Premature cultivation

Japanese: 早熟栽培 - そうじゅくさいばい（英語表記）premature cultivation

A method of growing vegetables in which seedlings are raised in a greenhouse and then planted in the open for early harvest. Planting must occur when the temperature in each growing area has risen sufficiently for the crops to grow safely. Therefore, the sowing period is earlier than that by the period of seedling raising. A method of cultivating vegetables in which the temperature is kept constant throughout the entire growing period is called forcing cultivation, and is distinguished from early maturing cultivation.

Japanese:

温床内で育苗し，のち露地に定植して収穫を早める野菜の栽培方法。定植の時期はそれぞれの栽培地で気温が十分上昇し，作物が安全に生育しうるときでなければならない。したがって播種期はそれより育苗期間だけさかのぼったときになる。栽培の全期間保温する栽培方法は促成栽培といい，早熟栽培と区別される。
