Problem to be solved: to provide a method for supplying a paper tube seedling to an implantable machine with an increase in planting efficiency in an automatic transfer machine using an array of seedlings, such as paper tube seedlings, which can be separated into individual seedlings.Solution: in the transplanter, which is provided with a seedling receiving conveyor 11 for receiving and transporting a row of seedlings P and receiving and transporting to the separation device 30, and then separated into individual seedlings, and then fed to the planting apparatus, the next row of seedlings P is delivered to the preceding column like seedlings p conveyed on the conveyor surface of the seedling receiving conveyor It is superimposed on top.Diagram【課題】 個々の苗に分離可能に連結した紙筒苗のような整列苗を使用する移植機において、一列の苗列の供給でも植付能率が向上する移植機への紙筒苗の供給方法を提供する。【解決手段】 列状の苗Pを倒置して受入、搬送する苗苗受入コンベア11を備え、分離装置30へ受け渡して個々の苗に分離し、その後植付装置に供給する移植機において、苗苗受入コンベア11の搬送面上を搬送される先行する列状の苗Pに次の列状の苗Pをその上に重ねて供給するようにした。【選択図】図1
