Seedling transplanting

Pricking out of seedlings is a critical stage in the nursery plant growing cycle, which determines the further development of the root system and the general condition of young plants. The transplanting process requires not only care but also proper preparation of the nutrient medium, as well as an understanding of the biological needs of specific crops. The survival rate of transplants, their resistance to adverse conditions, and, consequently, the future yield indicators of vegetable crops or the ornamental value of flower plantings depend directly on the quality of manipulations performed in the early period.

This collection of materials contains practical recommendations that will help agronomists and owners of small farms optimize the process of preparing seedlings. Readers will find detailed information on calculating nutrient soil mixtures, methods of peat liming, and the application of necessary fertilizers.
