This can be achieved with the help of a marker that is attached to the machine. The machine should be operated forward in the return pass in a manner so that the marker is above the last row of the previous path (figure e). 5.

| What process is involved in mechanical transplanting of rice? | transplanting young rice seedlings, which have been grown in a mat nursery, using a self-propelled rice transplanter | The timeliness of planting can be further enhanced through the use of a mat-type nursery system that can provide seedlings of the appropriate age whenever the conditions for transplanting are right. By eliminating puddling, soil structure for the next non-rice crop will be improved. This booklet highlights the benefits of mechanical transplanting of rice and discusses some of the operational and management issues that need to be addressed. It will help extension staff, service providers and innovative farmers to use mechanical transplanting with or without puddling with an easy, step-by-step guide.

| What is one benefit of replacing puddling with shallow tillage in rice farming in Odisha? | reduces the water requirements for land preparation | Introduction Across South Asia, labour scarcity is a major problem and there is a need to explore establishment methods for rice that require less labour but still allow the crop to be transplanted on time. The use of a mechanical transplanter is one alternative to address this issue. In Odisha, which is largely a rainfed rice growing environment, the timeliness of transplanting can be further improved by the replacement of puddling by a shallow tillage operation. In the absence of irrigation facilities, this reduces the water requirements for land preparation, which increases the options for earlier crop establishment through non-puddled Manual transplanting of rice : a labour - intensive operation Mechanical transplanting of rice : a suitable and profitable alternative to manual transplanting What is mechanical transplanting of rice? mechanical transplanting. | 515 | relationship | 0.970 | https://agritech.tnau.ac.in/agriculture/pdf/Operational-Manual-for-Mechanical-Transplanting-of-Rice.pdf | In the absence of irrigation facilities, this reduces the water requirements for land preparation, which increases the options for earlier crop establishment through non-puddled Manual transplanting of rice : a labour - intensive operation Mechanical transplanting of rice : a suitable and profitable alternative to manual transplanting What is mechanical transplanting of rice? mechanical transplanting. |
| What is the consequence of planting seedlings at a depth that is too shallow? | shallower depth will result in the uprooting of seedlings even with mild flow of water or wind. | The optimum depth of planting of the seedlings is very important because shallower depth will result in the uprooting of seedlings even with mild flow of water or wind. A deeper depth will result in submergence of the planted seedlings, thereby creating the risk of rotting. The two different types of planting depth control systems widely available in different machines are shown in figures a and b. In the first system, the planting depth can be set at the desired depth simply by sliding the lever handle. The planting depth can be increased by moving the lever towards the operator and vice versa. In the second system (figure b) the lever needs to be The self propelled mechanical rice transplanter has two sections : transport and planting. | 73 | relationship | 0.970 | https://agritech.tnau.ac.in/agriculture/pdf/Operational-Manual-for-Mechanical-Transplanting-of-Rice.pdf | The optimum depth of planting of the seedlings is very important because shallower depth will result in the uprooting of seedlings even with mild flow of water or wind.
