The tray seeder can automatically complete continuous processes of soil filling, hole punching, seeding, and soil covering, handling 380-680 trays per hour, significantly improving seedling efficiency. It uses a microcomputer control system, with a seeding accuracy rate of over 98%, ensuring uniform seedling emergence. Using this automatic seeder also saves labor, each machine can replace about 10 workers, greatly reducing labor costs. It is equipped with a touchscreen PLC control panel, allowing parameter storage and retrieval, making operation simple and intelligent. The seedling tray seeder comes with a variety of suction nozzle sizes that can be quickly replaced to accommodate seeds of different shapes and varieties, and is compatible with standard trays. It features an automatic backflush mechanism and a filter to prevent seed blockage and filter impurities, protecting the machine.
As part of JY’s complete horticulture supplies range, this tray seeder can work with different planting trays, seed types and nursery production plans. Whether you are upgrading a manual seedling line or building a new greenhouse propagation area, JY can help you choose suitable tray seeding equipment and related growing supplies.

The operation process of the automatic tray seeder mainly includes equipment debugging, parameter setting, seed processing, seeding operation, and subsequent management.
1. Equipment Debugging and Parameter Setting
Connect the power supply (220V) and the air pump, press the air pump interface, and then start the power button. Select the corresponding mode on the display screen according to the type of tray being used, and adjust the tray size (e.g., 54×28cm national standard tray) and seeding parameters (single-row/double-row/alternate-row working mode).
2. Seed Processing and Suction Head Matching
Clean the seed impurities and choose a matching suction head (needle). Test whether the suction head can accurately pick up a single seed (replace if the needle is too small, adjust if too large).
Install the suction head and attach the rubber sleeve to prevent clogging or seed displacement.
3. Seeding Process
Place the tray with prepared substrate in position, close to the baffle.
Move the machine head above the tray, press down the operation handle to complete suction, tray pressing, and seeding.
After seeding, cover with soil and adjust the seeding depth to prevent the needle from penetrating too deeply into the substrate.
4. Application and Precautions
Applicable seeds with a diameter of 1-10mm (such as peppers, tomatoes), flowers, tobacco, etc. Tray holes support 50-200 cells.
And safety tips: Ensure that the suction head matches the seed during operation to avoid clogging or uneven seeding.
JY automatic tray seeders are widely used in modern greenhouse seedling cultivation, vegetable seedling farms, flower nurseries and agricultural demonstration projects. They are suitable for growers who need stable seed placement, consistent germination and efficient batch production.
For a complete nursery setup, the tray seeder can be combined with greenhouse benches, seedling heat mats, seedling trays, nursery pots and related greenhouse supplies. For buyers planning a larger protected-growing area, JY also provides garden greenhouse and greenhouse-related product options.
You can also refer to our seedling trays and shed netting project to understand how seedling trays, shade netting and greenhouse nursery management can work together in a practical cultivation environment.
| Buyer Requirement | What to Confirm | Why It Matters |
| Tray Size and Cell Number | Confirm tray dimensions and cell quantity, such as 50, 72, 98, 105, 128 or 200 cells. | Tray structure affects machine matching, seeding depth and working efficiency. |
| Seed Type and Size | Confirm crop type, seed diameter, seed coating and seed shape. | Suction nozzle matching is important for single-seed pickup and seeding accuracy. |
| Daily Production Target | Confirm how many trays you need to seed per hour or per day. | This helps determine whether the standard tray seeder capacity meets your production plan. |
| Nursery Workflow | Confirm whether you need only seeding or a complete seeding station. | A complete seeding station can improve workflow continuity and reduce manual handling. |
| Related Growing Supplies | Confirm if you also need trays, pots, labels, benches or greenhouse accessories. | One-stop sourcing helps reduce communication cost and improve project consistency. |
