“…Plugs automatic transplanting requires an adequate firmness and cohesion of the root plugs to avoid soil shattering when removed from tray cells [35]. Furthermore, plug soil should not break into small pieces when handled in the mechanical components of the transplanting machines in order to reduce transplantation stress [14,43]. Leek plug soil fell off completely when lifting a seedling out of the tray.…”

“…Although the success score with the needle gripper in the experiment was the same as with the two-finger gripper, needle gripper is not recommended when grasping leek plugs. Dihingia et al [43] found that initially compacting plug soil is a good compromise between seedling growth and force needed to lift up the plugs. In this trial, plug soil consisted of a potting mix of peat and perlite with a 70:30 ratio and did not completely filled up the tray cells.…”

“…Mechanized transplanting can reduce labor intensity and production costs, which is conducive to ensuring food security and is significant in building a powerful agricultural country and promoting rural revitalization [2][3][4]. The mechanized transplanting process will inevitably produce plug seedling pot damage; the damage to the pot is not only related to the material's physical and mechanical properties but also to the impact load and the contact stress distribution during the transplanting process [5][6][7].…”
