摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an applicator for granular fertilizer enabling direct sowing in a flood paddy field only by attaching a guide member for sowing without changing the original structure of the applicator, enabling easy attaching and detaching of the guide member, producible at a low cost and having high usefulness. SOLUTION: The sowing machine for the direct sowing in a flood paddy field for rice plant is provided with a sowing guide member 10 placed adjacent to the back of a furrow opening device 4 connected to a fertilizer guiding pipe 8 of an applicator for granular fertilizer. The upper part of the sowing guide member 10 is made to be detachably attachable to the gap 9 between the furrow opening device 4 and the fertilizer guiding pipe 8. The lower part of the guide member 10 is inclined backward to form a curve separating from the back of the furrow opening device 4. Seed rice 7 is sowed on the sprung soil 15 of the opened furrow 5 and buried in the field 6 to the depth of 1-2 cm by covering the seed with the soil 15.
