摘要：
Described herein is an apparatus useful in the transplantation of plants. The apparatus for transplanting plants comprises a transplanting module (1) configured to transplant a plurality of plants in a row, the transplanting module comprising: a soil contacting surface (skid plate) 3 being substantially planar to a soil to planted, a keel member (4) to create a furrow in the soil where the keel extends a predefined distance below the soil contacting surface, where an outer periphery of the keel member defines the depth of the furrow, a carrying means configured to support the plant, where the carrying means (5, 31, 32, 33, 34) extend from a position that is above the soil contacting surface and below the soil contacting surface, and extending a predefined depth into the furrow for transporting of the plant from the apparatus and into the furrow where the carrying means has a distal end for discharging the plant, and where the carrying means are configured to expose an outer periphery of the plant below the soil contacting surface so that at least one side wall of the furrow comes into contact with an outer periphery of the plant before the plant is discharged from the distal end of the carrying means, a transport means for supporting and transporting the plant via the carrying means and into the furrow along a longitudinal axis that is substantially parallel to the planting direction of the apparatus, where the transport means is configured to release the plant when the plant has reached its predefined depth into the furrow.
