A planter is a semi-automatic device used to transplant seedlings from a seedling tray into dry/semi dry soil. The planter facilitates a farmer to work in standing position and avoid back and hand injuries. It comes in 3 different variants which include flap, cone and double cone. It can adjust with the type of soil and type of crop. The planter can plant from 4 to 6 inches deep into the soil.

1 acre of land usually requires 10-12 people to plant 8000 to 10000 seedlings and in mulching piercing process requires a lot of time and money

With a VGT transplanters 3-4 people can transplant all the seedlings in 1 acre of land within a day. One more important thing is that it can plant approximately 20-25 seedlings within a minute reducing the work of 9 labourers to 1 planter. The Flat type transplanter is very useful when using a seedling tray or mulching film, or cockpit.
