PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To increase strength of a planting claw.SOLUTION: Planting claws 30a and 30b for a rice transplanter 1 are used to scratch off seedlings with one root from a seedling mat that is loaded on a seedling loading platform 29 of the rice transplanter 1. The planting claws 30a and 30b have a pair of claw parts 305a and 305a or 305b and 305b, which have one-end sides 303a and 303b formed in a bifurcate shape. Between-claws grooves 309a and 309b between the pair of claw parts 305a and 305a or 305b and 305b have ends 310a and 310b on the sides of claw base parts 361a and 361b formed in a sharper shape than a semicircular shape in a plan view.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 23【課題】植付爪の強度を向上させる。【解決手段】田植機１用の植付爪３０ａ，３０ｂは、田植機１の苗載台２９に載置された苗マットから１株分の苗を掻き取るためのものである。植付爪３０ａ，３０ｂは、一端側３０３ａ，３０３ｂが二股状に形成されてなる一対の爪部３０５ａ，３０５ａ又は３０５ｂ，３０５ｂを有すると共に、一対の爪部３０５ａ，３０５ａ及び３０５ｂ，３０５ｂの間の爪間溝３０９ａ，３０９ｂは、爪付け根部３６１ａ，３６１ｂ側の端部３１０ａ，３１０ｂが平面視で半円形よりも尖形に形成されている。【選択図】図２３
