Flower
Flower is a protective device for the roots of flower seedlings during transplanting. The roots and stems of flowers are easily damaged by external forces, which reduces yield and causes economic losses for farmers. Flower is made of polylactic acid plastic by injection molding. The ball shaped lower part shields the main root from farm tools and rodents. Two parts are joined by a simple bayonet connection. A protruding neck gives a grip, so grown flowers can be pulled from the soil without direct hand contact with the stems. Sizes match different flowers.

The A' Agricultural Tools, Farming Equipment and Machinery Design Award is a highly prestigious international design prize which recognizes exceptional design of tractors, harvesters, plows, irrigation systems, seeders, sprayers, balers, cultivators and more.
