Characteristics Of Seedling With High Survival Potential
To survive, (1) species and seed source must be adapted to the site, (2) the seedlings must be in the proper physiological state to meet the new environment, and (3) root contact with the soil must be quickly established. In contrast to outdoor-grown bare-root seedlings, the physiological state of greenhouse seedlings can be more precisely controlled, and containerized seedlings do not lose root contact with the soil.
