£1.65

The Modiform 1413 PRISTINE Propagation Tray is a professional 240-cell plug tray designed for high-density seed propagation and early-stage young plant production. Featuring 240 individual cells with a volume of 7.5cc each, it provides an efficient solution for commercial nurseries and growers looking to maximise propagation capacity within a limited growing area.

Measuring 49cm long x 29cm wide x 3cm high, the Modiform 1413 combines a compact professional tray footprint with a regular 12 x 20 cell arrangement. Each cell provides a separate growing position for a seedling or young plant, allowing growers to establish large batches before transplanting into larger propagation cells or pots.

Manufactured from thermoformed polystyrene (PS), the tray incorporates 7mm bottom drainage holes to help manage excess irrigation water. Its PRISTINE designation identifies Modiform's undyed recycled material concept, which avoids adding colour solely to achieve a uniform cosmetic finish.

The 1413 is particularly suited to professional propagation programmes where efficient use of greenhouse bench space, consistent plant spacing and straightforward batch handling are important.

Why choose the Modiform 1413 Propagation Tray?

  • 240 individual propagation cells - enables high-density production of seedlings and young plants.
  • 7.5cc cell volume - designed for early-stage propagation before plants require larger rooting volumes.
  • 12 x 20 cell arrangement - provides a regular, organised layout for professional crop production.
  • 49 x 29cm footprint - makes efficient use of nursery benches and propagation areas.
  • 3cm tray height - compact format suited to small-cell plug production.
  • 7mm bottom drainage holes - allow excess irrigation water to drain from individual cells.
  • Approximately 1,689 cells per m² - supports high-density propagation planning.
  • Individual growing positions - help keep developing root systems separated during establishment.
  • Thermoformed PS construction - lightweight tray designed for professional propagation.
  • Modiform PRISTINE material - produced without additional colour dye.

High-density propagation with 240 individual cells

The Modiform 1413 is designed for growers who need to establish large numbers of plants efficiently during the earliest stages of production.

Its 240 cells are arranged in 12 rows of 20, providing a consistent layout across the tray. This makes it straightforward to organise seed sowing, monitor germination and manage young plants as a complete production batch.

Modiform specifies a planting density of approximately 1,689 cells per square metre for this format. This is particularly useful when planning propagation capacity in commercial greenhouses and nurseries where heated bench space can be valuable.

The high cell count makes the 1413 most appropriate for crops that can be established in small propagation volumes before being transplanted into a larger growing format.

7.5cc cells for early-stage root development

Each cell provides approximately 7.5cc (7.5ml) of growing volume. This compact volume is intended for the early development of seedlings and small plugs rather than extended production of established plants.

Small propagation cells allow growers to raise a high number of plants within a relatively small area. However, the limited growing-medium volume means that irrigation, nutrition and transplant timing require careful management.

Once the developing root system has sufficiently established within the plug, plants can be moved into larger cells, pots or other suitable growing containers.

The ideal transplanting stage depends on the crop species, root development, growing medium and intended production programme.

7mm bottom drainage holes

Each propagation cell incorporates a 7mm bottom drainage opening, providing a route for excess water to leave the growing medium.

This is particularly important in small-cell propagation, where maintaining the correct balance between moisture and aeration is essential for healthy root development.

The tray can be used with an appropriate professional nursery irrigation arrangement. Watering frequency and application volume should be adjusted according to the substrate, crop requirements and environmental conditions.

Growers should avoid allowing small plugs to dry excessively while also ensuring that the growing medium does not remain unnecessarily saturated.

Choosing between 240-cell and 360-cell propagation trays

Modiform produces several high-density propagation trays, including the 1413 with 240 cells and the 1426 with 360 cells.

Although both models share a 49 x 29cm footprint, they provide different growing volumes:

Specification Modiform 1413 Modiform 1426
Number of cells 240 360
Cell volume 7.5cc 5cc
Tray height 3cm 2.4cm
Bottom drainage hole 7mm 6mm
Cells per m² 1,689 2,533

The Modiform 1413 provides 50% more growing volume per cell than the 1426, while the 1426 accommodates 50% more plants per tray.

The most appropriate option depends on whether the priority is maximum plant density or providing additional substrate volume to each developing plug.

Modiform PRISTINE material concept

The Modiform 1413 is supplied in the manufacturer's PRISTINE format.

PRISTINE products are produced without adding colour dye purely to achieve a uniform appearance. Instead, the recycled raw material determines the finished colour of the tray.

As a result, some natural colour variation may occur between production batches. This is a characteristic of the PRISTINE material concept rather than a manufacturing defect.

Modiform's approach forms part of its wider work towards more resource-conscious horticultural packaging and growing products.

Modiform 1413 PRISTINE Propagation Tray FAQs

How many cells does the Modiform 1413 have?

The Modiform 1413 contains 240 individual propagation cells, arranged in a regular 12 x 20 configuration.

What is the volume of each propagation cell?

Each cell provides 7.5cc (7.5ml) of growing volume, making the tray suitable for early-stage plug production.

What are the dimensions of the Modiform 1413?

The tray measures 49cm long x 29cm wide x 3cm high.

Does the Modiform 1413 have drainage holes?

Yes. Each cell incorporates a 7mm bottom drainage hole to allow excess irrigation water to leave the growing medium.

Is the Modiform 1413 suitable for growing plants from seed?

Yes. It is designed for professional propagation and can be used to establish compatible crops from seed before transplanting or potting on.

When should plants be transplanted from a 240-cell tray?

Plants should be transplanted when they have developed sufficiently established plugs and require additional growing space. The correct timing depends on the crop, root development and growing conditions.

What is the difference between the Modiform 1413 and 1426?

The 1413 has 240 cells with a volume of 7.5cc each, while the 1426 has 360 smaller cells with a volume of 5cc each. Both trays measure 49 x 29cm, but the 1413 provides more growing volume per plant.

What does Modiform PRISTINE mean?

PRISTINE is Modiform's material concept in which additional colour dye is not used. The recycled raw material determines the finished appearance of the tray.

Can PRISTINE trays vary in colour?

Yes. Some colour variation is normal because the appearance is determined by the recycled raw material rather than added colour dye.

What material is the Modiform 1413 made from?

The tray is manufactured from thermoformed PS (polystyrene).
