Pretreatment One of three pre-seeding treatments can be performed on drumstick seeds.
1. Soak the seeds in water overnight before planting
2. Crack the Shells Before Planting
3. Remove shell and plant kernels only by nursery technique, soak these seeds in water for 24 hours to increase instant germination. Remove the soaked seeds, place them on a wet paper towel or cotton cloth. Wrap them and put a knot around the neck. Store in a dark place and keep them in a pot. It will take a week for the seeds to germinate. Make sure the paper towel/cloth is wet. Once they germinate, plant the sprouted seeds in a four-inch earthen pot or poly bag.
