Seed Trays- Metra of Green babies

Seed sowing is still the most legitimate and assured way to growing new plants. The stages of seed germination and seedling formation are the most sensitive and vulnerable stages of a plant life. For successful germination of seeds , the method of sowing should be accurate. Due to inaccurate sowing practises , many times seeds fail to sprout. Seedling trays are made up of foldable plastic material.

 

There are holes throughout the trays. These cells should be filled with a sewing medium like Soil , Coco peat and sand. Depending on the type of plants, 2-3 seeds are sown in each cell. Trays are watered regularly as the seeds germinate. Young seedlings can be kept in these trays safely for 3-4 weeks under semi shade till they are ready to  be transplanted in a field or in a bigger container.
