Question

What do you mean by transplantation? Which crops are grown by this method

Answer 1

1. Crop transplantation is the method of growing plants in which indirect seeding is done. In this method, first seeds are grown into seedlings inside a controlled environment and then seedlings are transplanted to a field.
2. This method has many advantages over direct seeding such as:

• The seeds are not exposed to birds, rats, snails and other biotic and abiotic stress, which has a chance in direct seeding.
• In this method, there is lesser ​crop-weed competition, as main plant and weeds are not of similar age.
• In this method, even the foreign plants get time to acclimatise and so then can grow well in the new place.
• Examples:

• Onion
• Peppers
• Scallions
• Tomato
