Oil palm seed pregermination method

Abstract

The invention relates to an oil palm seed pregermination method. The method comprises the following steps: collecting fresh oil palm seeds; removing the epicarp and fiber on the surfaces of the seeds; cleaning surface grease for standby; treating by chemical reagents, disinfecting, packaging, carrying out cold treatment and heat treatment, and then soaking in clean water; and placing at normal temperature until germinating. The oil palm seed pregermination method has the advantages of simple technology and low cost. The mode of soaking by chemical reagents and processing at changed temperature and constant temperature can effectively break through the dormancy of the recalcitrant seeds of the oil palm, accelerate oil palm seeds to quickly and tidily germinate, improve the seed culture planting percent of the oil palm, reduce disease infection on seeds and buds and improve the planting percent and the quality of seedlings.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of biological technology, and in particular relates to a method for accelerating germination of oil palm seeds. Background technique [0002] Oil palm is a perennial monocotyledonous plant. It is a tropical woody oil crop. The pulp and kernel of oil palm are rich in oil. Yunnan, Guangdong, Guangxi. The oil squeezed from palm kernels is called palm oil. Palm oil can be used to make soap, lubricating oil, cosmetics, etc. It is also an auxiliary agent for textile industry, leather industry, and tin plating of iron sheets. After refining, palm oil is edible oil with high nutritional value. , can be used to make margarine. [0003] At present, the vast majority of oil palm planting materials used in production and cultivation are seedlings produced by traditional hybridization methods. Because oil palm seeds are recalcitrant and high-oil-content seeds, the germination rate is extremely low under natural conditions, the ...

Problems solved by technology

The dry heat accelerating germination method is to place the sterilized seeds at 38-40°C, keep the water content of the seeds at 21-22%, take out the germination after 90 days in a closed environment, cool and soak in water for one week to germinate; Under the condition of 38-40°C, keep the water content of the seeds at 80-81%, take out the cooling germination after 90 days of continuous germination in a closed environment; treat oil palm seeds with dry heat and damp heat germination methods, and the germination rate changes greatly, at 50 Between ~80%, the germination time needs 15-40 days, which takes a long time, and the germination is not neat, which increases the production and management costs, and is not conducive to industrial scale production
