{"product_id":"bandeja-horticola-y-ornamental-plastica","title":"Plastic horticultural and ornamental tray","description":"\u003cp\u003eProducing seedlings in series with clean root ball extraction and uniform root development requires a germination tray with UV treatment, calibrated drainage, and cell geometry that respects the growth rate of the cultivated species. This horticultural and ornamental tray—also called a \u003cstrong\u003eseedbed\u003c\/strong\u003e, plug tray, or propagation tray—is manufactured by Gardese from reinforced plastic resin with UV treatment, in four cavity configurations (72, 128, 200, 288 cells) in boxes of 140-160 units, designed for nursery owners, horticultural producers, ornamental plant producers, and professional gardening enthusiasts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIntegrated UV treatment:\u003c\/strong\u003e the additive in the plastic compound protects the tray against Caribbean solar radiation, preventing the material from becoming brittle or breaking after a few seasons in full sun or in a greenhouse with inadequate covering.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCalibrated drainage per cell:\u003c\/strong\u003e the bottom holes of each cell are sized to drain excess irrigation without losing substrate, a critical condition for preventing damping-off, collar rot, and root rot typical of mass germination.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlastic resin resistant to intensive handling:\u003c\/strong\u003e the material flexes without breaking during seedling extraction, transport of loaded trays, and daily nursery handling, offering multiple use cycles without cracking.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFour configurations for crop type:\u003c\/strong\u003e 72 cells for cuttings and ornamental plants with prolonged time in the tray, 128 for medium horticultural crops (tomato, bell pepper, eggplant), 200 and 288 for short-cycle vegetables (lettuce, fast-growing citrus, leafy plants).\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConical concave cell geometry:\u003c\/strong\u003e the shape of the root ball facilitates directed root development and clean extraction of seedlings with an intact root ball, a condition for successful transplanting to open field or large pots.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTypical Applications and Uses\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCommercial vegetable nursery with mass production of seedlings for open field or greenhouse.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eProduction of ornamental and forest plants in serial cultivation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCuttings of woody and semi-woody plants with prolonged time in the tray before transplanting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIntensive domestic professional gardening and urban gardens with own seedling production.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eQuality and Durability\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn economical tray fails in two points: the resin does not incorporate sufficient UV additive (which produces trays that become brittle and break in a few months in the sun) and the cells are poorly sized or have irregular drainage (which results in substrate loss and uneven germination). Gardese works with UV-stable resin and controlled cell geometry, which separates a professional nursery tray from a generic seed tray that only lasts one season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"background-color: #F3F6F3; padding: clamp(14px, 4vw, 18px); margin-top: 20px; font-size: 0.9em; color: #555555; border-radius: 8px;\"\u003e\n  \u003cstrong style=\"color: #006902;\"\u003eAlso known as:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n  \u003cstrong\u003eTechnical:\u003c\/strong\u003e germination tray, plug tray, cell tray, modular seedbed, horticultural propagation tray.\n  \u003cstrong\u003eIn DR and Caribbean:\u003c\/strong\u003e bandeja de semillero, semillero, bandeja germinador, bandeja germinadora.\n  \u003cstrong\u003eIn other countries:\u003c\/strong\u003e seedling tray (USA), plug tray (USA), seed starter tray (USA), charola para plántulas (MX), almaciguera (LATAM), bandeja germinadora (LATAM), bandeja semillero (ES).\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"GARDESE","offers":[{"title":"72 cells \/ Box of 160 trays","offer_id":52435970130248,"sku":"589231","price":43200.0,"currency_code":"DOP","in_stock":false},{"title":"128 cells \/ Box of 160 trays","offer_id":52558828896584,"sku":"623230","price":43200.0,"currency_code":"DOP","in_stock":false},{"title":"200 cells \/ Box of 140 trays","offer_id":52558828994888,"sku":"730212","price":37800.0,"currency_code":"DOP","in_stock":false},{"title":"288 cells \/ Box of 160 trays","offer_id":52558829027656,"sku":"123423","price":43200.0,"currency_code":"DOP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0916\/9751\/2776\/files\/bandeja-germinacion-72-celdas-horticola.png?v=1778222196","url":"https:\/\/dodom.com\/en\/products\/plastic-horticultural-and-ornamental-tray","provider":"Dodom","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
