What’s transplantation?
Transplant is a small plant that passes a part of its growth period in a suitable and controlled environment and is transported to the main bed at the right time.
- Why do we use the production method of transplantation?
- We do transplantation method since it has the following advantages:
- Saving water
- Uniform seed germination
- Eliminating changes due to direct seed crops
- Accelerating cultivating date
- Increasing the growth period in areas which have short-term growth
- Increasing performance and productivity in water consumption
Transplantation can be made in 2 types: ball and bare root. Ball transplantation has numerous advantages compared to bare root transplantation. Bare root growth occurs in a closed system, which causes optimal root growth, as well as production of large amount of hairy roots.

Factors to be considered in the production of mechanized transplants:
- The seed source.
- Tray, cell number and size
- Average growth
- Nutrition
- Light
- Temperature
- Humidity
- Reinforcing transplantation
