A Brief History of Paper Chain Pots Paperpots were first developed in 1962 by a Japanese company called Nippon Beet Sugar Manufacturing Co., Ltd., located in Obihiro, Japan. The original versions were individual, non-chain-style paper pots. The company’s primary objective was producing refined beet sugar, and the paper pots were invented to increase the efficiency of that pursuit. Non-chain paper pots are still produced and used today, primarily for larger crops that require a bigger cell and that are typically planted 12” or more apart. It was not until 1992 that the revolutionary paper chain pot, along with the first paperpot transplanter, was developed and commercialized by a Nitten Paperpot, which is a division of Nippon. To this day, Nitten is still the producer of paper chain pots at their Shimizu Paperpot Factory in Japan.
Cute farming, i hope I'm able to do this in my country, am in love with your farming mechanism , and I hope to work with you to learn and have more experience in your farming system
Oh no, these practices you see in the video are from T&A in the Salinas Valley. It doesn't mean all growers and shippers do the exact same thing. I do see direct seeding from some growers depending on the crop and time of season.
Ran across a Q from another site: "Is the "transplanting tape" bio-degradable? What kind of glue is used to hold it together???? As a former row crop farmer decades ago I find the harvesting of "romaine hearts" very wasteful.......otherwise great video....!
Plants free of water deficit events more efficiently absorb available plant nutrients enabling plants to achieve their maximum genetic potential. SWRT membranes installed below plant root systems retain water where it falls, providing continuous delivery of drought-free periods up to 3 times longer than intensely irrigated control sands without root zone water retention membranes (Guber et al, 2016).
Thanks for the video, makes me appreciate the Farmers who produce the lettuce crop.
The technology was amazing. Thanks for all of the educational information.
LETTUCE send our THANKS to YOU!

thanks for the video
This is how we feed the country and the world. Innovation
Great video!
its also amazing cause that saves the workers backs, planting seedlings is no joke
How do they manage weeds?
Cute farming, i hope I'm able to do this in my country, am in love with your farming mechanism , and I hope to work with you to learn and have more experience in your farming system
Is direct seeding to a stand (with coated seed) a thing of the past?
Oh no, these practices you see in the video are from T&A in the Salinas Valley. It doesn't mean all growers and shippers do the exact same thing. I do see direct seeding from some growers depending on the crop and time of season.
How much does it cost to plant an hectare?

Yes, they were wading around almost knee-deep in salad.
That's like saying, "why didn't you harvest the whole tomato plant? How wasteful!" The consumer doesn't want those leaves they want romaine hearts.
Suddenly, I'm hungry for a salad.
