By using artificial intelligence to decide which end is the stem and top, the machine grabs the unrooted cutting and sticks it into a tray.
Innovation has always been a key part of Spring Meadow Nursery’s success. The team invests in equipment, facilities, plants and people so that they can provide customers with a better potted liner. The ISO sticking machine sticks cuttings into 18, 32 or 72 cell liner trays. On average, each machine can stick 2,200 cuttings per hour and requires a crew of four or five people to operate.
