Detailed explanation-1: -Transplantation is the technique in which a plant is moved from one location to other. It involves growing of seedlings or seeds in a piece of well managed and protected land called nursery. After development of a few weeks the plants are transplanted into main field for further growth and development.

Detailed explanation-2: -Manual transplanting is done either at random or in straight-rows. In the random method, seedlings are transplanted without a definite distance or space between plants. The straight-row method follows a uniform spacing between plants. The seedlings are transplanted in straight rows.

Detailed explanation-3: -The transfer of seedlings from the nursery to the main field is known as transplantation. In this process, seeds are not sown on the field, they are sown in a nursery and then the seedlings grown are planted in the main field. Some examples of transplantation include the cultivation of paddy and tomatoes.

Detailed explanation-4: -The process of transitioning indoor seedlings and greenhouse plants to life outdoors is called hardening off. The seedlings have been pampered and coddled with consistent, comfortable indoor growing conditions.
