Abstract: Transplanting equipment comprises a line of individual plant pick-up devices, first support means for transversely moving a first row of containers into vertical alignment with the pick-up devices, control means for bringing the pick-up devices into a plant-supporting or plant-releasing mode as appropriate, horizontal drive means operative to bring the pick-up devices into vertical alignment with the containers of a second row having a different center-to-center spacing to the containers of the first row, second support means for transversely moving the second row of containers out of vertical alignment with the pick-up devices, and vertical drive means for moving the pick-up devices towards or away from the first and second support means to allow the support or release of plants by the pick-up devices as determined by the control means.

Abstract: A liquid diphenylmethane diisocyanate composition which comprises diphenylmethane diisocyanate in which from 10 to 35% of the isocyanate groups have been reacted with a mixture of alkylene glycols each containing at least three carbon atoms, one of the glycols being dipropylene glycol, tripropylene glycol or a higher propylene glycol. The composition is made by heating together the reactants.
