ABSTRACT:
A plant marker which serves not only to facilitate the implant of seeds at the proper depth, but also functioning to encourage the upward growth of the seedlings. The marker is constituted by a tab which is insertable in soil to a depth determined by a ground line which divides the front face of the tab into a short lower section and a longer upper section. Mounted across the lower section is a piece of bio-degradable tape encapsulating the seeds to be planted. The upper section is coated with a light-reflecting layer whereby when the marker is buried in soil, the resultant seedlings will intercept the rays of the sun advancing toward the upper section and will be directly exposed to incident rays on one side, the other side of the seedlings being exposed to reflected radiation, whereby the seedlings will not elongate and incline toward the source of the rays but will grow upwardly.
