Why Transplanting Is Used?

Transplanting is the process of moving a fully germinated seedling (or mature plant) and replanting it in a permanent location for the growing season. Transplanting is an important part of agribusiness in northern climates because it extends the flowering or fruit bearing season of many plants.

What is the use of transplanting?

Transplanting is commonly practiced as a method of weed control for wet or puddled fields. It requires less seed but much more labor compared to direct seeding. Also, transplanted crops take longer to mature due to transplanting shock.

Why transplantation is useful in plants?

Transplants give you a huge jumpstart on the season because they will mature sooner and give you an earlier harvest. You can also increase your harvest with succession planting—planting the same thing several times per season to ensure continuous harvest.
