The Importance of Proper Irrigation Methods for Forest Seedlings

Why Irrigation Matters

Water is fundamental to a plants life, especially in the controlled environment of a forest nursery. For containerized seedlings, where soil volume is limited, water stress can occur quickly—impacting plant health, slowing growth, and reducing survival rates.

Effective, even watering ensures that each plant receives the right amount of moisture throughout its propagation period. This is key to promoting uniform development, healthy root systems, and high-quality seedlings ready for outplanting.
