Placing Bio-PP into
supporting tray
Media filling
Even and fast
Media filling with Controlled Release Fertilizer (CRF)
inside the Bio-PP

Advantages of using Bio-PP tray
compared with Polybags
1. Polybags occupy much nursery space
Advantages of using Bio-PP tray
Bio-PP occupy small nursery space <50%
2. Save transportation cost
Save 80% of transportation cost 100 vs 20 seedlings (10kg)
3. Better root system
Extreme left & right seedlings: grown in polybags; central 3 seedlings:
grown in Bio-PP
4. Minimal root injuring
5. Easier to plant, cost reduced
6. Reduced planting cost
6. Environmental friendly
Polybag discarded
