True And False Container Seedlings, How To Distinguish?

Containerised seedlings and fake containerised seedlings are two concepts that are related and different.

Container seedlings, as the name suggests, is the use of a variety of 'container' cultivated seedlings. Its root system is formed in the container (such as sowing or cuttings in the container), there is no short-term stagnant growth phenomenon of bare-root seedlings after planting, there is no seedling slowing down period, the root resumption of growth is very fast, which is conducive to the initial growth of seedlings.

Above ground container seedlings

After planting, the peripheral root system is in direct contact with the soil, and the environment around the roots exceeds the original conditions, so they do not need to be slowed down after planting and directly enter the rapid growth period.

When planting without removing the non-woven bag, the top and bottom of the three to five cuts can be.

Anti seasonal construction, long distance transport can ensure the survival rate. Container seedlings can be planted for a longer period of time, and can be planted all year round, and the amount of maintenance products used after planting is very small, which can save a lot of costs.

Higher survival rate than ground-planted container seedlings. Containerised seedlings can be combined with greenhouses and are not limited by the season. For some small seedlings in container nursery can be combined with greenhouse greenhouse facilities, its nursery, can meet the seedlings of temperature, humidity, light artificial control, to do early nursery, prolong the growth period of seedlings, is conducive to the cultivation of more seedlings and seedlings planted in the normal season.

Container nursery seedlings can be mechanised, and container nursery seedlings to cultivate seedlings can be selected not so good land, through the use of good soil in the container for nursery, saving more fertile land for other production.

In container seedling nursery each container can be sown only 1~3 seeds, cultivated seedlings are more neat and robust, can save seedling seed.

Pseudo-planted container seedlings

One is a fake planting container seedlings planted in the ground, the most common method is to dig up the seedling ball, with non-woven fabric and other materials on the ball of the earth for winding, and then backfill soil, so that the seedling, although the root is broken, but it is still in the ground, the growth of the growth of although it will be affected by some of the effects of the ball of soil within the root system will not be affected.

The second is the seedling pseudo-planting in containers, container pseudo-planting seedlings containers mainly include beauty planting bags, nutrient pots, root controllers. The advantage is that it can be transplanted in the opposite season, and there is no slowing down period, which is currently the most common type of pseudo-planting. Currently, some containerised seedlings are often buried in the ground and managed in the same way as in-ground seedlings.

Container seedlings have many advantages, but there are some disadvantages, such as container seedlings seedlings per unit area yield is relatively low, the cost is also relatively high, the preparation of nutrient soil and processing and other operational techniques to be more complex than the general seedling nursery, at the same time on the size of the container specifications, fertiliser, watering, pests and diseases, and other measures, need to be nurserymen's accumulated experience.
