  • Sylviculture
CONT

La quasi-totalité des techniques "nouvelles" de production repose sur une idée de base commune et d'ailleurs utilisée depuis fort longtemps : il s'agit d'amortir la crise de transplantation en installant le système racinaire dans un récipient (...). [Dans] les pays à saisons de végétation et de plantation très courtes (...) on a développé des techniques de production élaborées, de semis en petits conteneurs, pouvant être traités intensivement. (...) Dans ces pays, il est plus facile et moins coûteux de produire et de planter ces semis en petits conteneurs que les plants à racines nues.
