ABSTRACT:
In a tomato field in which the tomato plants are grown in a plurality of substantially parallel rows an apparatus is advanced along a predetermined one of the rows. The apparatus cuts the tomato plants in the row, carries the cut plants rearwardly and discharges them onto a transverse conveyor. The transverse conveyor transfers and deposits the cut plants laterally onto a parallel row of uncut plants in a row located at a predetermined distance from the row being cut, thereby uniting two rows of plants for subsequent harvesting by a mechanical tomato harvester.
