Nurseries
Nurseries are centres aimed for the production and marketing of plants.
Nurseries
Types of nurseries
Nurseries are differentiated by type of plant produced and by the target sector.
Among the systems most commonly used are:
- Agricultural nurseries
- Forestry nurseries
- Ornamental nurseries
The type of nursery is defined by the plants they produce. Agricultural nurseries grow abundant horticultural and fruit plants; forest plants in general aimed at reforestation; and ornamental plants for gardening and cut flower.

Most common greenhouses
A variety of different structures are used for plant production ranging from sophisticated greenhouses for ornamental horticulture or plants, to simpler structures (in general mesh-house or shade-house for forest plants) that have less requirements for plant production.
So that these work centres lead to quality production, a correct irrigation design and ventilation is important to avoid excess humidity that can damage the state of health.
Productive process of a nursery
Nurseries can cover the entire productive process of plants or merely be dedicated to some specific phases.
Among the different areas according to its process we have:
- Seeds and propagation areas
- Growth and production of plants areas
- Acclimatization and dispatch areas
Each phase has highly varied requirements and, therefore, different facilities to obtain the different conditions, ranging from very closed environments such as germination chambers to more open and ventilated environments such as shade-houses and acclimatization areas.
