Description

This seedling plug tray is designed for efficient plant propagation, available in two compact layouts: 5x2 (10 cells) and 3x2 (6 cells). Each tray features evenly spaced cells that support healthy root development and easy transplanting.

Specifically designed for starting plants prior to transfer into aquaponic systems, the tray offers a reliable solution for early-stage growth in controlled environments such as research labs, classrooms, or greenhouses.

The included Fusion 360 file can be modified to expand the layout, allowing users to add more cells and customize the tray for larger planting arrangements.

Designed by Elise Harmon at the Aquatic Germplasm and Genetic Resources Center (AGGRC). Please visit AGGRC.com to learn more about our work.
