PROCESS OF SEEDLING
A seedling is a very young plant that grows from a seed. When the moisture, light, and temperature conditions are correct, the seedling’s development begins with seed germination. Seeds require the proper amount of light, temperature, oxygen, and water to germinate and form seedlings. After shooting, the seedling grows gradually while its food storage tissue shrinks. The seedling develops a root system and leaves to begin photosynthesis. The germination process begins when water is absorbed (imbibed) by the seed. This initiates several biochemical events necessary for seedling development.
SEEDS NEED THE RIGHT ENVIRONMENT TO GERMINATE
Temperature, moisture, air, and light conditions are the necessary factors that need to be taken into account for a healthy seed growth. The minimum temperature is the lowest temperature at which seeds can germinate effectively. The maximum is the highest temperature at which seeds can germinate. Anything above or below this temperature can damage seeds or make them go into dormancy. At optimal temperatures, germination is rapid and uniform. We process seeds with optimum care and make sure they are provided with healthy environment for a flourishing growth.
Key Benefits of the Service
Loss of expensive seeds are minimized with effective use of plugs.
Use of seedlings usually leads to earliness in yield.
Germination losses in harsh climatic conditions such as extreme heat and cold are overcome.
Reduces time in the field contributes to saving of water and other resources.
Predictable delivery times of seedlings from the nursery helps to improve planning and crop cycling.
