PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fertilizer feeding device for a seedling transplanter, capable of preventing water from being mixed into fertilizer regardless of weather conditions of a working location when feeding the fertilizer to a fertilizing device, and also eliminating the need for extra work by a worker when feeding the fertilizer.SOLUTION: A seedling transplanter includes a seedling planting part 5 mounted on a rear part of a driving vehicle body 1, and a fertilizing device 8 arranged therein. The seedling planting part 5 includes a float 2 sliding on a soil surface while leveling the soil surface, a seedling tank 3 mounting and delivering mat seedlings, a planting device 4 for separating and planting the seedlings delivered from the seedling tank 3, and others. The fertilizing device 8 includes a fertilizing hopper 6, a delivering device 7 for delivering the fertilizer from the fertilizing hopper 6, and others, and supplies the fertilizer to the soil surface on which the seedlings are planted by the planting device 4. In a front part of the vehicle body 1, a fertilizer tank 9 is provided for receiving supply of the fertilizer and storing the fertilizer, and a conveying duct 10 is arranged for conveying and supplying the fertilizer in the fertilizer tank 9 to the fertilizing hopper 6.COPYRIGHT: (C)2014,JPO&INPIT【課題】施肥装置に肥料を供給する際、作業場所の気象条件にかかわらず肥料に水が混入することが防止できると共に、作業者が肥料の供給作業時に余分な労力を費やす必要のない苗移植機の肥料供給装置を提供する。【解決手段】走行車体1の後部に、土壌面を滑走均平するフロート2や、マット苗を載せて繰出す苗タンク3、及びこの苗タンク3から繰出される苗を分離挿植する植付装置4等からなる苗植付部5を装着すると共に、施肥ホッパ6や、この施肥ホッパ6の肥料を繰出す繰出装置7等からなり植付装置4によって苗植される土壌面に施肥する施肥装置8を配置した苗移植機において、車体1の前部に肥料の供給を受けて収容する肥料タンク9を設け、この肥料タンク9の肥料を施肥ホッパ6へ搬送供給する搬送ダクト10を設けて構成する。【選択図】 図1
