The second disinfectant eliminates organisms present within the seeds. For this hot water, formaldehyde and mercuric chloride are effective.

Nursery soil should be drenched before sowing of seeds. |
The vegetable seeds should be sown in nursery beds in lines at 1.5-2 cm. below surface soiled at a distance of 5-6 cm. The distance from line to line should be 10-15 cm. After sowing cover the seeds with sieved compost very lightly. The beds should be watered with a sprinkler. The above distance from plant to plant or row to row may be changed according to size of seeds, kind of vegetables and type of seedlings. Similarly the depth of covering with compost varies with the kind of seed. Very fine seeds may be dusted over the nursery bed. Covering of other seeds may be one to two times their minimum diameter. Over watering creates high humidity and poor aeration and contributes to “damping off” disease. |
