12. Seeds sown in pro trays :
• High value seeds are sown in pro trays which are made up of plugs . These plugs
are filled with Coco peat . Sow the seeds with the help of fingertips. Once the
seeds are sown seeds are placed in depression covered with Coco peat
• These pro trays are kept for few days or till germination .
• We have to take some precautions such as sow the seeds at proper depth , the
seeds must be sown at proper spacing so that seedlings get proper moisture and
sunlight .
