Discussion

Richard Boulter Jun 2, 2010:
My own search raises nothing more. However, there IS more. You can search Terminology on ProZ and from 'personal glossaries' there are 3 amplifying entries: one associates 'almacigo' with 'beds' which could support the present suggestions of 'seedbed', 'germination' and 'sowing'. But the other two refer to it as a type of tree; one gives scientific names and another lists common names of trees/wood products. Unfortuantely, none of these give their sources or further references. Perhaps you can use the other specific names to find a proper rendition that lies within your source context. Just from the source wording in Spanish, I would guess that the 'seedbedding/germination (and transplanting) ...' suggestion is the likely intention, here.

The suggestions offered here and their references are nice, but I don't quite see how they confirm a translation for the query term.

Peer comment(s):

agree Richard Boulter : Stylistically, I think that 'germination process' flows better than 'seedbedding process'; as far as I know they are the same action when tied to '... and transplanting...'.
