Abstract

The consistent production of quality container grown seedlings requires that key production variables be identified and controlled; otherwise, quality and the percentage of marketable plants will be erratic (Garber and Ruter 1993a). Additionally, production times and costs may increase unless production variables are monitored and managed throughout the production cycle.
