Project Description

HYZ-2 Basil Transplanter driven by tractor can transplant Basil plants effectively and uniformly to field.  It is good helper for Commercial Basil Growing all over the world.

The HUAYO Basil Seedling Transplanters has proven to work for Basil, yet it works for many other crops as well. For Basil farms that also grow Herbs, Mint, Hemp, broccoli, or other vegetables, such versatility allows them to utilize HUAYO Transplanter across their different commodities.

HUAYO AGRO’s Transplanter is a multifunctional vegetable seedling transplanter. We developed and produced them by using the most advanced technology. It uses a double crank connecting rod mechanism to drive the duckbill hanging cup planting system, achieving precise planting and planting on film.

Proper spacing between basil plants is crucial for airflow and disease prevention.  The Basil Transplant Machine can ensure uniform Row spacing and Plant spacing, which is better than manual transplanting.

 

Basil (Ocimum basilicum) is a highly sought-after herb in the culinary world, making it a profitable crop for commercial growers. Cultivating basil in a commercial setting requires careful planning, efficient production methods, and attention to quality to meet the demands of local markets, restaurants, and culinary businesses.

1. Cultivar Selection:
– Choose basil cultivars that are well-suited for commercial production, considering factors such as flavor, aroma, disease resistance, and market demand.
– Popular types of basil to produce commercially are sweet, Thai, lemon and holy basils with sweet basil being the most popular to grow and sell in the US. It is highly recommended to use disease-resistant cultivars such as Rutgers Obsession DMR, Rutgers Devotion DMR, Rutgers Passion DMR and the Prospera family of lines. Indoor growers have a larger selection and can grow whichever cultivar fits their growing system best.

2. Growing Conditions:
– Basil thrives in full sunlight, requiring a minimum of six hours of direct sunlight per day.
– Optimal temperature range for basil growth is between 70-90°F (21-32°C).
– Provide well-drained soil that is fertile, rich in organic matter, and has good moisture retention.
– Consider using controlled environments such as greenhouses or high tunnels to extend the growing season and protect the crop from adverse weather conditions.

3. Planting and Spacing:
– Start basil plants from seeds or transplants based on your production schedule and market demand.
– If using seeds, sow them in a seed tray or directly in the field after the last frost.
– Proper spacing between basil plants is crucial for airflow and disease prevention. Recommended spacing varies depending on the cultivar and production method, so consult specific guidelines for the selected basil cultivars.

 

Prepare the Basil Plants

Commercial basil is often grown from transplants started indoors 4–6 weeks before the last frost. Key steps include separating densely-planted grocery store clumps into individual plants, trimming tall stems to encourage branching, and hardening off plants before transplanting them into a well-drained, sunny location. Proper spacing is essential to improve air circulation and prevent disease. 

  • Start indoors: Sow seeds 4–6 weeks before the last frost. A soil temperature of around 70∘F is optimal for germination.
  • Encourage branching: Trim plants back to about 5 inches tall when they have 3–5 sets of true leaves to promote a more branched, productive plant.
  • Acclimate seedlings: Gradually expose indoor-grown seedlings to outdoor conditions for a week or two before transplanting to prevent transplant shock.
