Common Tools For Seedling Trays

Root control rapid seedling container is a new type of rapid seedling cultivation technology that regulates root growth and has unique effects on preventing root rot and main root coiling. Root control containers can make the lateral roots thicker and shorter in shape. It does not form tangled roots, overcoming the defect of root entanglement caused by conventional container seedling cultivation. The total root volume increases by 30-50 times, the survival rate of seedlings reaches over 98%, the seedling cultivation cycle is shortened by half, and the management workload after transplantation is reduced by more than 50%. This container can not only make the root system of seedlings strong and grow vigorously, but also has obvious advantages for the cultivation and transplantation of large seedlings, seasonal transplantation, and afforestation under harsh conditions.
The 'root control container' consists of three components
1. Root growth effect: There is a special thin film on the inner wall of the root control seedling container, and the top of the container's side wall is convex and concave, with air holes protruding from the outside. When the root system of the seedling grows outward and comes into contact with air (small holes on the side wall) or any part of the inner wall, the root tip stops growing. Then, three new roots sprout at the back of the root tip and continue to grow outward and downward. When it comes into contact with air (small holes on the side wall) or any part of the inner wall, it stops growing again and grows three new roots at the back of the root tip. In this way, the number of roots increases in a series of 3, greatly increasing the number of short and thick lateral roots, and the total amount of roots is 20-30 times higher than that of conventional field seedling cultivation.
2. Root control function: General seedling cultivation techniques involve long main roots and weak lateral root development. The phenomenon of entanglement of seedling roots is very common when using conventional container seedling cultivation methods. Root control technology can make lateral roots short and thick in shape, with a large number of developed roots, while limiting the growth of the main root and preventing the formation of tangled roots.
3. Growth promotion process: Due to the dual effects of the root control container and the substrate used, the root system of the seedlings develops vigorously and can store a large amount of nutrients, meeting the growth needs of the seedlings in the early stages of colonization and creating favorable conditions for their survival and rapid growth. Transplanting does not damage roots, does not require cutting heads, is not limited by seasons, has simple management procedures, high survival rates, and fast growth rates.
