How long does it take for sugarcane seeds to sprout?

Sugarcane is sown in spring, because the temperature is suitable, the germination period is only 15-20 days. If you want sugarcane to germinate quickly, you can choose to soak sugarcane seedlings with lime water. Sugarcane seedlings soaked in diluted lime water 12-24 hours can kill the germs inside and accelerate germination.

Germination time of sugarcane seeds

Sugarcane is sown in spring, because the temperature is suitable, the germination period is only 15-20 days. The price of sugarcane virus-free seeds is 0.7- 1 yuan, and non-virus-free seeds are between a few cents.

Sugarcane seeds germinate quickly.

Clear water to accelerate germination: if sugarcane is planted, soaking method is generally the key to planting technology. To accelerate germination, you can choose to accelerate germination with clear water. When using clean water, you can choose normal temperature water, put the seeds in and soak them for 1-2 days.

Lime water soaking: In addition to accelerating germination with clear water, you can also choose to soak sugarcane seedlings with lime water. You can soak the seedlings in diluted lime water for about 12-24 hours, which can kill the germs inside and accelerate germination.

Sugarcane seeds bloom after germination.

Once the sugarcane blooms, it will supply nutrients to the flowers of the sugarcane, so the sweetness of the sugarcane stems will be reduced. Sugarcane is usually harvested before flowering, and it is generally impossible to see flowering.

Sugarcane germination process

1. Germination period: After sugarcane is sown, sugarcane buds can be seen to germinate after a period of time.

2. Seedling stage: After the sugarcane bud is unearthed, it grows from 1 true leaf to 6-7 true leaves and becomes a seedling.

3. Tillering stage: Sugarcane seedlings germinate from the buds on their basal nodes, which is called tillering. At this time, the seedlings have about 12- 13 true leaves.

4. Extension period: When the external maintenance conditions are suitable, the basal internodes of sugarcane begin to extend, and at this time, the leaf sheaths are opened and the sugarcane stems can be seen.

Maintenance of sugarcane seeds after germination

After sugarcane germinates, there is a water demand law of "more in the middle and less at both ends" in the growth period, that is to say, more watering is needed in the extension period, so the watering amount should be increased at this time, and it is not necessary to water too much in other periods.
