This present invention provides an automatic pot seedlings feeding mechanism for semi-automatic transplanter, comprising a transmission mechanism, a slider-crank mechanism, a stop lever, a side plate, a resetting mechanism and a bearing with bearing support. The transmission mechanism includes a transmission shaft I, a driving wheel, a transmission shaft II, a transmission shaft III and a conveyor belt. Under the performance of the conveyor belt, the pot seedlings are transported forward to the position of the stop lever. The slider-crank mechanism comprises a crank, a slider bar and a sliding chute, the crank and the driving wheel are connected through a revolute pair A, which is on the driving wheel, but not at the center of the driving wheel. The slider is securely connected with the resetting mechanism.

A transplanting robot applicable to a greenhouse includes a walking device and planting devices; the walking device includes a chassis, a driving assembly mounted on the chassis, and several walking leg modules arranged on two sides of the chassis; each walking leg module is provided with the planting device that moves synchronously with the walking leg module; the driving assembly is provided with a walking motor; and the walking motor outputs power to two transmission shafts through a transmission assembly and two independent electromagnetic clutches. When any electromagnetic clutch is turned on, the corresponding transmission shaft outputs, through transmission gears on the transmission shaft, power to the walking leg module connected to the electromagnetic clutch.

Reforestation capsules composed of biodegradable materials are operable to be used in aerial reforestation operations. Capsules may contain one or more seedlings, compacted fertilizer, soil, and/or nutrients. Capsules include a flight platform component and cone tip component. The capsule structure survives impact and may serve as additional nutrient for the seedling(s). A housing unit sized and configured to contain and dispense capsules can be mounted or otherwise housed in an aircraft to deliver capsules.

A metering system for an agricultural system includes an inductor. The inductor includes a receiving portion configured to receive plantlet casings at a feed rate, a conduit coupled to the receiving portion and configured to receive the plantlet casings from the receiving portion, where the conduit is configured to convey the plantlet casings to at least one row unit, an air source fluidly coupled to the conduit and configured to provide an air flow through the conduit to convey the plantlet casings to the at least one row unit, and a physical feature configured to block flow of the plantlet casings toward the air source.

The disclosed device and process includes a biodegradable bag or sack, referred to as a sediment tube, that is filled with sand and placed in a prop scar or blow hole. The sediment tube corrects many issues created a prop scar or blowhole: (1) the trench or hole is filled, restoring the elevation of the scar to the surround grade of the seagrass; (2) the sediment tubes stabilize the scar, preventing further erosion of the sand by the flow of water; (3) the sediment tube optionally includes fine-grained sediments that promote seagrass growth and recovery; and (4) the sediment tube includes fertilizer and/or other chemical or minerals that encourage growth.

An efficient transplanting device with an automatic seedling pick-up and supplementation function includes a seedling pick-up device, a seedling discharging device, and a seedling supplementation device. The seedling discharging device is used to discharge plug seedlings for transplantation; the seedling pick-up device is used to transfer the plug seedlings and the seedling supplementation device is used to supplement the plug seeding. A seedling pick-up photoelectric sensor, a detection camera, and a controller are provided for the operations of plug seedling pick-up, supplementation and discharge of the plug seedlings.

An autonomous travel system equipped with a first travel route creation unit, a second travel route creation unit, a linked route creation unit, and a storage unit. The first travel route creation unit is capable of creating a first travel route. The second travel route creation unit is capable of creating a second travel route. The linked route creation unit has a function for creating the second travel route in conjunction with the creation of the first travel route by the first travel route creation unit and/or a function for creating the first travel route in conjunction with the creation of the second travel route by the second travel route creation unit. The storage unit stores, in association with each other, the travel route created by the first travel route creation unit or the second travel route creation unit, and the travel route created by the linked route creation unit.

A method for micro-ridge mixed-sowing cultivation of rice includes: S1: draining away water at the maturity stage of the preceding crop until reaching a state allowing a harvester to operate; S2: harvesting the preceding crop, leaving the stubble, smashing the stalks of the preceding crop, and then spreading the smashed stalks on the stubble to form a rhizosphere layer for rice growth; S3: trenching the field to form ecological trenches; S4: flattening the standing stubble and the smashed stalks on the seedbed surface to form an underlying surface, molding seed-fertilizer-soil compounds into a ridge shape and fall the seed-fertilizer-soil compounds on the underlying surface to form ecological ridges, wherein a plurality of ecological ridges are formed between adjacent ecological trenches, and the seed-fertilizer-soil compounds are obtained by thoroughly mixing rice seeds, chemical fertilizers and soil at a mass ratio of 6 to 14:50 to 70:6,000 to 10,000.
