ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for transplanting crops includes a vehicular frame and a carriage reciprocally shiftable relative to the length of the frame. Plural fluid dispensing nozzles are mounted on the carriage for injecting fluid jets into the ground to form elongate, crop receiving cavities. The carriage is maintained substantially immobile relative to the ground during fluid injection while the frame may be continuously advanced. After the cavities are formed, seedlings are manually introduced thereinto.
