2- TECHNICAL BASEMENT.

As it is of general knowledge among the professionals of the area just as agriculture engineers, technicians and others professional related to the cultivation of plants in general, the consumer market is supplied for some models of equipment especially created for the plantation of specific products, among which can be emphasized the shovels, hoes, large hoes, and other manual tools, widely used in the agriculture, especially in the plantation of seedlings.

The referred shovels, hoes and large hoes are used to make the plantation in a rudimental way and without any precision, apart from that, it is necessary to develop a great physical effort to open the trenches, to place, to tamp down and to plant those seedlings, being still necessary the application, and subsequently and of manual form, of the necessary products for the development and growth of the seedlings, things that demand a lot of time and low productivity with this method of plantation in function of the different necessary phases to complete the process of plantation, out of the need of an operative or of a professional highly qualified to carry out the referred plantation.

Other additional things coming from the use of this type of method for plantation of moult, are the different health problems as a result of the manual plantation that affect the professionals responsible for these tasks, because with the utilization of shovels, hoes and large hoes, all of them > rudimentary devices, the professionals normally present muscular and spine problems

The traditional technique knows some models of automatic equipment for the plantation of seedlings that diminish or eliminate the physical efforts of those who work in the cultivation of nursery gardens and ⁾ plants in general, having those equipments or tools attached to agricultural machines moved by traction, being emphasized those models that use compressed air and/or vacuum let the planting of seedlings in previously determined and planned spaces between the seedlings, having them planted in line and with conditions of dry or flooded soil. This system can be attached to a machine or to an adaptable machine to an agricultural tractor, being the configuration and dimension of this machine depending on the type of seedling that will be planted, of the conditions of the soil dry or flooded, and of the area to be worked on.

Another model of agricultural device by motor force drive, corresponds to a chassis fixed into the coupling of the tractor and provided of wheels with tires that resist and transmit movement to the system of plantation seen in the device; it has one or more elements of plantation, having each element constituted by a system to furrow and to normalize the land; a planting units system; an adjustable system of transmission of movement and a system of compressing around the seedlings. In this way, the device, after hooked and started the driving by a tractor, transmits, through the mounted wheels and of an adjustable system of gears and currents of transmission, the movement for the planting units system.

This system of plantation, at the same time, is formed by several planting units called of tongs, being emphasized that the moults are placed over the tongs and are immobilized when these get in contact with the plate of closing and development of the planting units. These plates were projected in a way to induce the movement of the tongs with the moults to the location and moment of the planting, when they are loosen and introduced into the soil, being compacted subsequently to the detachment of the seedlings.

Out of the rudimentary devices previously mentioned and of the heavy equipments, which are partially efficient, it cab be emphasized that the referred ones are of a very high cost, fact that makes difficult its acquisition by the majority of the producers/farmers. Ln the background of techniques basements there is a model formed by a planter aimed to the cultivation of plants in general, which is constituted by a dragging car gifted with a chassis in whose end it is arranged a system that permits to regulate the height in relation to the coupling devices of three points of the bucket, which holds the seat and the silo through columns, and also the axis of the wheel of support through the lateral supports, whose revolving movement is transmitted through serrated wheels, gears and chains covered by covers or protections, so that the synchronized device that holds and looses, totally adjustable, which is formed by a revolving disk that has an arm and counterweight, that places the nursery garden in the hole and completes with earth around it.

The device previously mentioned has a lower cost in comparison to the coupling devices to tractors in general, being formed by a complex structure and of difficult manipulation, being emphasized that the same one was developed barely and exclusively for the planting of seedlings.

The technical field of this Equipment corresponds to the agricultural area, forests and similar ones, intends to facilitate and to make faster the work of plantation of those seedlings, offering total security and efficiency being emphasized that the equipment was created with a double purpose and function, that is to say, apart from doing the plantation of the seedling, to use and to add, in a simultaneous way, all the products that the seedling needs such as, moisturizing products based on water, improvers of soil, etc., configuring in this way, a system of plantation and the corresponding executing equipment of this plantation, which are elements of great utility, of easy handling according of its simplified structural characteristics, facilitating and becoming viable its industrial production, being emphasized that it is gifted of other technical characteristics that offer it an intrinsic news for the purpose it is made.
