PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a seedling transplanter which can steadily wash off soil adhered to the inside faces of nipping members.SOLUTION: In the seedling transplanter plate-like nipping members are attached to the tip portions of a pair of transplantation tines so that the side faces of the nipping members face each other the transplantation tines are downward moved in a state nipping the vine-like stem portion of a seedling with both the nipping members to insert and transplant the stem portion in a field and water can be sprayed on the transplanted seedling through water-supplying routes. The final end portions of the water-supplying routes are disposed at the neighborhood of each nipping member, and each of the final end portions is directed to spray water on the inside faces of the mutually facing nipping members. Therefore, soil adhered to the inside faces of the nipping members facing the final end portions can steadily be washed off.COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT【課題】挟持体の内側面に付着した土を堅実に洗い落とすこと。【解決手段】一対の移植爪の先端部に板状の挟持体を側面部同士が対面するように取り付け、両挟持体で苗の蔓状の茎部を挟持した状態にて移植爪を下方へ移動させて圃場中に茎部を挿入して移植すると共に、移植した苗には水供給路を通して灌水可能となした苗移植機であって、各挟持体の近傍に水供給路の終端部を配置すると共に、各終端部は対向する挟持体の内側面に灌水するように指向させた。そのため、各終端部と対向する挟持体の内側面に付着した土を堅実に洗い落とすことができる。【選択図】図17
