Tree Seedling Nursery Containers

Rootrainers

Rootrainers are an economical alternative for the greenhouse. The ability to open the “book” allows you to monitor soil conditions and root growth without disturbing the seedlings. It also makes for easier extraction of healthy seedlings. Rootrainers virtually eliminate transplanting losses so you can utilize your greenhouse more efficiently.

Rootrainer "books" are easily transported. They can be placed in boxes, carriers or pouches for field use, or be left in the tray. Your planting crew will thank you!

Advantages of seedling accessibility:

  • Monitor root rot or control infestation of insects.
  • Switch root ball plugs to consolidate all fast growers and slow growers.
  • Verify soil moisture.
  • Check for mycorhizae.

Replication and precision:

  • Rootrainers allow for indentical and repeatable conditions.
  • Easily measure physical conditions.
  • Inspect plants without destroying them.
  • Measure roots more precisely.

Utilization and convenience:

  • Good bench density in germination.
  • Rootrainers nest tightly together for low shipping and storage costs.
