The skin of the apricot fruit is relatively hard and thick, and the seeds are not easy to absorb water and germinate. Without treatment, the germination time takes about 15-90 days. Therefore, in order to speed up the germination of seeds, a common method before sowing is to mix the seeds of the apricot with 1-2 times the amount of sand, grind them, then soak them in warm water at 40℃-45℃ for 20~30 hours, and then place them in an environment of 25℃ to moisturize and germinate. Then wait until the seeds swell and crack slightly before sowing.

If direct seeding is used, two methods are generally adopted: on-demand or strip sowing. If sowing is done in rows, the row spacing should be 50 cm. After sowing, cover with a layer of fine soil and start watering. That's it.

Seedling transplanting

If seedlings are transplanted, sunbeds are generally used. The seedling raising method is basically the same as the row sowing method, except that there is no need to leave rows, and the seeds should be evenly spread over the entire bed surface. When the seedlings grow 7-8 true leaves and the temperature is stable above 12℃, they can be transplanted and planted. Seedling transplanting saves seeds, and only 300 grams of seeds are needed to grow seedlings per acre of land. The transplanting spacing is 30 cm and the row spacing is 40 cm.
