The herein undertaken study demonstrates that incorporating intact spearmint tissues into the soil is a promising tool for improving tomato seedling production.
Production of tomato seedlings with low P in fl oat systems is feasible, at least on a small scale for transplanting locally, when delayed fertilization or delayed fertilization plus brushing treatments are used to control seedling height.
Breaking tomato transplant stems during ship- ping or exposure to post-transpla nt winds would be less likely in short, sturdy seedlings.
Additionally, when a seedling is taken from the bag for transplant, there is the risk of root damage, which compromises the plant's development.

Field testing of osmoconditioned seeds of several tomato cultivars at two sites in Ontario showed enhanced seedling emergence, plant development and more breaker-red tomato fruits at harvest, indicating earlier maturity.
These differing seasonal responses suggest fundamental differences in tomato transplant growth that must be addressed by modifications in N fertilization between spring and fall.
These results show that seedling inoculation with B. tropica led to effective root colonization of tomato plants followed by bacterial spreading to aerial tissues.
The leaf clip strategy for tomato seedling inoculation discussed here has the potential to be a valuable approach with respect to time, space, labour savings and costs.
Younger transplants might be used to achieve rapid seedling estab- lishment with-minimal transplant production costs.
This work showed that pre-sowing seed treatments with the bioregulators used in this work are effective in enhancing seedling emergence of tomato, especially at 100mg/L concentration.
