Abstract:

The quality of melon seeds determines the emergence rate, uniformity of seedlings and robust growth of seedlings, which in turn affects the yield and quality of muskmelon. With the development of melon seedlings in the direction of intensification and scale, the demand for high-quality muskmelon seeds from nurseries or growers is also increasing. Based on the analysis of factors such as planting density, number of pollinations, number of fruits per plant, and harvest time, as well as the characteristics of wood vinegar that could break seed dormancy, we studied the production and processing technology of high-quality seeds of the muskmelon variety Cuixue 7 to provide reference for the production of high-quality seeds of muskmelon.

Key words: muskmelon, seed quality, processing, germination potential, wood vinegar, dormancy
