickly.
