Note

An area of controversy in transplanting seagrasses is the use of root stimulants. Usually some concentration of naphthalene acetic acid (NAPH) is applied to the plant's root-rhizome system before transplanting. Kelly et al. (1971) in their work with Thalassia testudinum found that soaking short shoots for one hour in a 10% solution of NAPH resulted in 100% survival when construction rods were used as anchors. They felt that the use of NAPH was one of the main factors contributing to transplant success.
