A transplanter for transferring seedlings from plant trays (50) to a planting position includes a special plant tray (50) having a series of longitudinal indexing grooves (52) and a transverse alignement groove (53) for engagement with indexing rods (112) and support rings (114, 116, 117', 118) that are joined together to form an indexing drum (110). The indexing drum (110) is mounted adjacent a loading frame (60) for guiding the plant trays (50) into position for ejection of the plant seedlings and includes an integrally internally mounted plug ejector subassembly (148) which moves relative to the indexing drum (110) at each of a number of successive indexing positions of the drum for ejection of seedlings from the plant tray (50). The indexing grooves (52) and transverse alignement groove (53) on the plant tray (50) provide datum surfaces for ensuring accurate positioning of the plug ejector subassembly (148) relative to the seedlings in the plant tray (50).

Un dispositif de repiquage destiné à transplanter des pousses de semis de bacs de plantation (50) à des sites de plantation comprend un bac de plantation (50) spécial, pourvu d'une série de rainures d'indexage longitudinales (52) et une rainure d'alignement transversale (53) se mettant en prise avec des tiges d'indexage (112) et des bagues de support (114, 116, 117', 118) qui sont réunies de façon à former un tambour d'indexage (110). Le tambour d'indexage (110) est monté à proximité d'un cadre de chargement (60) destiné à guider les bacs de plantation (50) en position en vue de l'éjection des pousses de semis, et il comprend, monté à l'intérieur, un sous-ensemble d'éjection à tige (148) qui se déplace par rapport au tambour d'indexage (110) dans chacune des positions d'indexage successives du tambour en vue de l'éjection de pousses hors du bac de plantation (50). Les rainures d'indexage (52) et la rainure d'alignement transversale (53) du bac de plantation (50) fournissent des surfaces d'information permettant un positionnement précis du sous-ensemble d'éjection à tige (148) par rapport aux semis contenus dans le bac de plantation (50).
