  1. Advanced Plant Propagation Aspects of commercial plant propagation

  2. THERE ARE 5 aspects to commercial Plant propagation • Quality • Quantity • Genetic potential • Timing • Economics of production.

  3. Quality • Local, Eco-sourced plants • Disease/Pest Free • Healthy, Free Root Systems

  4. Quantity • Big numbers of plants ready at the same time

  5. Genetic potential • E.g fruit trees, the most advanced variety e.g envy apples. Kiwifruit PSA resistance • Eco-Sourcing, produces plants that are best for this enviroment

  6. Timing • There is a narrow window of opportunity to plant native trees, autumn is best. Therefore the costumer requires their plants to be ready in may

  7. Economics of production • Plants sitting from $2 - $5 • Because such a low price the cost of production must be kept minimal • In particular growing media and labour
