Site Preparation and Automatic Machine Planting of Containerized Stock

An automatic planting machine has been developed for the planting of peat pots and paperpots. Planting and site preparation are carried out simultaneously, the latter by integral hydraulically driven double-blade scarifiers. The machine automatically selects the best planting spot and adjusts row spacing to maintain the required plant density. Different types of planting machine can be produced depending on the desired scarification method and planting conditions.
