1. Plant Propagation Chapter 5

2. Learning Targets  I can identify various 2 types of Plant Propagation?  I can identify 2 and explain ways of seeding?

3. Plant Propagation  Reproduction of new plants from seeds or vegetative parts of plants.

4. Sexual Propagation  Reproduction of plants with the use of seeds.

5. Seedlings  Plants grown from seeds.

6. Seed Production  Located in North Pacific  Dry Climates  Less Disease

7. Harvesting and Storing Seeds  Seed harvested to soon or to late will reduce germination.

8. Harvesting Seed Techniques  Mechanical Equipment

9. Harvesting Seed Techniques  Hand Harvesting

10. Cleaning Seeds  To prepare seeds for the following years crop.

11. Cleaning Seeds  Hand Cleaning with water.

12. Cleaning Seeds  Mechanical Cleaning

13. Storing Seeds  Store in a Cool Dry Place.  Glass Jar  Plastic Bag  Try and use all seed the following year.

14. Testing and Labeling of Seeds  Best seed saves time and money.  State Law Regulates shipment of sales of seed.

15. Seed Label Tag Information  Trueness of name  Origin  Germination %  Pure Seed %  Weed Seeds %  Inert Materials %

16. Percent Germination  % of seeds that will sprout and grow.

17. Percent Germination Test  Place seeds on towel. 100 seeds  Keep moist  Keep at 85 Deg.  Count number of seeds that sprout.  80 out of 100 Germinate = 80%

18. Direct Seeding  Seeds are planted directly into the soil.  Plants easily germinated.

19. Direct Seeding Examples  Flowers  Vegetables  Lawn Seed

20. Success of Direct Seeding 5-Factors  Site Selection  Seedbed Preparation  Planting Date  Planting Depth and Space  Moisture

21. Indirect Seeding  Seeds that are planted in greenhouses.  Planted in Flats or Containers

22. Seed Coat Dormancy  The seed coat will not allow moisture to the seed.

23. Scarification  Seed coat is broken or softened.

24. Embryo Dormancy  Seeds must be cooled in soil at 32-50 deg.

25. Stratification  Seeds must be kept cool for a certain period of time.

26. Germination Media  Plastic Containers  Peat Pots  Needs proper drainage and aeration

27. Seed Flats  Soil needs to be level.  Water soil and allow to drain.

28. Planting in Rows  Advantages:  Easy Transplanting  Reduced chance of disease  Disadvantages  Takes more space

29. Broadcasting Seeds  Adv:  Easy to do  Less Expense  Disadvantage:  Harder to observe  Less chance of germination

30. Mechanical Seeding  More expensive  More accurate seeding rate

31. Asexual Propagation  Reproduction of new plants from the stem, leaves, or roots of a parent plant.  Clone Plant

32. Stem Cuttings

33. Leaf Cuttings

34. Root Cuttings
