Abstract: In this study, using several physical methods such as hot water soaking and mechanical damage seed coat, preliminary exploration were preformed to the reasons in snap bean hard seeds and the methods of break it. The results showed that hard seed phenomenon and seed volume, seed hundred grain weights (weight) of negative correlation. Application cut the seed coat and treated by 80℃ hot water, can break the hard seed and improve the germination rate. From operation is convenient and effective consideration, suggest that 80℃ hot water 2 min were used in the production practice.
