By Roger Schmidt


Nurseries are important components in horticulture. The production of grafts and seedlings within nurseries help in minimizing the cost. In other words, it becomes cheaper to grow plants in nurseries compared to letting them grow in the field. Care expenses are minimized as any kind of improvements or other care practices can be done within one area, which is Plant Nursery. In other words, maintenance cost is highly minimized.

Individuals who do not do initial planting in nurseries consumes huge sums of money in comparison with one who does. This is due to the fact that he or she will be required to deal with a piece of land that may be very large. A lot of time and labor will be consumed when doing preparation. On the other hand, starting the process with a nursery, one is likely to use minimal sums of money, labor and time too. This is indeed very advantageous.

Nurseries are also very important in ensuring that plants that are genetically pure are produced. This is indeed, is important in ensuring that plants produced are only those with traits intended. In other words, nurseries help in minimizing contamination that usually occurs to those plants not grown in nurseries. However, this is achievable if material planted is of required quality and of intended quantity too.

The kind of products produced especially for export reasons, ought to be of highest quality possible. It is indeed, very essential to take appropriate care for such types of plants. Producing products of high quality will play an important part in ensuring that good image and reputation of producer is upheld. This is achievable with ease by taking good care of such kinds of plants while young in a nursery. This will contribute positively in upholding good image of the producer.

Through nurseries many people acquire jobs. People who are trained in performing activities such as grafting and even budding may benefit greatly from such kinds of services. With this mechanism, quality work is achieved for the betterment of farm owner. In other words, people of different levels are employed in providing the required services. Laborers who are unskilled, semiskilled and skilled also benefits enormously.

In places experiencing unfavorable climatic conditions, it is important to plant these kinds of plants in nurseries. Places that are very hot may make it necessary to plant plants in nurseries because such harsh climatic conditions can be controlled. It becomes very easy to do watering and at the same time, temperatures may be controlled by coming up with right methods of protecting these kinds of plants.

Nurseries can be classified into two main types depending on time or the duration. Temporary nursery is normally done with intention of fulfilling and providing what is required for a certain season. In other words, when season is over, it is demolished. On the other hand, permanent one is used for the production of plants continuously so that the intended goal can be met. We also have fruit plant nurseries in, which crops that are intended to produce required fruits are produced.

Tomatoes are usually grown on vegetable nurseries. On the other hand, flower plant nurseries are important in production of flowers. Some of most common ones are roses, petunia, salvia and also carnation. These flowers may be used locally or for export purposes. Plants intended to be used for foresting purposes are usually grown in forest nurseries.
