Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of agricultural equipment, in particular to a pepper seedling planter. Background Art
[0002] Pepper seedlings are small plants grown from pepper seeds and are the first step in growing peppers. Pepper seedlings are transplanted when they have three to four true leaves. When transplanting pepper seedlings, pay attention to depth—plant them about four fingers deep to ensure stability. Additionally, ensure that each planting site is spaced roughly evenly, maintain a daytime temperature of 25-27 degrees Celsius, and receive ample water.
[0003] In the mountainous regions of southwest my country, the steep terrain and fragmented land make existing agricultural planting machines inadequate. Consequently, pepper seedlings are mostly transplanted manually, which is inefficient and places significant strain on the spine, harming farmers' health. This places a heavy burden on farmers, leading to frequent muscle strain and lumbar disc herniation, a particularly severe problem for those with pre-existing back problems.
[0004] There are also some machines for transplanting pepper seedlings on the market, which are usually operated by two people at the same time with a planting cart. They are suitable for flat land and are not suitable for mountainous areas in the southwest. Summary of the Invention
