£1.65

The Modiform 1426 PRISTINE Propagation Tray is a professional 360-cell tray designed for high-density propagation and efficient production of small plugs and young plants. Measuring 49 x 29cm with a height of just 2.4cm, it provides a very high number of individual growing positions within a compact nursery tray.

With 360 separate cells, the 1426 is particularly suited to the early stages of professional plant production where maximising the number of plants within the available propagation area is important. Each seedling or young plant occupies its own cell while the complete crop can be handled as a single tray.

The tray is manufactured from thermoformed PS and supplied in Modiform's PRISTINE format. PRISTINE products are made without adding colour purely to create a uniform appearance, allowing the recycled raw material to determine the finished colour of the tray.

Why choose the Modiform 1426 Propagation Tray?

  • 360 individual propagation cells - exceptionally high plant density within a compact tray footprint.
  • Designed for plug production - ideal for the early propagation stages of compatible crops.
  • 49 x 29cm tray format - makes efficient use of professional propagation and nursery space.
  • 2.4cm tray height - shallow format specifically suited to small-cell propagation.
  • Individual growing positions - keeps seedlings and young plants separated during establishment.
  • Efficient bench utilisation - allows a large number of young plants to be propagated within a relatively small area.
  • Batch handling - 360 plants can be moved and managed together as one propagation unit.
  • Professional nursery format - suitable for repetitive commercial propagation programmes.
  • Thermoformed PS construction - lightweight propagation tray for professional plant production.
  • PRISTINE material concept - produced without additional colour dye.

High-density 360-cell propagation

The defining feature of the Modiform 1426 is its 360-cell configuration. Compared with lower cell-count trays, this format significantly increases the number of individual plants that can be established within the same general propagation area.

This makes the tray particularly useful during early-stage production, when seedlings or young plants require individual growing positions but do not yet need the substrate volume provided by larger plug cells or pots.

For commercial growers, a high-density format can make more efficient use of heated propagation areas, greenhouse benches and other valuable nursery space during the earliest stages of a crop.

Designed for early-stage young plant production

With a tray height of only 2.4cm, the Modiform 1426 should be considered a specialist high-density propagation format rather than a tray intended for holding established plants for extended periods.

The appropriate production period will depend on the crop and growing conditions. Plants should be monitored and transplanted into a larger plug, cell or pot format when they reach the required developmental stage.

Selecting the right propagation tray is therefore a balance between plant density and the growing volume available to each individual plant. The 1426 prioritises maximum propagation density, while Modiform's lower cell-count trays provide progressively greater space for each plant.

Irrigation in high-density propagation

Small propagation cells contain a relatively limited quantity of growing medium, so irrigation management is particularly important. A suitable fine propagation substrate should be selected for the crop, and moisture levels should be monitored regularly during establishment.

Watering frequency will depend on the plant species, substrate, temperature, humidity, airflow and stage of development. The aim is to maintain the moisture conditions required by the crop without leaving the growing medium unnecessarily saturated.

Modiform PRISTINE material concept

The Modiform 1426 is supplied in the PRISTINE format. Modiform uses recycled raw material without adding colour solely to produce a consistent cosmetic finish. The material itself therefore determines the final appearance of the tray.

This means some variation in colour between PRISTINE production batches is normal. The variation is characteristic of the material concept and does not affect the tray's intended propagation function.

Professional propagation applications

High-density plug production Provides 360 separate growing positions within a compact professional propagation tray.
Seed propagation Suitable for compatible crops requiring individually separated positions during early establishment.
Young plant production Designed for early production stages before plants are transplanted or potted on into a larger format.
Commercial nurseries High cell count helps make efficient use of valuable nursery and propagation bench space.
Greenhouse propagation Useful where a large number of small young plants need to be organised and handled efficiently.

Modiform 1426 PRISTINE Propagation Tray FAQs

How many cells does the Modiform 1426 have?

The Modiform 1426 contains 360 individual propagation cells, making it one of the higher-density formats for professional plug production.

What are the dimensions of the Modiform 1426?

The tray measures 49cm long x 29cm wide x 2.4cm high.

What is a 360-cell tray used for?

A 360-cell tray is designed for high-density early-stage propagation. It allows a large number of seedlings or young plants to be established individually before they are transplanted into a larger growing format.

Why choose 360 cells instead of a lower cell-count tray?

The main advantage is propagation density. A 360-cell format allows considerably more plants to be raised within a given bench area, while a lower cell-count tray provides greater individual growing-medium and root volume.

Is the Modiform 1426 suitable for long-term growing?

It is primarily an early-stage propagation tray. Plants should be transplanted or potted on when they reach the appropriate stage for the crop rather than being retained indefinitely in the small propagation cells.

What growing medium should be used?

Use a fine, consistent propagation substrate appropriate for the crop and cell size. Moisture retention, drainage and aeration should all be considered when selecting the growing medium.

Does a high-density tray need careful watering?

Yes. Small cells contain relatively little growing medium, so moisture levels can change quickly. Irrigation should be monitored and adjusted to the crop, environment and stage of development.

What does PRISTINE mean?

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

Can PRISTINE trays vary in colour?

Yes. Some colour variation between production batches is normal because the appearance is determined by the recycled raw material.

What material is the Modiform 1426 made from?

The tray is manufactured from thermoformed PS, or polystyrene.

Is the Modiform 1426 suitable for professional nurseries?

Yes. Its 360-cell layout is designed for efficient professional propagation where high plant density and economical use of bench space are important.

How many Modiform 1426 trays are supplied per pallet?

The pallet quantity is 1,920 trays.
