The beam is attached to the vehicle main unit along the vehicle width direction, and is longer than the vehicle width of the vehicle main unit. The plurality of planting devices are attached to the beam.

A mechanized device to plant vegetables. The device includes a first actuator to enable horizontal movement of a planting module and a second actuator to enable vertical movement of the planting module. The horizontal movement and the vertical movement of the planting module are carried out in a synchronized manner.

A first machine of a tree planting system includes: a cultivator cultivating soil where a plant for tree planting is to be planted; a first traveling device traveling with the cultivator; and a cultivated position detector obtaining and outputting actual cultivated positions corresponding to positions of the cultivator while the cultivator travels with the first traveling device and cultivates the soil. A management device of the tree planting system stores actual cultivated positions. A second machine of the tree planting system includes: a planting device planting a plant in the soil; a second traveling device traveling with the planting device; a planting device position detector obtaining a position of the planting device; and a controller controlling a position of the planting device based on: actual cultivated positions acquired from the management device; and the position of the planting device at the timing when a plant is planted.

A plant dispensing unit for planting plants may include a set of ejectors for engaging and retaining plant balls of a row of plant balls in a tray having a plurality of rows. Each ejector may be configured to eject the engaged plant ball with force. A plant dispensing unit may include a funnel assembly configured to receive an ejected plant ball and direct it to a shoe configured to receive the ejected plant ball from the funnel and position the plant ball for planting. A plant dispensing unit may include a control system coupled to an ejector drive system a shoe drive system, for operatively coordinating actions of the plant dispensing unit. A plant dispensing unit may include a flat feeder for operating a tray feeding system of the plant dispensing unit to index rows of the tray for engagement by the ejectors.

A seedbed supporting member and a panel supporting member are configured such that, in a state where a seedbed held in a first seedbed holding member and a through hole portion of a first panel overlap with each other, a seedbed held in a second seedbed holding member and a through hole portion of a second panel, which correspond to this seedbed and this through hole portion, respectively, overlap with each other. An arrangement spacing in a first direction between the through hole portion of the first panel and the through hole portion of the second panel corresponding to each other is equal to an arrangement spacing in the first direction between a first transplantation arm and a second transplantation arm.

Provided is a transplanting device for performing transplanting between a plurality of culture medium boards cultivating a plurality of plants planted in an aligned manner. The transplanting device includes a transplanting mechanism for transplanting the plants, where the transplanting mechanism performs alternately a step of arranging plants having been arranged in a grid form on a culture medium board of a transplanting source, into a zigzag form on a culture medium board of a transplanting destination, and a step of arranging plants having been arranged in a zigzag form on a culture medium board of a transplanting source, into a grid form on a culture medium board of a transplanting destination.

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 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.

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.
