Proptek - Model 162S67V -162 Cell Vegetable Propagation Tray
The Proptek 162 Cell Vegetable Propagation Tray is meticulously engineered for optimal plant propagation, offering versatility for crops requiring wider spacing such as zucchini, cucumbers, and eggplants. The tray is an innovative replacement for the traditional 128 cell EPS Styrofoam variant, boasting 26% more planting cells per unit area, thanks to the use of durable injection molded plastic. This allows for a minimal decrease in plant spacing of only 8.6%. Each cell is equipped with Proptek's patented root technology, fostering vertical root growth that aids in root ball aeration and drainage, which enhances plant survivability and growth post-transplantation. Designed for ease of use, the tray has strong corners, rounded edges, and recessed handles, ensuring compatibility with both manual and mechanical handling. Its durability and optimal cell volume ensure the production of high-quality plants, catering to the needs of professional growers in maximizing efficiency and yield.

A great tray for a wide range of plants that need wider spacing like zucchini, cucumbers and eggplants, but is a particularly excellent melon seedling propagation tray.
The Proptek 162 tray has been developed to replace the 128 cell EPS Styrofoam tray. The cell volume is almost identical to the 128 cell Styrofoam tray but with 26% more cells, meaning more plants per square foot. Even though there are 162 cells in the same space as 128, due to the strong nature of injection molded plastic the cell walls can be much thinner, meaning the plant spacing i. e. centre to centre spacing is only decreased by 8.6%.
The Proptek 162 also features our patented root technology. Cells have internal vertical root training ribs to guide the roots down to the drain hole. This not only creates excellent roots that make the plant easy to pull, it creates a vertical chimney which aids aeration of the root ball and drainage. This all means a higher quality plant that is more likely to survive transplanting and grow vigourously.
This tray has been designed with both people and machinery in mind. The recessed handle on the ends of the tray makes the trays easy to lift up manually and mechanically. Strong corners and rounded edges to the tray make it more user friendly and kinder on the hands.
