Transplant nurseries germinate and raise young plants in greenhouses under strict phytosanitary protocols, then ship them to growers for field setting. Starting from healthy transplants can cut up to 60 days off the field time for crops like leafy greens, melons, and processing tomatoes while improving stand uniformity. California, Arizona, and Oregon nurseries together grow billions of vegetable transplants each year.

Sanitation is critical because nurseries grow plants at very high density, where a single pathogen or pest can spread through thousands of seedlings before they ever reach the field. Clean benches, treated water, disease-free media, and strict worker and tool hygiene keep diseases like Pythium, Fusarium, and tobacco mosaic virus from moving with the plants. Consistent protocols on every job protect both the nursery and its customers.
