Healthy seedlings result in better yields and quality. Seedling trays facilitate management and transplantation, leading to healthier plants.

Different types for different plants or usages
Cells:
50 cells: melons.
72~128 cells: medium-sized vegetables like eggplants, and tomatoes.
128~200 cells: leafy vegetables such as lettuce, and Chinese cabbage.
Thickness:
0.6~0.8 mm: usually for manual sowing or one-time use.
1.0~1.2 mm: suitable for machine sowing and can be reused after disinfection.
Depth:
Deep of 3 ~ 5 cm usually for vegetables.
Deeper trays 9 ~ 11 cm for trees and large seedlings
Optional Designs:
Root guide grooves aid vertical root growth.
Water outlets on the upper tray ensure water flow between different holes, so the plants grow neatly.
Ventilation holes improve air circulation, keeping leaves dry and reducing disease.
Bottom bumps allow water to seep quickly and prevent root rot.
