be transplanted successfully is essential to obtain quality plants and reduce production costs ( Cavins and Dole, 2001 ; van Iersel, 1997 ). Although it may be more economical to leave plants in plug trays for as long as possible before transplanting
Plug transplants of strawberry have been replacing traditional bare-root transplants despite their higher costs because the newer approach can reduce the incidence of soilborne disease and improve transplant quality under a controlled environment
seedlings, also known as young plants or plugs, have led to a large increase in finish plant quality and profitability ( Armitage and Kaczperski, 1994 ; Kuehny et al., 2001 ). Young plant production occurs in late winter and early spring when the integrated

Many ornamental greenhouse crops are grown under some form of stress or growth regulation that limits the full potential for their shoot volume production. This is universally true for young plants produced in plug seedling trays and bedding plant
