Container cell size as a factor of cabbage transplant quality

Production of vegetable transplants in protected areas is more safely then in an open area. The cost of this kind of production is higher therefore producers are trying to reduce it. One way of cutting the expenses is production the maximum quantity of transplants in certain protected area. The use of containers with larger number of seeding posts (cells) and lesser seeding posts volume (cell size) is the best way to reach that goal. The aim of this study was to determine the influence of different seeding posts volume (78 ml and 32 ml) on the cabbage transplants by measuring: number of leafs, leafs length, height of the transplants and average leaf surface area. Statistically very significant difference (P≤0.01) has been proved on the surface area and height of the transplants in the containers with lesser number of the seeding posts and bigger volume. The number of leafs and leaf length has been statistically significant in containers with lesser number of the seeding posts and bigger volume.
