Withering of seedlings after transplanting to the ground is one of the common problems in planting seedlings. This situation may be caused by transfer stress, root damage or inappropriate environmental conditions.
The most important reasons
- Damage to the root when removing the seedling from the tray
- Lack of moisture around the root
- Extreme heat and direct radiation at inappropriate hours
- High salinity of water or soil
- Improper irrigation
- Transfer of weak or inappropriate seedling to environmental conditions
How to reduce the possibility of wilting?
- Check the humidity of the seedling bed before transfer.
- Avoid damaging the roots during transfer.
- Transfer the seedling in suitable weather conditions.
- After planting, maintain the humidity around the root according to the needs of the plant.
- In the first days, check the seedling for signs of stress and disease.
Note that severe or persistent wilting may be related to root disease or other factors and requires further investigation.
You must move the seedling carefully, plant it at the right time and maintain the moisture of the soil around the root according to the needs of the plant.
Yes, excessive watering can reduce oxygen supply to the roots and cause root rot and seedling wilting.
Usually, cool hours in the morning or evening are more suitable for transplanting; Because the intensity of radiation and evaporation is less.
