Step 1: Start with the 15 – 20 lbs./acre. Seeds need to be sundried for 1 to 2 days before soaking. This helps them to absorb water more easily, which is important for the germination process. After sun drying, place the seeds in a clean bucket or container and cover them with lukewarm water. Allow them to soak for 12 hours before planting.
Step 2: If you want to test if your seed is good, the farmer puts the seed in clean water for 4 to 8 hours. Floating seeds are flat seeds, remove them. Keep the seeds below. This will help you determine if your seed is good.
Step 3: Soak the seeds.
