A seed box, or flat, provides space to grow multiple seedlings in a single container. These shallow boxes are typically between 3 and 4 inches deep, which provides enough root space for young plants.

To clean seed boxes, first empty them of any leftover dirt or plant remains. Then prepare a solution of nine parts water and one part bleach, a 10% bleach solution, recommends UConn Home & Garden Education Center . Use this bleach solution to thoroughly clean and sanitize the boxes.

Seed box method is the process of germinating your seedlings in one flat tray. Usually 3–4 inches deep. Imagine I have Parsley seeds and I want to germinate them in a large quantity and then transfer the seedlings to the ground and plant them in a uniform spacing.

Seedbox Method: A good seedbox can be made from 1/2″ wood and should be 3-4″ deep and an easy to handle size (no bigger than 16 x 24″ or so) with drainage holes in the bottom. A soil-compost, rice hull-soil, or other loose and well-drained mix is used.

Whether you’re rearranging the garden or starting with plants from a garden shop, the basic steps of transplanting are the same.

1. Remove the plant from its pot.
2. Inspect the roots.
3. Place the plant in a prepared hole.
4. Firm the soil around the plant with your hands.
5. Water well.

Some advantages for direct seeding is that they mature faster than direct seeding. Some disadvantages are that direct seeding leaves the plants open to pests like birds and rats. Some advantages to indirect seeding is that you can control how the plant grows and shapes by potting it.

Disadvantages of direct seeding include: Less reliable establishment than for seedlings on some sites and across seasons. There is a requirement of some species for a special seed treatment before sowing. There is a low survival rate of viable seed.

How is direct seeding on dry land done? In rainfed anddeepwater ecosystems, farmers often sow onto a dry soil surface and then incorporated the seed either by ploughing or by harrowing….Broadcast = sowing seed by scattering it

• Broadcasting.
• Drilling.
• Dibbling (hill planting)

Disadvantages of Transplanting:

• Labour cost is high.
• Seedlings are exposed to possible injury during handling.
• Plants tend to grow more slowly than direct seeding because of recovery time after transplanting,

You’re supposed to transplant seedlings at an optimal stage of growth. If done at the right time, this process ensures that plants enjoy a higher survival rate and lower incidence of disease. Because all the seedlings are raised in a nursery, you can maintain the purity of your land by de-weeding it beforehand.

Direct seeded crops require less labor and tend to mature faster than transplanted crops. In this method, plants are not subjected to stresses such as being pulled from the soil and re-establishing fine rootlets. However, they have more competition from weeds.

Transplanting Benefits Plants that have already developed roots and other systems are stronger, making them less vulnerable to outside conditions. For example, delicate seeds have a more difficult time battling with weeds for space and surviving unexpectedly harsh weather.

In agriculture and gardening, transplanting or replanting is the technique of moving a plant from one location to another. This is common in market gardening and truck farming, where setting out or planting out are synonymous with transplanting.

(i) The process of transplantation helps in planting seedling at a proper distance from one another so that plants can get obtain adequate amount of water, nutrients and sunlight. (ii) The process of transplantation helps to select only healthy seedlings for the cultivation of crops.

Replanting trees prevents soil erosion, restores wildlife habitats and reduces fire risks; it engages local communities in conservation; and it contributes to the global fight to stop climate change. The first contains over 3,000 trees from small seedlings to young saplings that are collected from the forest.

Reforestation can be used to undo and rectify the effects of deforestation and improve the quality of human life by absorbing pollution and dust from the air, rebuilding natural habitats and ecosystems, mitigating global warming via biosequestration of atmospheric carbon dioxide, and harvesting for resources.

Reforestation refers to the replanting of trees on land that has previously had trees, but where these were cut down recently.

The planting of trees in an area in which forests were destroyed is called reforestation. The planted trees should generally be of same species which were cut down from the forest during deforestation. We should plant at least as many trees as have been cut down. This is called natural reforestation.

Reforestation helps in preserving various species of animals and plants that are affected due to the deforestation process. The importance of reforestation is not only limited to the environment but also helps in preserving wildlife. Reforestation has the potential to restore various habitats and save many lives.

: employing a technique of clearing land by slashing and burning underbrush and trees and plowing the ashes under for fertilizer well-known kaingin system which has been enormously destructive of valuable timber— A. L. Kroeber.

Researchers from Melbourne and Copenhagen believe that swidden agriculture also known as “kaingin” in the Philippines is not actually a destructive farming system that many experts had condemned for the last 60 or so years.

It is illegal in the Philippines under the Forestry Reform Code of the Philippines of 1975 (PD 705). Kedtag said his office has sent foresters to areas where kaingin is being practiced “to remind and educate farmers about the danger of this system.”

Kaingin System Some farmers of our country practice the burn type of agriculture for agricultural purposes. Destruction of forest and wooded areas through Kaingin system and fires have deprived birds of their nesting places. Animal’s habitat was destroyed, thus, it endangered wild animals. Soil erosion happened.

The purpose of transplanting is to give each plant more space. Then the plant can develop its roots and leaves better. The distance left between plants varies according to their size. – water the transplanted seedling thoroughly.

The process of transplantation promotes better penetration of roots in the soil. 3. It promotes better development of shoot system of plants. The process of transplantation enables us to plant the seedlings at the right spacing so as to ensure the uniform availability of water, nutrients and sunlight to the plants.

1) Transplantation enables selective cultivation of healthy seedling. This results in better crop production. 2) Transplantation permits better root penetration into the soil. 3) Transplantation allows better shoot development.

Complete answer: The technique of moving a plant from a place where it has been growing and replanting at another site during the growing season is called transplantation. This method is widely used in horticulture.

Transplants minimize weed pressure by allowing plants less time in the ground and, with many crops, not having plants in the ground when weeds germinate. Unique to transplanting is the advantageous use of herbicides in tandem with transplanted crops.

The process of removing a plant from the place where it has been growing and replanting it in another is called transplantation.

The seedlings are grown up at the time of transplanting and they are able to compete with young weeds that spring up. Weed control and other inter-cultural operation are much easier, particularly in row planting.

Advantages of transplantation  Helps farmers to select better and healthy seedlings.  Allows better penetration of roots in the soil.  Promotes better development of roots and shoots.  Enables farmers to plant seedlings at uniform distance.

Why transplant rice? Transplanting ensures a uniform plant stand and gives the rice crop a head start over emerging weeds. Further, seedlings are established even if the field is not leveled adequately and has variable water levels.

What is rice transplanting? Transplanting is the most common and elaborative method of crop establishment for rice in Asia. Rice seedlings grown in a nursery are pulled and transplanted into puddled and leveled fields 15 to 40 days after seeding (DAS). Rice seedlings can either be transplanted manually or by machine.

Answer:

• 1 Work cost is high —Work Cost is low.
• 2 Seeds are not uncovered— Seeds are presented to fowls, rats and snails.
• 3 Plant populace is guaranteed with firm root jetty —Plant populace is not guaranteed with less root jetty.
• 4 Seed prerequisite is less/hectare —Seed prerequisite is more/hectare.

Answer. Explanation: Its advantages are: The seedlings are grown up at the time of transplanting and they are able to compete with young weeds that spring up. Weed control and other inter-cultural operation are much easier, particularly in row planting.

Dapog method of rice cultivation was first used in Philippines. It comprises raising a dense stand of seedlings with no contact with soil. In this method, seedling becomes ready for transplanting on the 12th day after seeding.
