SEEDPRO is the first of its kind transplanter and direct seeder combination for planting through plastic mulch. SeedPro functions as a traditional transplanter or a vacuum seeder. By combining vacuum seed planting and through-plastic transplanting technology, SEEDPRO delivers the unique ability to plant raw seed or transplants into plastic mulch or bare ground, and can also apply synchronized water to each individual plant. SEEDPRO is ideal for growers of crops planted through plastic such as pumpkin, tomato, melon, zucchini, cucumber and peppers. Transplanting is labor-intensive, and transplants themselves are expensive. Direct seeding through plastic is an alternative to transplants, but is extremely labor intensive as it is traditionally done entirely by hand. In addition to planting transplants with SEEDPRO, growers will gain the ability to direct seed crops through plastic, resulting in substantial cost savings in labor and input.
