-Uniform Growth: The individual cells in protrays promote uniform growth by preventing overcrowding and competition between seedlings.
-Root Development: The design of protrays encourages healthy root development, which is crucial for successful transplantation.
-Ease of Handling: Protrays are easy to handle and transport, making them convenient for nursery operations.
