Abstract
Robust plastic pot trays are suitable substitutes for polybags in raising oil palm seedlings in the prenursery. Pot trays can be recycled, take less soil and the seedlings are easy to handle and maintain. Pot trays allow pre-nursery seedlings to be raised away from a new estate. Seedlings are ready for transfer to large polybags in three months (three-leaf stage) with one worker transferring 1000 plants per day. The performance of the pot tray seedlings after field planting is as good as those raised in pre-nursery polybags. Bandejas de plástico fuertes para macetas son sustitutos adecuados para las bolsas de polietileno usadas para cultivar plántulas de palma de aceite en la etapa de pre-vivero. Las bandejas para macetas se pueden reciclar, requieren menos tierra y las plántulas son fáciles de manejar y mantener. Las bandejas de macetas permiten cultivar plántulas de pre-vivero lejos de un nuevo lote. Las plántulas están listas para ser trasladadas a bolsas plásticas grandes en tres meses (etapa de tres hojas), con un trabajador trasladando 1.000 plantas por día. El comportamiento de las plántulas cultivadas en bandejas de materas después de ser plantadas en el campo es tan bueno como el de las cultivadas en bolsas plásticas de pre-vivero.
