Abstract: An apparatus for selecting seedlings and transferring the same. The apparatus comprises a feeding device for intermittently feeding a culture tray having a plurality of rows of rearing chambers to rear seedlings, sensor means for examining the quality of the seedlings, a pushing device for pushing upwardly seedlings having a good quality, a taking-out device for taking out the seedlings pushed upwardly from the rearing chambers, and a transferring device for receiving the seedlings taken out of the rearing chambers and transferring them to a delivery tray. With the above structure, the seedlings cultured in rearing chambers are automatically taken out, the quality of the seedlings are judged by the sensor means, and only good seedlings are automatically transferred to a delivery tray.
