Advantages:

• It is possible to provide favorable growth conditions i.e. germination as well as growth
• Better care of younger plants as it is easy to look after nursery in small area against pathogenic infection, pests and weeds.
• Crop grown by nursery raising is quite early and fetch higher price in the market, so economically more profitable.
• There is saving of land and labour as main fields will be occupied by the crops after 1 month. More intensive crop rotations can be followed.
• More time is available for the preparation of main field because nursery is grown separately.
• As vegetable seeds are very expensive particularly hybrids, so we can economize the seed by sowing them in the nursery.
