Sowing of Pelletized Seed: A Technique To Simplify Eucalypt Raising in Tropical Nurseries
The sowing of pelletized eucalyptus seeds in containers, adapting growing techniques developed in Italy, could simplify nursery operations in tropical areas. This system is more advantageous than the traditional nursery technique of broadcasting in the seedbed, then pricking out and transplanting small seedlings into pots— because it is less laborious, permits mechanical sowing, and prevents damage caused by transplanting machines and root deformations (U- or J-roots) caused by manual transplanting.
