Designing greenhouses for seedling production is more demanding than for other greenhouse crop production systems, therefore, the design must be one of the primary points to consider before contracting for the greenhouse. Greenhouses designed for seedlings can produce many other crops, however, greenhouses designed for other crops may not be suitable for seedlings. It is easy to make a mistake in the early system designs that cannot be corrected later. BTA will guide you through the system requirements to reduce these problems.
Selection for seedling production is extremely important to achieve the uniformity required for uniform seedling production. Seedling production required every compo net in the greenhouse production system to lead to uniformity if uniform seedlings are to be produced. BTA can provide the services required for selecting the critical equipment for your existing seedling system or a new seedling system. The companies in the BTA network offer excellent quality at a favorable price.
Production materials such as flats, seedling trays, plug trays, plastic pots, ceramic pots, substrate, peat moss, water soluble fertilizer are just a few of the products available through the BTA network.
