Provided is a precision sowing device for rice pot seedling raising. The device includes a rack, a seed storage mechanism, a seed suction mechanism, and a driving mechanism. The seed suction mechanism includes a seed suction cylinder, and a circulation assembly. The sowing mechanism includes a sowing cylinder rotatably arranged on the rack, and multiple sowing troughs corresponding to multiple suction nozzles one by one are arranged on an outer wall of the sowing cylinder. The driving mechanism is used to drive the seed suction cylinder and the sowing cylinder to rotate in the same direction clockwise or counterclockwise around axes thereof, such that the suction nozzle and the sowing trough are opposite to each other and have opposite movement trends, and seeds on the suction nozzle can be scraped into the sowing trough by an inner wall of the sowing trough.

Disclosed herein is a system for growing and harvesting living matter. The system includes trays. The system also includes a racking portion, including at least one rack having shelves vertically spaced apart from each other and a robot selectively operable to deliver the trays to and retrieve the trays from the shelves. The system further includes a processing portion, including a harvester configured to receive the trays from the shelves and to remove living matter from the trays, and a seeder configured to receive the trays from the harvester and to distribute seed to the trays. The system additionally includes an electronic controller operable to autonomously control operation of the robot to deliver the trays, after seeded by the seeder, to the shelves and to retrieve the trays, when the seed has grown into the living matter, from the shelves.

A device and method for inserting seeds in a capsule includes a seed bin for storing a plurality of plant seeds and a materials bin for storing a growing medium, enables a first tray and a second tray to move to a plurality of positions. At vacuum needle generates a vacuum suction at a tip sufficient to extract a plant seed from a bin. A robot arm, moves the vacuum needle to a plurality of positions. Circuitry controls the motor. When the vacuum suction from the vacuum needle is removed, the seed picked up by the vacuum needle is released into a capsule body.

The various embodiments of the present invention provide a system and method for enabling an automatic seeder apparatus. The embodiments also provide a system and method for providing a portable seeder apparatus that does not entail any specific additional external mechanism for its operation. The system comprises a gravity-based seed dispensing system that enables a completely automatic seeder apparatus without any manual operations such as seed-feeding or alignment. The system comprises a conveyor, a seeder machine stand, a hopper, a seed dispensing tray with a hole seat, a bottom tray with holes, a seeding tray sensing sensor, a solenoid plunger, and a control box. The system enables a portable tabletop seeder apparatus that does not require any additional external mechanisms such as vacuum arrangements, air compressors, or any other mechanical push-pull mechanisms for its functioning.

A system for producing a seed and/or fertilizer filled plant growth medium pot, rod, or band is provided. The system includes a supporting means (adapted for receiving and supporting a plant growth medium pot, rod, or band), a feeding tube adapted to be in a retracted position or an extended position (for insertion into the growth medium), and a delivery unit (adapted for delivering a seed and/or a dosage of fertilizer through the feeding tube and into the growth medium). The feeding tube includes a cutting means, preferably a knife blade, mounted at the tip of the feeding tube. The cutting means is adapted for cutting into the plant growth medium pot, rod, or band, thereby facilitating the movement of the feeding tube into the plant growth medium pot, rod, or band.
