Nursery and Nursery

Tanman seedbed seedbed clove include media preparation and maintenance of the seedbed, whereas clove tanman nursery seedlings include preparation, maintenance until the seedlings are ready to be planted.

 
Seed Preparation

In the selection of seeds for seed should be performed on fruit of the clove where the seeds are ripe enough physiological maturity. Ditjenbun and Balitro determine characteristics such as good seed cotyledon fresh green, 800 seed weight of about 1 kg, free hamapenyakit, no slightest sign of black, and derived from the fruit contains only one seed. Before planted the seeds stored in plastic bags stuffed with cotton wool soaked with a solution of 2.4 D, 0.5 ppm and sealed, stored at low temperature.

Peeling the skin of fruit before seedbed dillakukan carefully so that seeds were not injured skin. After stripping done soaking for 24 hours, followed by washing.

 
Seedbed

Land for persemain should be processed as deep as 20 cm, cleaned of weeds. Map a-map the seedbed needs to make circuitry widths from 1 to 1.20 m, nd every plot bounded by the trench. Clove pods placed in the hole with the candidate roots facing upwards and half pod will find in the ground with a distance of seedlings 5x5cm. Use mulch on the seedbed can maintain the humidity and the local temperature becomes more constant. Watering is done every day to keep the seedlings moist and do not die of drought.

After 1-2 month-old seedlings with 4-7 leaves, the number of green leaves to dark green, shiny, seedlings can be transferred to the nursery maintenance.


Seeding

For breeding, need to be made of the same size bed with bed dipersemaian. Seeding can be done in several ways, namely (a) planting in the ground without a bag, (2) seedlings in a bamboo basket, and (3) seedling in a plastic bag. Each has advantages and disadvantages. Media nurseries should be quite fertile, loose, do not hurry memadaat, and free of pests and diseases.

Maintenance at the time consisted of pemulsaan nurseries, creation of shelter, pest control and fertilizing.
