Global\u00a0transplanting technology provider Plant Tape officially launched its presence in Australia at Vic Vid 2026.\u00a0The Plant Tape system introduces a new approach to transplanting, designed to help growers improve efficiency, reduce labour\u00a0reliance and deliver more consistent crop establishment across a range of vegetable crops.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Developed as an integrated solution from seeding and nursery propagation through to field planting, the system enables\u00a0rapid, uniform planting with precise spacing and depth control, supporting stronger yields and more predictable\u00a0outcomes.<\/p>\n

The system has already been deployed internationally across a wide range of crops and conditions. The introduction of Plant Tape to the\u00a0Australian market marks a new option for growers looking to modernise operations and respond to ongoing\u00a0labour and cost pressures.<\/p>\n

\u201cPlant Tape represents a new era of transplanting,\u201d said Lance Portman, President of Plant Tape. \u201cWe\u2019re excited to bring\u00a0this proven technology to Australian growers and support the industry with solutions that deliver long term\u00a0performance.\u201d<\/p>\n

At Vic Vid, the technology was showcased publicly in Australia for the first time, with the system on display alongside\u00a0seedling trays, giving growers and industry stakeholders the opportunity to see how it works up close.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe timing for Plant Tape in Australia is critical,\u201d said David Fragapane, director of Plant Tape Australia. \u201cGrowers are\u00a0under pressure from labour shortages and rising costs, and this system offers a practical, scalable way to improve\u00a0efficiency and consistency in the field. I believe Plant Tape, may well be the single most important innovation for\u00a0Australian Farmers in many years.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Global\u00a0transplanting technology provider Plant Tape officially launched its presence in Australia at Vic Vid 2026.\u00a0The Plant Tape system…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":669976,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[64,63,44],"class_list":["post-669975","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-australia","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/669975","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=669975"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/669975\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/669976"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=669975"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=669975"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=669975"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
