The Winstrip® 288 Broadcast and Pop Seed Starting Kit combines the tools used to seed very small seed into a Winstrip® 288 Cell Tray and remove the finished seedlings efficiently.
This system is especially useful for:
- Very small seed
- Seed with inconsistent germination
- Crops that would otherwise require time-consuming pricking out
The 288-cell format also allows a large number of seedlings to be started in a relatively small propagation and germination footprint.
