PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the problems of a conventional seeding machine to seed on a nursery cabinet holding a plurality of raising seedling pots, comprising the lowering of the efficiency of a seeding work to the nursery cabinet owing to the necessity for forming a space between the nursery cabinets, and the failure in the seeding to the nursery cabinet owing to the drop of seeds from the seeding device through the space between the cabinets.SOLUTION: The seeding machine is provided with transfer tools 17, 18 having protrusions 17a, 18a to hook the transfer holes of the nursery cabinet 2 to transfer the cabinet 2, wherein the positions to hook the transfer holes with the protrusions 17a, 18a are placed at the upstream side and the downstream side of the seeding position of the seeding device 7, the hooking position of the upstream side and the hooking position of the downstream side are separated by a distance longer than the length of the nursery cabinet 2 in the transfer direction, and the distances between the seeding position and the hooking position of the upstream side and between the seeding position and the hooking position of the downstream side are set to be shorter than the length of the nursery cabinet 2 in transfer direction.COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT【課題】 複数の育苗ポットを備える育苗器に播種する従来の播種機は、育苗器どうしの間の間隔を空ける必要があるため、その分育苗器への播種作業の作業能率が低下したり、播種装置からの種子が育苗器に播種されずに前記間隔を通って落下したりする課題がある。【解決手段】 育苗器(2)の搬送用の孔を引っ掛けて育苗器(2)を搬送する突部(17a,18a)を備える搬送具(17,18)を設け、前記突部(17a,18a)が搬送用の孔を引っ掛ける位置を播種装置(7)の播種位置の搬送上手側及び搬送下手側に各々設け、この搬送上手側の前記引っ掛ける位置と搬送下手側の前記引っ掛ける位置とを育苗器(2)の搬送方向の長さ以上の間隔を空けて設定し、播種位置と搬送上手側の前記引っ掛ける位置との間及び播種位置と搬送下手側の前記引っ掛ける位置との間の距離を育苗器(2)の搬送方向の長さより短く設定した。【選択図】 図2
