Plug (horticulture)

Plug (horticulture)

Plugs in horticulture are small-sized seedlings grown in trays from expanded polystyrene or polythene filled usually with a peat substrate. This kind of plug is used for commercially raising vegetables and bedding plants. Similarly plugs may also refer to small sections of lawn grass sod. When planted, the lawn grass will spread and take over adjacent areas.
