You will also get to know the services and products of Araz Nahal, the producer of fruitful and non-fruitful seedlings in Miandoab, which is considered one of the reliable centers for the supply of high-quality seedlings in the country.

What is a seedling and why is it important to choose its type?

Seedling is actually a young plant that is prepared for transfer to the main land and long-term growth. Seedling quality has a direct effect on tree growth, disease resistance, fruiting rate and yield. Many successful gardeners believe that choosing standard seedlings is the most important investment in starting a garden.

There are usually three main types of seedlings in the agricultural market:

Seed seedlings
Transplanted seedlings
Modified seedlings

Each of these types of seedlings has a different production method, and this causes a difference in their quality, performance and price. In Araz Nahal, the producer of fruitful and non-fruitful seedlings in Miandoab, all these types of seedlings are produced and supplied in compliance with agricultural standards.

What is a seedling?

Seed seedlings are obtained by directly planting the seeds of a tree. In this method, the seed is planted in the soil and after germination, the seedling grows. This method is one of the oldest and most natural methods of plant propagation.

Characteristics of seed seedlings

Seed seedlings usually have high genetic diversity, as each seed has a different genetic makeup from the parent tree. For this reason, the tree that grows from the seed may be different from the mother tree in terms of fruit quality, product size, or productivity.

Benefits of seed seedlings

Lower production cost
Strong and deep root system
Higher resistance to some environmental conditions
Relatively long lifespan

Disadvantages of seed seedlings

Longer fruiting time
Inconsistency in fruit quality
Possibility of great difference from the mother tree
Inability to accurately predict yield

For this reason, today, the use of seedlings is mostly done for the production of transplanted bases or in special projects. In Araz Nahal Miandoab, seed seedlings are also used as a basis for the production of some transplanted seedlings.

What is a transplanted seedling?

Grafted seedlings is one of the most common types of seedlings in modern horticulture. In this method, a part of a high-quality tree (graft) is placed on the base of another tree to grow.

In simpler terms, a grafted tree is a combination of two plants:

The base (the root and the lower part of the tree)
The graft (a branch of a good tree)

Characteristics of transplanted seedlings

Grafted seedlings usually retain the characteristics of the mother tree. That is, if it is transplanted from a tree with good quality fruit, the new tree will also produce the same quality fruit.

Advantages of transplanted seedlings

Faster fruiting compared to seed seedlings
Uniformity in product quality
Possibility to choose disease-resistant rootstock
Better management of tree growth

Disadvantages of transplanted seedlings

Higher price compared to seed seedlings
Need skill in production
More sensitivity in the early years

Despite these things, many professional gardeners prefer to use grafted seedlings because it gives a more predictable result. In Araz Nahal, the producer of fruitful and non-fruitful seedlings in Miandoab, all kinds of grafted seedlings are produced by standard methods and by agricultural experts.

What is a modified seedling?

The modified seedling is the result of years of research and genetic selection in the field of agriculture. In this method, the best trees are selected and propagated in terms of yield, product quality, disease resistance, and climate adaptation.

The improvement of the plant breed makes the new trees have more desirable characteristics.

Improved seedling characteristics

These seedlings usually have features such as:

Higher productivity
Higher resistance to pests and diseases
Better compatibility with climatic conditions
Better fruit quality

Advantages of modified seedlings

Higher economic performance
Faster productivity
Product uniformity
More resistance to environmental stress

Disadvantages of modified seedlings

Higher initial price
Need for proper management in cultivation

The difference between modified seedlings, transplants and seeds

Knowing the difference between modified, grafted and seeded seedlings will help gardeners make a better choice.

In terms of fruiting speed, modified and transplanted seedlings enter the production stage faster than seed seedlings.

In terms of product uniformity, transplanted and modified seedlings perform better.

Seeds are cheaper in terms of initial cost but may be less profitable in the long run.

As a result, to build an economic garden, it is usually recommended to use transplanted or modified seedlings.

Which type of seedlings is better for building a garden?

The answer to this question depends on several factors:

Climatic conditions of the region
Type of desired product
Purpose of planting (commercial or personal)
Amount of initial capital

If the goal is to establish a commercial garden, modified and transplanted seedlings are usually a better option. These seedlings have faster fruiting and a higher quality product.

If the goal is to plant in natural or research environments, seedlings can also be a suitable option.

Experts of Araz Nahal, producer of fruitful and non-fruitful seedlings in Miandoab can suggest the best type of seedlings according to the climatic conditions of the region.
