  1. Liner Production and Designations Commercial Plant Production

  2. An Overview of Nursery Crop Production

  3. Liners • Small “starter” plants produced using various methods of plant propagation. • Potted • Bare-root • Age and size vary • Sold by caliper, height, container size and sometimes age.

  4. Liner Production-Direct Stick SWC into Small Containers

  5. Liner Production-SWC stuck in Sand

  8. Liner Production-Seedlings

  9. Liner Production-Grafting

  10. Cornus Liners

  11. Other Liner Examples Potted shrub liners

  12. Lining-Out: Shrub Liners to Field Spacing

  13. Lining-Out: Liner to Large Container

  14. Small Plant Culture • After liners are removed from propagation they may be transplanted to small plant culture for one to several years. • Objectives: • Protection • Provide optimal conditions for rapid, vigorous growth • Can occur in the field or in containers. • Many nurseries skip small plant culture.

  15. Field Spacing for Rows or Beds • 6 – 12 inches between rows. • 4 – 10 inches between plants in a row.

  16. Small Plant Culture in Containers • 4 inch container • #1 container

  17. Bottom Line Small Plant Culture Small liners go in Bigger liners come out

  18. Transplanting • The process of moving a plant from one production area to another production area. • Transplanted from propagation to small plant culture. • Transplanted from small plant culture to the production field. • At some point in the production process plants are transplanted to their “final spacing” and will stay at that spacing until harvested. • Tops and roots pruned.

  19. Liner Designations • The American Standard for Nursery Stock provides guidelines for liner designations. • Provide for a common understanding of the liner products available to the industry.

  20. Liner Types Based on Propagation Method • C = cutting • U = un-rooted cutting • G = grafted • L = layered • S = seedling • M = micro-propagated or tissue culture • D = division

  21. Micro-propagated Ash Trees

  22. Small Plant Culture • R = root pruned • P = pot or container grown • T = transplanted to a row in the field • B = transplanted to a bed • O = not transplanted

  23. Nursery Bed vs. Field Rows

  24. Nursery Beds Beds Bed forming implement

  25. C1 B2 Describes the post-propagation culture and time spent in culture Describes the liner type and time spent in propagation Liner Designations, An Example
