| What does mechanical transplanting of rice involve? | 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. Mechanical transplanting of rice is the process of transplanting young rice seedlings, which have been grown in a mat nursery, using a self-propelled rice transplanter. In conventional manual transplanting practice, 8-12 labourers are required to transplant one acre. | 657 | definition | 0.980 | Mechanical transplanting of rice is the process of transplanting young rice seedlings, which have been grown in a mat nursery, using a self-propelled rice transplanter. | 7 | page=7,block=0 | ||

| What is one advantage of using shallow tillage instead of puddling in Odisha? | this reduces the water requirements for land preparation, which increases the options for earlier crop establishment through non-puddled Manual transplanting of rice | 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. | 510 | relationship | 0.970 | 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. |
