shallow planting depth


Why is planting depth important?

1. If you plant a seed too deep, it will not get enough sunlight to germinate.If you plant a seed to shallow, it won't have enough soil cover to support the germinating top growth.The rule of thumb on planting seed is plant three times the depth of the size of the seed. If you have seeds that are very tiny, just the barest covering of soil is enough. For larger seeds, the depth varies with the size of the seed.2. It is necessary to sow seeds at an appropriate depth because it ensures the proper and timely germination of the seed. The seed sown at more depth will not be able to germinate on time and the leafs will not appear on the surface on time. This is because it has to cross the layer of soil to come or appear on the surface.Similarly the seeds are not sown superficially on the ground because they can be eaten by the birds or can be easily carried away by wind.


What is the length of time from planting the seed to harvest time?

1 year and 3 moths


Is it true that a good place to plant a seed is underneath the plant it came from?

That depends. If the plant is dead, then planting a seed beneath it can be beneficial, because as the dead plant decays, it will release nutrients into the soil that will help the seed to grow healthily. Planting a seed under a live plant, however, is typically unwise, since either the seed will kill the living plant, or the living plant will kill the seed, or both will survive, but make each other unhealthy.


How long does a seed need to be refrigerated before planting?

Yes seeds that have been refrigerated can be planted as long as it was stored in an air-tight container. Otherwise the seed will have dried out, making germination impossible. If you are not certain, try planting them before throwing them away.

Does the depth at which the seeds are planted have any effect on their germination?

yes, if the seed is planted too deeply it may not germinate at all (conditions not met), or the seedling may run out of "food reserves" before it has had time to reach the surface and the primary leaves to open. normally the ideal planting depth is twice the diameter of the seed
