Small type seed pellet machine for marigold seeds
for lab using household using 

Complete set of equipment: one pellet host, two drying buckets, and one dust removal system. (4 sets)
Single pill time: 30 minutes
Pill processing capacity: 0.3-0.5kg (However, the specific processing capacity varies depending on the seed and pill ratio, so this data is a relative value for reference only.)
 

Advantages:

1. The whole machine is made of high-strength stainless steel, which is easy to operate and maintain.
2. Working principle: Adopting ultra high speed and uniform speed centrifugal granulation, more accurate, and adjustable water addition. (The pill size can be freely controlled according to one's own needs.)
3. Scope/Application: Household type, for use in scientific research institutions
Simultaneously used for small-scale seed sample testing or pellet production with small quantities and multiple varieties.
4. Operating temperature: The entire pelletizing process is carried out at a temperature below 30 degrees Celsius, ensuring the activity, hardness, and germination rate of the seeds before proceeding with pelletizing production. There are different concerns that the temperature may not affect the seed and reduce its activity.
5.Drying barrel: The time for two drying barrel is 30 minutes.

The main reasons for seed pelleting are as follows:
Firstly, granulation helps to improve the quality and efficiency of sowing. After granulation, the seeds have a more uniform size and shape, which can better adapt to modern precision sowing machinery, achieve precise sowing, ensure the consistency of parameters such as plant spacing, row spacing, and depth, reduce missed sowing and re sowing, and improve land use and planting efficiency.

Secondly, granulation can enhance the flowability of seeds. Ensure smooth flow of seeds in the seeding system of the seeder, avoiding uneven or interrupted seeding caused by adhesion or blockage between seeds.
Furthermore, granulation can have a protective effect on seeds. During the granulation process, fungicides, insecticides, plant growth regulators, nutrients, and other substances can be added to form a pill shell that can provide a relatively stable microenvironment for seed germination and seedling growth, effectively preventing soil pests and diseases from damaging seeds and improving their stress resistance and survival rate.

In addition, granulation can increase the weight and volume of seeds, which helps them settle better into the soil during the sowing process, improving the accuracy and stability of sowing, especially suitable for sowing in windy areas or environments with loose soil texture.
Finally, the seeds after granulation have high recognition, making it easy to distinguish and identify different varieties and batches of seeds, facilitating management and traceability during seed production, processing, sales, and use.

The planting requirements for granulated marigold

Similar to those for ordinary marigold.
The following are some common points:

1. Planting time: Marigolds can be planted in spring or autumn, depending on the climate and season of the region.

2. Soil selection: I prefer fertile and well drained soil. Soil can be improved before planting by adding decomposed compost or organic matter to enhance fertility and drainage.
 

3. Transplanting: Transplant when the seedlings grow to a certain height (usually between 12-18cm in height, with stems reaching 0.5cm, and each seedling containing 3-4 leaves). The day before transplanting, water thoroughly and ensure that the seedlings are well watered by digging large holes. Transplant evenly or top water according to a plant spacing of 30-40cm.

4. Lighting: Marigold is a light loving plant that requires sufficient sunlight, with at least 6 hours of direct sunlight exposure per day. However, it may require appropriate shading during high temperatures in summer.

5. Water management: Keep the soil moist, but avoid over watering to prevent root rot. When watering, it is important to adjust according to the season. Watering should be done in the morning during summer and autumn, and at noon during winter and spring.

6. Fertilization: Regularly apply fertilizers suitable for flowers during the growing season to provide the necessary nutrients for the plants. When fertilizing, attention should be paid to controlling the amount of nitrogen fertilizer used to avoid excessive plant growth without flowering. You can choose to spray a certain amount of urea, potassium dihydrogen phosphate, or organic potassium fertilizer after each flower picking to supplement nutrients.

7. Pruning and management: Regular pruning can promote lateral bud branching growth and maintain plant morphology. After the flowers wither, trim the flower stems and excessively long branches in a timely manner. When the plant height of the seedlings reaches 20-50cm, ridge and soil cultivation can be carried out, but be careful not to bury the top center of the first branch of the seedlings.

8. Prevention and control of pests and diseases: Regularly inspect plants to promptly identify and address pest and disease issues. Common pests and diseases include brown spot disease, root rot disease, wilt disease, powdery mildew, aphids, leaf miner, etc. Adhere to the principle of prevention first, and use appropriate prevention and control methods when necessary, such as manually removing pests or using organic pesticides.

Different varieties of marigolds may have some differences, so it is best to refer to the corresponding planting guidelines for specific varieties and make adjustments based on local conditions during actual planting.
