Placing the seedling tray: Place the seedling tray into the inlet (98) so that the lower end of the seedling tray rests on the two support bars (96); S2. Filling: The prepared nutrient soil is added into the filling trough (2) through the soil adding channel (21). The third linear motor (87) on the conveyor frame (8) drives the horizontal picking plate (88) to extend into the seedling rack (9) from the output port (97). The second drive motor (85) drives the lifting chain (83) to lift the horizontal picking plate (88) to raise the seedling tray. Then, the third linear motor (87) transports the seedling tray into the filling cavity (11). The first drive motor (44) drives the roller (43) to rotate. The first linear motor (4) drives the roller (43) to move back and forth in the filling trough (2). The scraper (47) makes the nutrient soil fall into the seedling trough of the seedling tray through the filling hole (22). After completion, it is transported to the seedling rack (9) through the horizontal picking plate (88). S3. Sowing: The prepared tomato seeds are added into the sowing trough (3) through the seeding channel (31). The seedling tray containing nutrient soil in the seedling rack (9) is then transported to the sowing chamber (12) through the horizontal picking plate (88). The seed scraper (53) is driven by the second linear motor (5) to scrape back and forth at the bottom of the sowing trough (3) so that the seeds fall into the sowing trough (3). The pressure shaft (62) is extended by the telescopic motor (6) and moved down, pushing the elastic leaf (33) to open downward so that the seeds fall into the seedling trough of the seedling tray, thus completing the sowing. The seeds are then transported to the seedling rack (9) through the horizontal picking plate (88). S4. Watering: After sowing, the seedling tray in the seedling rack (9) is transported to the watering chamber (13) through the horizontal picking plate (88). Water is applied through the irrigation nozzle (71) to keep the soil moist but not dripping. Watering is done once every other day. After the seeds germinate, watering is done once every 2-3 days. When the seedlings grow to the size of half a palm, watering is done once every other day. S5. Supplemental lighting: After the seeds germinate, supplemental lighting should be provided to ensure at least 14-16 hours of light per day. S6. Transplanting: When the seedlings have sprouted for 20-25 days and have 3 to 4 true leaves, remove the seedling tray from the seedling rack (9) through the output port (97) and transplant the tomato seedlings.
