Discussion

Ramey Rieger (X) Aug 10, 2018:
Good morning Martina! IF these are seed packets, then keep it as clear and simple as possible. 'Indoor, early cultivation' may be an option, if you really want to use the word 'cultivation.' In both cases - still assuming these are seed packets - the 'mit' and 'bei' are superfluous. Indoor seeding vs. outdoor/direct seeding.
Herbmione Granger Aug 9, 2018:
Ramey has provided a good description.
If you want something more international, crop scientists use direct seeding vs transplanting. https://www.cropsreview.com/methods-of-planting.html
So "Amount of seed needed for direct seeding: , for transplanting: ."
martina1974 (asker) Aug 9, 2018:
thanks a lot, Ramey! And what about "preparatory cultivation"?
Ramey Rieger (X) Aug 9, 2018:
Hi Martina! If you're translating seed packages to be sold on an international market, pre-cultivation will not be understood. It could easily be confused with germination, which would only mean sprouting the seeds before planting in the outdoor beds and NOT growing seedlings to be transferred to out outdoor beds once a certain temperature/weather condition has be reached that is conducive to further growth.
martina1974 (asker) Aug 9, 2018:
thanks to everyone for your valuable help. I am just wondering why I can't say "pre-cultivation"? Does it not fit into a botanical context?

when starting seeds indoors

It's the opposite of Direktsaat.

One should expect different germination rates. About 3:1 nursed/direct-sown is reasonable.

Phil Goddard and Heike Holthaus agree that this is how people normally express this.

Alternatively, 'using seed starting trays'.

From my seed packet for Zucchini, something grown in the region:
Aussaat: Mitte April Vorkultur in Aussaatgefaessen im Haus, Mitte Mai bis Juni ins Freiland.

Plain ' for transplanting' might suite you better.

https://www.growingformarket.com/articles/Growing-fennel-bul...
There are about 200 seeds per gram, 7,000 seeds per ounce. The average direct seeding rate is 1000 seeds/100', 700'/ounce, or an average of 4,000 transplants/ounce of seed. Each diner could eat up to five fennel bulbs over a season.

Bei + [Methode] often means 'using', for example, bei Chromatographie. 'With chromatography' means doing X using chromatography. Therefore, there is no difference in meaning.

In your cases, mit/bei Vorkultur means starting seeds in containers, raising them to seedlings/immature plants and, finally, transplanting them, usually spacing them further apart in the earth. We don't have a term for all this in English, but if you say 'starting indoors' or 'for transplanting', especially as a contrast with 'direct seeding/sowing', in the seeding instructions, it would be understood as if doing the whole process.

agree Anne Schulz : Yes, "indoor seed starting" looks most promising on the www

Thanks, Anne! I've seen Vorkultur used this way very often.

sorry

that should be


by sowing
Peer comment(s):

neutral Herbmione Granger : Sowing is Aussaat. Vorkultur refers to starting plants in containers and then transplanting them to the ground.

disagree Armorel Young : How would you then distinguish it from Direktsaat? //"bei" has all sorts of different meanings/translations, depending on context - just think of "bei uns", "bei Bedarf", "bei der Arbeit", "bei diesem Wetter", "beim Schreiben" - none of those is "by"
1 hr
mit = with, bei = by doesn't it? Well, by sowing is perfectly good English.

starting seeds under cover

The seeds don't need to be started "indoors" as the climate is usually warm enough. On the contrary the beans need shade.

You could use propagation.

To propagate from seed, sow the seed in pots in the late winter or early spring in a cold frame.

...you may want to get a head start for the growing season by sowing under cover...
https://www.rhs.org.uk/advice/profile?PID=999

There are basically two methods of sowing seeds; sowing under cover and direct sowing outside.
https://www.seasonalgardening.co.uk/propagating_from_seed.ht...

Sowing under cover. Hardy crops that are usually grown outdoors can be sown under cloches or in the soil beds of a greenhouse or polytunnel

And now directly related to cocoa!

Nursery bed is the name for the place where the seeds are sown to make them germinate.
...
A good grower should sow cocoa seeds in nursery beds:

indoor seeding

Or early (indoor) cultivation - the term Vorziehen would be the German equivalent.

As a general rule, cacao trees get their start in a nursery bed
where seeds from high yielding trees are planted in fiber baskets
or plastic bags.
