摘要： Method for repotting plants wherein a rootball is moved from a first rootball container to a second rootball container using a planting head. The planting head has legs which legs are provided with pins which may be in a first retracted position and in a second extended position, wherein in a first step the planting head is brought above the rootball surface; in a second step the distance of the distal ends of the legs to the central axis of the planting head is reduced; in a third step the pins are inserted into the rootball; in a fourth step the distal ends of the legs are brought closer together; after which the rootball is taken out of the first rootball container and deposited into the second rootball container. The invention also relates to an apparatus for carrying out the method.

摘要： An apparatus configured to facilitate removal of a growing medium and the root structure of a plant surrounded by the growing medium while maintaining the integrity of the growing medium and root structure. The apparatus comprises a U-shaped connector body having a first blade and a second blade extended down there from. The first blade has a first end and a second end to which the first end of the U-shaped connector body is connected. The connection of the first blade to the U-shaped connector body is at an angle causing the first blade to extend downward when the U-shaped connector body is positioned horizontally. The second blade has a first end and a second end to which the second end of the U-shaped connector body is connected. The connection of the second blade to the U-shaped body is at an angle causing the second blade to extend downward when the U-shaped connector body is positioned horizontally. The apparatus is configured such that the distance between the first and second blade may be decreased upon applying pressure to the first and second ends of the U-shaped connector body. Decreasing the distance between the first and second blades allows for the positioning of the blades to facilitate insertion of the first and second blades down a sidewall assembly of a container cell. During insertion of the first and second blades into a container cell, the first and second blades are positioned between the interior walls of the cell sidewall assembly and a growing medium that surrounds a plant root structure. Applying pressure to the first and second ends of the u-shaped connector causes the first and second blades to press against the growing medium and facilitate removal of the growing medium upon the lifting of the apparatus.

摘要： Embodiments focus on imparting a horizontally shifting motion to a plant punch element 1 during a part of a plant punch cycle 18 so as to reduce contact of a plant punching surface 38 with the plant during the plant punch. Plant punch elements that are particularly suited for such “shifting” capability may include a gap 41 facilitating lateral movement of the plant punch element to a position around at least part of the plant to be punched. Aspects of the inventive technology also address a sheltering plant punch apparatus that can also reduce injury and stress experienced by the plant while it is punched. Combinations of aspects disclosed herein provide a high degree of protection to the plant during a plant punch, thereby reducing stress experienced by the plant during the punch.

摘要： An automated planter includes a locating device arranged to locate a propagation tray; at least one plant extraction device adapted to pull a plant out of a propagation tray located by the locating device; and a delivery assembly arranged to receive a plant extracted by the at least one plant extraction device and deliver the received plant to the ground. The planter lifts the plants out of their cells in the tray by inserting fingers, which are caused to converge to pinch the root ball. A plant transport includes two tracks, such that one can be loaded while the other is transporting plants to the delivery assembly.

摘要： A molded plant tray is provided in the form of a unitary molded plastic member formed of relatively light foamed plastic and having downwardly extending tapered plant cells for receiving planting medium in which individual seedlings are grown. The plant tray is provided with integral drive member receiving groove means in the form of U-shaped grooves along bottom portions of intermediate walls that define the plant cells. An alignment groove can also be provided perpendicular to the drive member receiving groove means and bisecting the length of the drive member receiving groove means for accurate positioning of the plant tray relative to drive members. In a second embodiment a relatively hard plastic insert is molded, manufactured or adhesively secured to create a dual body tray in the molded plastic member and defines the plant cells.
