apparatus for transplanting plants, and method for transplanting a plurality of plants in a row. It is a useful device for transplanting plants. the plant transplant apparatus comprises a transplant module configured to transplant a plurality of plants in a row, the transplant module comprising: a ground contact surface (protective plate) that is substantially flat on a planting soil, a coulter member to create a groove in the ground where the coulter extends a predefined distance below the ground contact surface, where an outer periphery of the coulter member defines the depth of the groove, a loading means configured to support the plant, wherein the loading means extends from a position that is above the ground contact surface and below the ground contact surface and extends to a predefined depth in the groove for the support the plant from the apparatus and in the groove, wherein the loading means has a distal end for unloading the plant and wherein the loading means are They are not configured to expose an outer periphery of the plant below the ground-contacting surface so that at least one sidewall of the groove contacts an outer periphery of the plant before the plant is discharged from the distal end of the media. a means of transport for supporting and transporting the plant through the loading means and in the groove along a longitudinal geometrical axis that is substantially parallel to the planting direction of the apparatus, wherein the means of transport is configured to release the plant when it reaches its predefined depth in the groove.aparelho para transplantar plantas, e método para transplantar uma pluralidade de plantas em uma fileira. trata-se de um aparelho útil no transplante de plantas. o aparelho para transplantar plantas compreende um módulo de transplante configurado para transplantar uma pluralidade de plantas em uma fileira, sendo que o módulo de transplante compreende: uma superfície de contato com o solo (placa protetora) que é substa
