Maintaining high <b data-path-to-node=\"10\" data-index-in-node=\"212\">seedling survival in hot climates<\/b> is one of the most critical operational challenges for vegetable growers and nursery managers.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"11\">High atmospheric heat accelerates transpiration, rapidly desiccates root zones, reduces oxygen availability in substrates, and triggers severe transplant shock. Consequently, many nurseries report seedling loss rates between <b data-path-to-node=\"11\" data-index-in-node=\"225\">25% and 40%<\/b> during peak hot months, severely impacting operational profitability.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"12\">Achieving a <b data-path-to-node=\"12\" data-index-in-node=\"12\">90%+ seedling survival rate<\/b> under extreme heat requires an integrated propagation strategy.
