PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a seedling planting apparatus designed to plant seedlings for two rows with one relatively small-sized rotary case. SOLUTION: The seedling planting apparatus is obtained by installing seedling planting tools 26 in the three final shafts 25 provided at a nearly regular interval in the rotative direction of a rotor 21 and rotatably supporting each of the final shafts 25 supported with the rotor 21 on the outer fixing supporting part 20 mounted through each bearing 22 on the machine body. The bearings 22 for supporting the rotor 21 on the machine body and rotating the rotor 21 are installed in each of the final shafts 25 and the rotor 21 is supported with the plurality of bearings 22. Thereby, each bearing 22 can be miniaturized and the weight of the rotor 21 can thereby be reduced. As a result, the rotor 21 can smoothly be rotated and the planting accuracy of the seedlings can be improved. Since the final shafts 25 can directly be supported with the bearings 22, the position accuracy of each of the final shafts 25 can be improved and the amount of uprooting of the seedlings from a seedling-carrying platform 13 by the seedling planting tools 26 and the planting accuracy such as seedling planting depth in a field can be improved.
