Employing automatic control technology and a rationally designed structure, the planter integrates planting and fertilization, and records the number of taro seeds planted. This will alleviate the workload for taro farmers, save labor costs, and improve planting efficiency. This machine can also be used to plant other root crops with similar cultivation methods, such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, and yams. Summary of the Invention
