PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a seedling-transplanter equipped with a seedling-transplanting mechanism 14, having a pair of transplanting bodies 27 so as to perform transplantation of the seedlings by intermittent reciprocating motions toward a field and a seedling-conveying mechanism 13 for supplying the seedlings to the transplanting bodies of the seedling-transplanting mechanism, one by one in a traveling machine body 4, made capable of readily irrigating the transplanted seedlings.SOLUTION: This seedling-transplanter is provided by installing a cutting blade 30 for mulch film D covering the upper surface of a field, so as to protrude facing upward at a part of a transplanting blade 27a at the tip end of the transplanting body, in at either of the pair of the transplanting bodies 27 of the seedling-transplanting mechanism 14.COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT【課題】走行機体4に,圃場に向かう間欠的な往復動にて苗の植付けを行うようにした一対の植付け体27を有する苗植付け機構14と,苗を前記苗植付け機構の植付け体に一株ずつ供給する苗搬送機構13とを備えた苗移植機において,植付けた苗に対する灌水を容易にする。【解決手段】前記苗植付け機構14における一対の植付け体27のうち少なくとも一方には,当該植付け体の先端における植付け刃27aの部分に,前記圃場の上面を覆うマルチフィルムDに対する切断刃30を上向きに突出するように設ける。【選択図】図1
