How are plants transported from the nursery to home gardens/farms?
Correct Answer
Plants are transported in nursery bags or containers after they are mature enough for transplantation. Seedlings grown in plug trays or raised beds are transferred to nursery bags filled with soil-compost mixture. After proper shooting (30-45 days), new plants can be shifted to bigger polybags or fields. Plants are transported during the right season to suitable environments.
