摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To eliminate problems that a grafted nursery plant is tilted downward by the weight of a root ball and caught by other parts located near a holding tool feeding means and smooth grafting operation may not be continued to cause deterioration of the operating efficiency when completing the operation and then discharging the grafted nursery plant because the root ball is in a free state at the time of using a stock nursery plant having the root ball. SOLUTION: This apparatus is obtained by installing a holding tool feeding means 16 for feeding a holding tool 4 toward a joining part 3 of a scion nursery plant 1 and a stock nursery plant 2 fed to a joining site 15 and further freely detachably providing a root ball receiver 6 for receiving the root ball part 5 of the stock nursery plant 2 at a lower position of the joining part 3 in a machine casing.
