REVIEW PAPER
BACKGROUND
• Direct-sowing in the field before the recommended planting period is nearly
impossible due to low temperature.
• Specialty corns in Korea is grown in plug trays and transplanted because:
• To plant early at late winter season (February) in plastic houses for earlier harvesting
(early June).
• To maximize field stand count (number of plants) and uniformity.
• To avoid bird damages at germination and early seedlings.
• Plug planting inside plastic house or growth chamber often results in
seedling overgrowth.
• Overgrowth: is a phenomenon occurs in plant when they are watered
and fertilized much more than they need, or plant are grown in lack of
light environment.
