It consists of fertilizer hose 47 etc. which guides to grooving machine 46 formed in the bottom. The feeding device 44 can be configured to increase or decrease the amount of fertilizer fed according to the degree of opening / closing of the control valve or the number of rotations of the feeding roll, and the operation can be controlled by the output from the controller 48.

  Here, in the bottom part of the float 2 that supports the seedling planting device 1 for planting seedlings on the traveling soil surface and slides on the soil surface, or in the leveling rotor 3 part that levels the soil surface on the front side of the float 2, A soil component sensor 4 for detecting a soil component is provided, and the soil component on the seedling-planted soil surface is detected by the soil component sensor 4 while the seedling planting device 1 performs seedling planting. A seedling is supplied to the seedling planting apparatus 1 to perform seedling planting work. By the seedling planting operation of this seedling planting machine, the seedling planting soil surface is leveled by sliding the float 2, and seedling planting by the seedling planting device 1 is performed on the soil surface of this leveling. In such a seedling planting operation, in the form in which the soil component sensor 4 is provided at the bottom of the float 2, the soil component is detected by the soil component sensor 4 simultaneously with the leveling action of the soil surface due to the sliding of the float 2. Further, in the embodiment in which the leveling rotor 3 is provided on the front side of the float 2 and the soil component sensor 4 is provided on the leveling rotor 3, the soil surface in front of the float 2 is leveled by the driving of the leveling rotor 3. At the same time, it is detected by the soil component sensor 4 in this portion. In this way, the soil portion detected by the soil component sensor 4 is leveled by the rear leveling rotor 3 or leveled by the float 2 to perform seedling planting action.

  Moreover, the amount of fertilizer application of the fertilizer application | coating apparatus 5 which fertilizes simultaneously to the seedling planting soil surface is provided by control by the said soil component sensor 4. As described above, the soil surface on which the float 2 slides or the soil surface that is leveled by the leveling rotor 3 is detected by the soil component sensor 4, and the fertilizer application amount of the fertilizer application 5 is controlled based on the detected value.

  Grooves 46 are provided in the leveling portions of the floats 2 so as to form grooves at the front soil surface position of the seedling claw 31 that is planted in the rear side portion. The tip of the fertilizer hose 47 is looked above the grooving device 46, and the fertilizer conveyed from the fertilizer applying device 5 is received and fed into the groove. The grooving device 46 is provided with a slight deviation in the left and right lateral directions with respect to the planting position by the seedling planting claw 31. The soil component sensor 4 is protruded from the bottom surface of the float 2 at an intermediate position between the pair of left and right groove producing units 46 of each float 2 to form an electrode terminal configuration, and the soil surface pressed by the bottom surface of the float 2 is submerged. However, the soil component that is in sliding contact with the soil component sensor 4 is electronically detected. In particular, it is assumed that the fertilizer and the amount of nutrient components contained in the soil are input to the controller 48.

  The fertilizer feed amount of the feeding device 44 corresponding to the detection sensor 4 is controlled by the detection value of each float 2 by the soil component sensor 4. When the detected fertilizer component value is high, the feeding amount is decreased, and conversely, when the detected fertilizer component is low, the feeding device 44 is driven and controlled to increase the feeding amount.

  The soil component sensor 4 is provided in the leveling rotor 3 in the form of a disk that is positioned at the center of the width of the leveling rotor 3 and rotates integrally with the rotor shafts 38 and 39. It can be set as the form which detects the soil component of a sliding contact soil surface, intervening rotation in depth. Further, it may be configured as a sled shape that protrudes from the upper front frame 36 or the float 2 at the center of the leveling area by the leveling rotor 3 and is inserted like a sled.

  Further, as described above, in the form in which a plurality of floats 2 or leveling rotors 3 are arranged, the soil component sensor 4 can be configured to have only the center center float 2A or leveling rotor 3A. When such a soil component sensor 4 is made into a single form, all the feeding devices 44 are controlled by the detection of the soil component sensor 4.

  The hydraulic pressure of the hydraulic circuit that drives the lift cylinder 26 and the like can be used as a full pressure state when the ground leveling rotor 3 is mounted and a scraping operation is performed. In addition, when the seedling planting device 1 or the leveling rotor 3 is automatically lifted by an automatic lift, such as steering at the shore, when the vehicle body 16 or the seedling planting device 1 or the like is greatly inclined, this auto The lift control is automatically switched to the OFF state to achieve stability of the aircraft steering.

  In addition, a hand accelerator is configured in the accelerator operation of the engine 14, but when the driver is not seated in the driver's seat 13, the microcomputer is controlled via a controller so that the operation response is moderated. On slopes, it is possible to maintain the operational stability by slowly changing the speed up and down.

  Further, in the case of an automatic accelerator that automatically adjusts the rotation of the engine 14 when the shift lever is operated, the rotation of the engine 14 is preferentially raised when the traveling ground is an inclined ground. Alternatively, it is possible to increase the idling rotation to improve workability. Further, when the clutch of the leveling rotor 3 is engaged, it is possible to improve the workability by preferentially raising the rotation of the engine 14. In addition, the auto accelerator when the clutch is disengaged can give priority to the rotation of the engine 14 to prevent output shortage, improve feeling, and improve workability. When the auto marker is turned off, the auto accelerator can raise the feeling by operating the trunnion arm of the hydraulic continuously variable transmission 21 after the engine 14 is first rotated. Further, when the turn of the steering wheel 11 is turned on and the auto-turn is turned on when the seedling planting clutch is engaged and disengaged, priority is given to the increase in rotation of the engine 14.
