What Are The Advantages And Disadvantages Of Container Seedlings Do You Know?

[1] container seedlings have a good root system. Reduce the seedlings, due to seedling, packaging, transport, false planting and other operations on the root system damage and water loss, strong seedling vigour, thus improving the survival rate of transplanting seedlings, planting no seedling period, especially in the arid areas of our country using the container seedling transplantation, the survival rate is higher. General seedbed nursery seedlings need 8 to 12 months to be planted out of the nursery, but the use of container seedling nursery, only 3 to 4 months or less time can be out of the nursery. The whole process of nursery can be implemented mechanical operation. For seedling factory to create the conditions. Greatly save time, land and labour.

[2] Container seedling planting time is relatively long, can be planted throughout the year. And container seedlings after planting, in the use of maintenance products, the amount of very little, can save a lot of cost.

[3] In the container seedling nursery each container can be sown only 1 ~ 3 seeds, cultivated out of the seedling is more neat, robust, and can save seedling seed. Such as camphor pine per kilogram of seed with container seedling production of up to 120,000 plants, while in the nursery nursery is only 30,000 plants, an increase of 4 times.

[4] Container seedling can be mechanised, and container seedling in the cultivation of seedlings, you can choose some not so good land, through the use of good soil in the container for seedling, can save more fertile land for other production.

[5] Container seedlings can be combined with greenhouses without seasonal limitation. For some small seedlings in container nursery can be combined with greenhouse greenhouse facilities for their nursery, can meet the seedlings of temperature, humidity, light artificial control, to do early nursery, prolong the growth period of seedlings. It is conducive to cultivating more seedlings and planting seedlings in normal seasons. Container seedlings can be planted all year round, which is convenient for reasonable arrangement of labour and planned phased planting.

Container nursery although there are many advantages, but there are also certain disadvantages, such as container seedling nursery unit area yield is relatively low, the cost is also higher, the preparation and processing of nutrient soil and other operational techniques to be more complex than the general nursery, at the same time on the size of the container specifications, fertiliser, watering, control of pests and diseases, and other measures, all need to be nurseryman's accumulated experience. Seedling yield per unit area is lower, nursery technology is complicated, and the cost of nursery is higher than that of bare-root seedlings.
