Plantomate (Onion Special) is a specially developed machine that is used to transplant Onion seedlings from nursery to the final planting location in the field. This machine can significantly reduce the time and labor required for transplanting onion seedlings, which can be a tedious and time-consuming task when done manually.

The multi-crop transplanter typically consists of a platform that is pulled by a tractor, featuring a series of planting units mounted on the platform. The machine works by creating a bed in the tilled soil, inserting the seedling at a desired depth into the soil of the bed surface, and covering it with soil.

Using a multi-crop transplanter can result in significant time and labor savings compared to manual transplanting. It can also improve the accuracy and uniformity of the transplanting process, resulting in more consistent plant growth and higher yields.

Overall, the use of a Plantomate can be an effective way for onion farmers to increase their efficiency and productivity in terms of yield and improving post-harvest quality of their onions

Planting Characteristics

• Precise crop plantation geometry
• Maintains consistency in all the three axes [x:y:z] - [Row to row, plant to plant: Depth]
• Optimum plant population required can be adjusted
• Efficient soil pre-preparation with raised beds and furrows can be done simultaneously.
• Good planting precision helps increase light and air ventilation, reducing pest infestation
• Optimum plantation depth below the soil reduces post-plantation mortality
• Bed planting facilitates micro irrigation and furrow planting facilities flood irrigation practices by the farmers
• Comfortable seating reduces the farm drudgery index
• Substantial increase in onion yield and post-harvest quality
• Same machine is useful for multiple crops like Onion, Garlic, Cabbage, Cauliflower, etc
