Transplant Production Systems Proceedings of the International Symposium on Transplant Production Systems, Yokohama, Japan, 21–26 July 1992

As biotechnology produces an unprecedented number of new plantvarieties, automated transplant production systems offer the means for their large-scale introduction via a rapid, efficient and economic method. As labour costs increase, so will automated systems assume even greater importance. Reforest...
