The horticultural crops are grown in nurseries and then transplanted into the fields.
The nursery improves germination, saves time and labour. Establishing a nursery requires knowledge
of propagation methods and resources such as mother plants, growing media and container.
The location of the nursery should be nutrient rich medium soil, adequate water source, free of
soil pathogens and insects and should have road facility for easy transportation.
