The High Cost of the Low-Cost Polybag System: A Review of Nursery Seedling Production Systems
Land, 2021 An important strategy for meeting global landscape restoration goals is nursery production of high-quality seedlings. Growing seedlings with attributes that promote post-planting survival and growth can be dramatically influenced by the nursery container

Monitoring Irrigation at Container Nurseries [PDF]
HortTechnology, 1992 Efficient usage of current water supplies is of great concern to container-nursery producers. Improving water management first requires knowledge of current commercial container production practices. In this study, irrigation distribution from overhead sprinklers was monitored at container nurseries to determine the distribution and the amount of ...

MOVEMENT OF OXYFLUORFEN IN CONTAINER NURSERIES [PDF]
HortScience, 1992 Little information is available on herbicide movement in soilless container media and subsequent movement in container leachate and container bed runoff. The objective of this study was to evaluate oxyfluorfen movement in irrigation water following application to container grown nursery crops in a commercial nursery. Oxyfluorfen levels in the container

Junior: a robot for outdoor container nurseries
IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and System, 2003 Production of nursery crops in the US is accomplished in container- and field-growing conditions, with propagation and seedling-rearing carried out in greenhouses. The USDA, NASA and the ANLA have collaborated to develop an automated in-field container-handling system for reducing dependence on foreign labor while also increasing productivity.

Chemical Control of Mosses in Container Nursery [PDF]
Research in Plant Disease, 2010 The purpose of this study was to develop a method to effectively control mosses that are generated in container. To meet the goals, 6 kinds of chemical agents at different concentrations were applied to the container containing seedlings of Pinus densiflora with growing liverwort (Marchantia polymorpha) and Chamaecyparis obtusa with growing haircap ...
