Features: Some of the seed 1000-grain weights introduced in this book are based on reference data from previous studies, while others were determined by the authors. Variations in seed weight within the same flower category can be influenced by factors such as different varieties, seed development stages, and even seed collection time and. Therefore, the seeds you purchase or collect yourself may differ slightly from those described in this book. The seeding rates per square meter for seedbeds introduced in this book are determined based on the current status of seeds in production and are also the result of the authors' from practical production experience. When applying, you may adjust them accordingly. The germination days for dry seed sowing in the book are based on the authors' actual observations over the years. Every spring, we conduct seedling trials for hundreds of crop varieties. Due to limited time and resources, we only sow dry seeds for a small number of species, while the majority are not pre-soaked or pre-germinated. It should be noted that the authors do not generally recommend sowing dry seeds for most flowers. Sowing seeds after pre-soaking and germination can shorten germination time and may even improve germination rates for some species. If you purchase seeds without, it is generally not advisable to sow them dry. To facilitate better operation and replication by readers, this book provides as much quantitative description as possible. Many of these numbers are based on previous studies, while others are derived from the authors' of flower cultivation experience and experimental summaries. If the data from previous studies can guide readers in seedling trials, and the authors' summarized data can serve as a starting point for further exploration, it will be our greatest satisfaction.
