Description

Stronger root architecture Conventional vegetable transplants grow in a containerized soil plug that forces the roots to grow in a tight ball. Once transplanted, the conventional seedling undergoes significant transplant shock while the roots untangle themselves and grow into the surrounding soil. The PlantTape difference PlantTape transplants grow in an open-bottom plug that encourages a natural root architecture that quickly grows downward and outward to establish the plant in the soil. PlantTape’s open-ended plugs allow the actively growing, viable roots to explore a wider range of soil. They can then form a stronger fibrous root system by tapping into more nutrients. Reduces vegetable transplant shock PlantTape reduces transplant shock to vegetable seedlings because the vegetable transplanter pulls the tape from the nursery trays, cuts the tape, and places each transplant—still in its paper encapsulated plug—into the ground without ever touching the plant. No manual handling of seedlings, no trauma from being uprooted.
