Abstract

The period between seedling emergence and planting outdoors for the growing season is a time of rapid plant growth and development and is critical to long-term production success. In this last fact sheet in this series, we cover the main topics crucial to growing seedlings into quality, usable plants for outdoor production, including air circulation, temperature, light, water, fertilizer, indoor transplanting, hardening off, and transplanting outside.
