what is transplantation ?why does this method donot ensure the survival of saplings
Answers
The other way of establishment is not by sowing seeds but by transplanting seedlings that are grown in nurseries first.
Transplanting of rice seedlings into puddled fields is widely practiced in Asia, primarily to better control weeds.
Transplanting requires less seed but much more labor, and the crop takes longer to mature because of the transplanting shock.
Answer:
Many home gardeners prefer to start their gardens from nursery-grown transplants rather than from seed. In some respects, this allows for greater flexibility, as you can simply go out and buy the transplants when you’re ready. The downside of this method is that your garden is limited to the varieties available near you, so there may be less overall variety in the plants that you can grow.
On the other hand, starting plants from seed indoors can be a challenge! If you aren’t able to provide them with proper lighting and moisture, they may not be strong enough to survive the move to outdoors. One benefit of starting from seed is that it’s usually cheaper to buy a packet of seeds than it is to buy transplants, and the unused seeds will likely last you two or three seasons.
