77L Shallow Propagation Tray
The Professional Choice for High-Density Seed Starting.
The 77L Shallow Propagation Tray is a professional-grade, high-density module designed for the efficient germination of a wide variety of seeds. Whether raising vegetable starts, salad crops, perennials, or bedding plants, this tray provides a precise and reliable environment for young seedlings to thrive. Its shallow design is specifically engineered to reduce the risk of over-watering, ensuring that moisture levels remain optimal for delicate germinating seeds.
Innovative Engineering for Stronger Starts
To ensure every seedling gets the best possible start, each of the 77 cells features integrated anti-spiral root ribs. These vertical channels guide roots downwards, preventing them from circling and becoming pot-bound. When used in conjunction with a large base tray, the system facilitates effective air pruning. This process encourages the development of a dense, fibrous root ball, allowing plants to establish themselves rapidly once transplanted into the garden.
Exceptional Durability and Sustainability
Injection-moulded from heavy-duty, UV-stabilised recyclable polypropylene, the 77L is built for extreme longevity. While designed for a minimum of 10 years of trouble-free use, many units produced over 15 years ago are still in active service today. This industrial-strength construction offers a truly sustainable alternative to flimsy, single-use plastic trays that contribute to landfill after only one or two uses.
Key Features and Benefits
High-Volume Production: With a density of 1023 plants per square metre, it is the perfect solution for gardeners and nursery-people raising large quantities in limited space.
Effortless Extraction: Each cell features a generous 18mm drainage hole, which aids in water management and allows for the easy removal of the plant plug without damaging the root system.
Rigid and Ergonomic: The tray is dimensionally stable and sturdy, yet lightweight enough to be carried comfortably with one hand.
Eco-Friendly Lifecycle: By investing in long-life equipment, you are helping to reduce the demand for disposable plastics. At the end of its extensive service life, the tray can be recycled with hard plastics.
