The nursery manuals cover the normal sequence of nursery development, seedling propagation and outplanting. Volume seven covers the period from the when the crop is hardened-off and ready for harvest to when they go into the ground. The manual begins with an assessment of seedling quality and the decision to harvest and package for storage. The next chapter covers short and long-term seedling storage and monitoring of seedling quality during storage. Recommendations are provided for handling and shipping after storage. The final chapter covers outplanting, onsite handling and storage, planting techniques and monitoring outplanting performance.
