Firstly for the seed , our group have choose to plant sweet pumpkin (Cucurbita maxima) by doing transplanting method so we germinate the seed in germinating tray. The transplanting method has many benefit such as enhanced uniformity due to the precise spacing between transplanted crops allows them to mature uniformly without competition from other plants such as in direct seeding. Secondly, it minimize weed pressure by allowing plants less time in the ground and, with many crops, not having plants in the ground when weeds germinate.Transplanting offers great savings in seeds costs because the quantity of seeds used in the greenhouse is significantly lower than in direct seeding. Transplanted crops mature more uniformly, and allow for the luxury of a nearly 100% stand.
Put in water to determine the good seed (sink) and the bad seed (float).
This process is called pre-treatment method.
Peat moss is added into the germinating tray as the germinating medium for the seedlings.
Process of planting the seed in germinating tray.
At first , the seed was eaten by the ants and was replaced.
The defect seedling also be removed.
After 3 weeks of planting in tray.
Then , the plant was replanting on the planting bed.
