In viticulture , the young grapevine that is used to plant a new vineyard is known as a seedling; this is created by grafting onto substrates .

In fish farming , sapling means a young fish which, depending on the species, is usually between 5 and 20 cm long and which is released into a body of water in a group for replenishment. This is particularly common in waters where natural reproduction of fish is not sufficient due to overfishing, for example, or is not possible due to hydraulic engineering measures such as barrages in rivers.
