Abstract: The apparatus includes means for severing the body of earth contiguous to the roots of the plants from the surrounding ground; and means for relatively removing the plants from the body of root-contiguous earth, including means for lifting the plants in relation to the ground, and means for agitating the body of root-contiguous earth when it is severed from the ground, so as to loosen the earth and reduce its cohesion with respect to the roots, before the plants are lifted in relation to the ground. The apparatus is thus able to harvest the plants without undue damage to the roots. In addition, damage to the stems is minimized through the use of a special elastomer-faced belt lift mechanism as part of the lift means; and a rapid harvesting rate is maintained through the use of a special apparatus and technique for collecting and discharging the plants from the lift mechanism in a containerized condition.
