ABSTRACT:
The invention provides a seedling transportation apparatus of a simple structure wherein a new seedling tray can be supplied readily without immediately removing an emptied old seedling tray and does not interfere, when it is moved toward the downstream side in a transportation direction, with a transportation operation for a seedling. To this end, transportation of a seedling tray is performed not in an upright condition or in a curved or bent condition but in a horizontal condition. The seedling transportation apparatus for a transplantation machine includes a seedling taking out apparatus for taking out a seedling upwardly from a seedling tray having seeding accommodating cells in which seedlings are accommodated, a tray transportation apparatus having a horizontal transport path for transporting the seedling tray toward the seedling taking out apparatus, a seedling carrying out conveyor disposed at a location higher than the horizontal transport path of the tray transportation apparatus, and a transferring apparatus for transferring the seedling taken out by the seedling taking out apparatus onto the seedling carrying out conveyor.
