To maximize their investment in quality seed, it’s important for small-scale vegetable farmers to learn how to raise healthy seedlings.

In this video produced by the World Vegetable Center for the VINESA project, researcher Agatha Aloyce explains simple steps farmers can follow, such as making and sterilizing their own planting mixture and using net covers, to ensure their seedlings grow and thrive.

VINESA is funded by the Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research and the Australian International Food Security Research Centre.
