ABSTRACT:
The machine is adapted to transplant plants in bare soils or covered by a plastic film, in which case the plastic film is applied by the machine itself which is provided with at least one multiple-arm device pivoted along a horizontal axis and having, at each arm, an openable cup articulated thereto. The plant to be transplanted is placed within the cup connected to the multiple-arm device, which is driven synchronously with respect to the motion of the machine. The cup is sunk into the ground, opening the film if present and the soil, while upon control of a cam said cup opens and transplants the plant. The machine furthermore comprises elements for ridging the soil around the plant, after it same has been transplanted, for preparing the soil in front of the transplanting region and for fixing the edges of a possible plastic film.
