ABSTRACT:
A seed planter unit includes a frame adapted for connection to a prime mover, a furrow opener carried on the frame for opening a furrow in the grond in response to advancing movement of the frame, a seed tape dispenser operative to support an elongated biodegradable seed laden tape, structure for directing the tape downwardly from the dispenser into ground engagement behind the furrow opener and a first press wheel carried on the frame at a position to roll over the dispensed tape and hold it in a generally stationary position against the ground in response to advancing movement of the frame. Soil covering discs and a second press wheel may follow the first press wheel for burying and stabilizing the seed tape within the ground. Fertilizer and agricultural chemicals may be incorporated into the seed tape or separately dispensed tapes for controlled application adjacent the planted crops.
