Solution

Transplanting emergents:

  1. Transplanting emergents or picking out is a practice of seed germination in a small region.
  2. In this method, the seedlings are grown in the primary leaf stage and then transplanted into containers.
  3. This type of emergency transplant works best for seeds that are small in size, have complex inertia, or have many variable qualities.
  4. In some container nurseries, the seeds are sown in special trays and placed in the greenhouse for germination.
  5. The small seeds are covered with a thin layer of sand-like green grass.
  6. After the seeds germinate and the young seedlings begin to emerge from the germination medium, they are carefully removed with the one-pointed tool at a time and transplanted into a hole made by a double in another container.
  7. The grown medium is fixed around the transplant to ensure good contact with the roots, and then the seedlings are allowed to grow to the appropriate size to be sent.

Disadvantages of transplanting emergents:

  1. This technique is a skill and is labor-intensive.
  2. This technique is not recommended for taproot species and woody plants.
  3. The timing and direction of origin are crucial. If neglected, it can lead to root deformities and other such issues.
  4. In densely planted trays, diseases are more likely to occur.
