C7 MECHANICAL RICE PLANTING Flashcards
The ff are examples of Direct Seeded. EXCEPT
Dry seeds
Seedlings
Pre-germinated
seeds
Seedlings
➢This method is usually practiced for rainfed and deepwater ecosystems.
➢Farmers sow onto dry soil surface, then
incorporates the seed either by plowing or
harrowing.
Broadcasting
Broadcast __−__ kg of
seeds uniformly by hand
or in furrows in 1 ha of
field.
(Broadcasting in dry direct seeding)
60-80kg
Methods of Direct Seeding?
Dry direct seeding
Wet direct seeding
These are under dry direct seeding. EXCEPT
Broadcasting
Drilling
Drum Seeding
Dibbling
Drum seeding
usually practiced
along mountain slopes or where
plowing and harrowing are
difficult.
Dibbling or hill planting
Drill __−__ kg of seeds per ha.
80-100kg
In this technique, fertilizers can be applied
at the same time as the seed.
Drilling
In wet fields, direct seeding can be done either
through broadcasting or drilling seeds into the mud with a ____ or precision rice seeder.
drum seeder
The ff are under wet direct seeding. Except
Broadcasting
Drum seeding
Drilling
Drilling
____are used for fast
planting. It operates best on a
well-leveled, smooth, and wet
seedbed.
Prepare 80 kg of pre-germinated
seeds per ha.
Drum seeding
Receptacles of the seeds to be sown.
Rotates with the wheel axle
Seed drums
Perforations on the drums, where the
seeds are dispensed as the wheels rotate when pulled.
Metering holes
length axle of the 2 wheels and where the
seeds drums are also attached.
Main shaft
Seed drums are rotated by the motion of
the _____without slippage to get a uniform and desired seed rate.
Ground wheel
The ff are Factors to consider in using
mechanized seeder. EXCEPT
- Quality of Seeds
- Soil Type or Conditions
- pH
4.Water Supply
- pH
labor requirements for manual
transplanting.
20-25 mandays/hectare
type of planting equipment that accurately
drops the seeds or group of seeds in equidistant
spaces along a furrow (PNS/PAES 171:2015)
PRS Precision Rice Seeder
• Type of self-propelled rice
precision seeder that
allows operator to ride on
the machine during
operation.
• Can be used for dry and
wet field planting
Riding type
Type of rice precision seeder
which is pulled by a four-wheel
tractor
• Usually used for dry field
planting
Tractor Attachment
Methods of transplanting
1.Traditional / Manual Transplanting
2. Mechanical Transplanting
A machine that involves planting young rice seedlings
into the puddled soil
Mechanical Rice Transplanter
Types of Rice Transplanter
1) Manually Operated Rice Transplanter
2) Self-Propelled Rice Transplanter
