Chapter 7 Flashcards
➢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.

Precision equipment, such as the Turbo Happy Seeder, can be used to drill seeds.
1. Drill 80−100 kg of seeds per ha.
2. Seeds are placed by the machine
into both dry and moist soil, and
then irrigated.
3. In this technique, fertilizers can be applied at the same time as the seed.
Drilling
A hill planting is usually practiced
along mountain slopes or where
plowing and harrowing are
difficult.
Dibbling
Using a seeders are used for fast
planting. It operates best on a
well-leveled, smooth, and wet
seedbed.
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
- Seed drums are rotated by the motion of the ground wheel without slippage to get a uniform and
desired seed rate.
Ground wheel
– length axle of the 2 wheels and where the seeds drums are also attached.
Main shaft
- type of planting equipment that accurately drops the seeds or group of seeds in equidistant spaces along a furrow (PNS/PAES ____;____).
Precision Rice Seeder (PNS/PAES 171:2015)
• 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
A machine that involves planting young rice seedlings
into the puddled soil
Mechanical Rice Transplanter
controls the transfer of power
to all power-needed parts
Main clutch lever
used to lift or down the machine
Hydraulic clutch lever
gear settings: Reverse, Neutral
Transplanting and Transport
Gear shift lever
settings: On, Off and Lamp (lights on)
Engine switch & Choke
- The alarm lamp turns on and the buzzer makes a sound to remind you when you need to add more seedlings to the seedling rack.
Seedling adding lamp
- When the unit clutch lever is put in the “Stop” position, this lamp will come on. When the unit clutch lever is put in the planting “ON” position, the alarm
buzzer will sound to prevent you from forgetting to
engage the unit clutch.
Unit clutch pilot lamp
-displays the accumulative operation time of the transplanter, accurate to
1/10 hour. The meter only counts the time while the engine is running. The meter display changes every 6 minutes
Hour meter
- displays the amount of fuel left.
Fuel meter

If the key switch is set to “ON”, the light turns on, indicating that the glow lamp operates. After the lamp goes out and the switch is set back to “Start”, the engine is started.
Preheater pilot lamp (glow lamp)
- When the key switch is set to “ON”, the indicating lamp turns on and it turns off after starting the engine. If the oil pressure is not sufficient during operation or if there is some abnormality regarding the lubricating oil, the light turns on.
Engine oil pressure warning lamp
- The lamp turns on when the
temperature of the cooling water rises
Engine coolant warning lamp
- This switch is used to adjust the planting depth automatically.
