A system for separating lined-up seedlings, which separates an individual seedling from lined-up seedlings in a transplanting machine using the lined-up seedlings such as seedlings each contained in a paper tube, by use of paper-tube containers for growing the seedlings orderly connected with one another so as to be separable to provide individual seedlings in a transplantation culture of crops, characterized in that said system comprises: a first seedling moving mechanism (10) mounted thereon with the lined-up seedlings (P) orderly connected with one another so as to be separable into individual seedlings and reciprocatingly movable in one direction; a second seedling moving mechanism (20) provided on the first seedling moving mechanism (10) and intermittently movable in a direction perpendicularly intersecting the moving direction of the first seedling moving mechanism (10) at a moving end of the first seedling moving mechanism (10), for delivering one line of the lined-up seedlings (P) at a time; and a pair of rotors for separation (31, 32) positioned in front of the moving direction of the second seedling moving mechanism (20) and opposed to the foremost line of the delivered lined-up seedlings, whereby one (31) of the rotors for separation comes into abutting contact with a foremost seedling (Pa), is forwardly rotated with respect to the moving direction of seedlings by the first seedling moving mechanism (10) and is rotated at a circumferential speed higher than the moving speed of the first seedling moving mechanism (10), while, the other (32) of the rotors for separation is reversely rotated with respect to the moving direction of seedlings and is positioned close to the side of the succeeding line of the seedlings. |
