    1. The document provides instructions for Laboratory Exercise #3 on transplanting seedlings. Students will demonstrate proper removal of plants from seedbeds and recognize the importance of minimizing root disturbance during transplanting. 2. Materials needed include vegetable seedlings, pots, growing media, garden tools, and gloves. Procedures include supporting the soil ball, tapping roots free from the seedbed, and promptly potting the seedling to reduce exposure. 3. A discussion section asks why transplanting is necessary, why seedlings are not started in large pots, and why root trimming should be minimized.

    LABORATORY EXERCISE #3

    NAME: COURSE/YEAR & SECTION:


    TOPIC: Plant Propagation: Transplanting SUBJECT: Principles and Practices of Plant
    Breeding, Propagation and
    Nursery Management
    TITLE: Transplanting of Seedlings
    OBJECTIVES:
    1. To demonstrate the proper method of removing plants from seedbed for transplanting
    2. To recognize the importance of not disturbing the roots in order to reduce plant shock that occurs
    during transplanting
    MATERIALS:
    1. Vegetable seedlings performed in Lab# 2
    2. Pots
    3. Growing media
    4. Garden stake or trowel
    5. Gloves and boots
    PROCEDURES:
    1. The same groupings formed in Lab #2. Each member should perform in transplanting the
    seedlings.
    2. Place one hand on the soil surface to support the ball of soil. Spread your finger around the plant
    stem.
    3. With the use of garden stake, tap the edge of the seedling firmly but gently.
    4. Allow the plant with the ball of soil to slip out of the seed bed.
    5. Place the removed plant ball upright in your free hand and transplant the seedling to the prepared
    hole in a larger pot. Do not allow roots to be exposed to the air for an extended period.
    6. Document your performed activity to support your lab report.
    7. Hand in your handwritten laboratory report 3 days after the activity.
    DISCUSSION:
    1. Why is it necessary to transplant plants?
    2. Why aren’t plants started out in large pots or the ground from the very beginning?
    3. Why should root trimming be kept at a minimum?
    4. Do you think that different size pots would be more difficult to transport? (comment)
    5. Does the age of the plant being transplanted matter?
