The standard of the cell plug trays used for full automatic transplanters were defined as the chart below by MAFF (Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries) and JA (Japan Agricultural Cooperatives).
All the new full automatic transplanters should comply with the cell plug tray standard.
There are 128 and 200 cells type, and 288 cells type which is complying with the JA standard.
The cells are designed for faster rooting of seedlings by tapering to the bottom of the cells. They are also useful when taking out the seedlings easily and quickly out of the cells.
Be aware that there are old trays which are not complying with the standard and unable to use with newer transplanters due to this.
