PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a grafted seedling producing apparatus with an easy structure, with respect to seedlings having soft seed leaves to be developed in a bifoliate condition, capable of efficiently performing a grafting process through surely arranging the development axis direction of the seed leaf in a prescribed direction without depending on manpower work and damaging seed leaves.SOLUTION: This grafted seedling producing apparatus 1 is composed of a gathering part 2 receiving seedlings and separately gathering the seedlings as scion or stock, a pretreatment part 4 pretreating the seedlings W and conveying to a grafting attaching position, and an attaching process part 7 attaching the seedlings W received from the pretreatment part 4 to scion or stock. The gathering part 2 is set with a freely fitting holding mechanism 12 capable of loosely rotatably holding the hypocotyl of the seedlings while cutting the roots of the received seedlings, a transporting mechanism 13 supporting the freely fitting holding mechanism 12 and performing transportation action, and a direction revising member 14 to adjust the seed leaf developing direction to the transportation direction through interfering with the seed leaves L of the seedlings W in a transportation process with the transportation mechanism.COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI【課題】双葉状に展開する柔らかな子葉を有する苗について、人手作業によることなく、子葉を傷めずにその展開軸線方向を確実に所定方向に揃えて能率良く接木処理することができる簡易な構成の接木苗製造装置を提供する。【解決手段】接木苗製造装置1は、苗を受けてこれを穂木または台木として個別に取込処理する取込部2と、その苗Wを前処理して接木接着位置まで搬送する前処理部4と、この前処理部4から受けた苗Wを台木または穂木と接着する接着処理部7とを備えて構成され、上記取込部2は、受けた苗の根側を切断しつつその胚軸を回動可能に緩く把持可能な遊嵌把持機構12と、この遊嵌把持機構12を支持して移送動作する移送機構13と、この移送機構13による移送行程上で苗Wの子葉Lと干渉することによってその子葉展開方向を移送方向に合わせるための方向修正部材14と設けたものである。【選択図】図1
