Batch planting partner - seedling tray

If you want to start planting in bulk, you may want to consider using a nursery pot to aid germination. So, what is a seedling tray?

The nursery pot has become an important tool in the production process of factory seedlings. Whether it is flowers or vegetables, seedling trays are the most fundamental change in modern gardening, providing a guarantee for fast and mass production.

The materials for making seedling trays are generally polystyrene foam,polystyrene,polyvinyl chloride and polypropylene. Manufacturing methods include blow molding and injection molding. Common vegetable and ornamental plant seedling trays are made of polystyrene materials.

The equipment structure of the seedling starter trays:

the hole shapes of the seedling tray are mainly square and round. The matrix contained in the square hole is generally about 30% more than that of the circular hole, the water distribution is also more uniform, and the root system of the seedling is more fully developed.

The size of the standard plug tray is 540mm×280mm, and the number of holes is between 18-800 due to the different diameters of the holes. For cultivation of medium and small seedlings, 72--288-hole plug trays are suitable.

The color of the nursery tray can affect the temperature of the plant's roots. The white polystyrene foam tray has good light reflection, and is mostly used for early seedling breeding in summer and autumn, so as to reflect light and reduce heat accumulation in the roots of seedlings.

In winter and spring, black seedling trays are selected because of their good light absorption, which is beneficial to the greening of the roots of the seedlings. After the seedlings grow up, they should start using the root-controlling rapid seedling raising technology, and move them into the root-controlling rapid seedling raising container to continue growing.

The advantages of seedling trays:

1. Save the amount of seeds and reduce the production cost.

2. The emergence of seedlings is neat and the consistency of plant seedling growth is maintained.

3. It can be used with various manual and automatic seeders, which is convenient for centralized management and improves work efficiency.

4. The root system is not damaged when transplanting, the seedlings are slowed down quickly, and the survival rate is high.

The technology of using nursery tray to cultivate seedlings has matured. The manufacturing process of products such as seedling trays is simple, and the materials used are plastics from a wide range of sources. If used scientifically, the effect of multiple use can be achieved and costs can be saved. It is an indispensable tool in modern agricultural production.
