Transplanting

We meet again !! Welcome to my blog guys... Today I have reached week 4 in my field work learning. So today I would like to share about this week learning which is the title is Transplanting.


Transplanting

The process of moving the germinated seed to the growing location

    1) There are two ways in planting: 

  •  Direct Seeding
  • Indirect Seeding
    
            a) Direct Seeding = Method of sowing the seeds directly in soil
        
                    Advantages

    • No need to prepare the nursery
    • Mature early
                    
                    Disadvantages
    • Seeds are exposed to pests
    • lose of seed
    • more time to thinning     


    




  
            b) Indirect Seeding = The method that planting seeds in a tray to be ready for transplanting

                    Advantages
    • Gives greater control over growing conditions
    • Higher success rate 
                    
                    Disadvantages
    • Higher expenses of material cost
    • The plant will face the shock transplanting issues
