ABSTRACT:
A method for securing seeds in an automatic seeding process includes the steps of placing individual seeds in pellets in a tray on a conveyor belt and then securing the seeds on each pellet by placing a gel film over each seed so that the pellets can be transported to a greenhouse. The gel film is provided by contacting a gel precursor with a gelling agent in the presence of the seed.
