Stokes Seeds Partners with PlantTape

Stokes Seeds has formed a partnership with PlantTape to serve as the recommended seed supplier to PlantTape customers across the eastern half of the U.S. and Canada. With this new arrangement, Stokes Seeds and PlantTape will collaborate to supply growers utilizing PlantTape technology with seed for the planting system.

PlantTape is an automated transplanting system in which seeds are sown into the PlantTape material, which is cut into strips and placed into trays. Seeds germinate in a greenhouse and are then transplanted into a grower’s field, with the PlantTape transplanter cutting the strips between plants and placing each seedling into the soil.

Seed will be warehoused at the PlantTape facility in Livingston, Tennessee, to facilitate timely order processing and movement of seeded plant tape to greenhouses.
