 Insert trayProptek is offering a 72-cell insert tray designed specifically to hold inserts or stabilized media plugs including Ellepots, Fertil, Jiffy, Glue Plugs, Oasis, Preforma and Super Seedling. The injection-molded tray has an open side to the cells for air pruning the roots and to also improve aeration and drainage. The 10.5-inch wide by 21-inch long by 2.75-inch deep tray prevents root circling and its feet elevate the tray off the ground to allow air flow and eliminate the need for air pruning benching. Its Slot and Rib design enables the trays to stack and nest. The trays can be filled and stacked before use. Each cell has a central hole for easy safe ejection of plugs from below. The company is also developing tray sizes with different cell counts and cell depths, including a 50-cell tray. READER SERVICE #50 |
