PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a constitution of a planting mechanism capable of preventing a mistake in takeout of a sweet potato seedling and realizing a suitable planting posture of the sweet potato seedling in a machine for inserting the sweet potato seedling. SOLUTION: This machine for inserting the sweet potato seedling 50 is designed to transport the sweet potato seedling 50 to the vicinity of the planting mechanism 7 with a seedling feeding mechanism 8, grip a stem end part 50a with a pair of left and right planting claws 12a and 12b, carry out the takeout of the seedling 50, shake the planting claws 12a and 12b in the vertical directions, thrust the planting claws 12a and 12b into a field and thereby perform planting operation. In the machine, the pair of left and right planting claws 12a and 12b are composed so as to open and close with a claw opening and closing mechanism and a locus L1 of the planting claws 12a and 12b during the takeout of the seedling 50 is made to intersect the stem end part 50a at nearly right angles.
