SYSTEMS OF PLANTING
Broadcasting –is a random scattering of seeds on the surface of the field.
Drill Seeding –is randomly dropping and covering of seeds in-furrow.
Precision Planting –is the accurate placing of single seeds at about equal intervals
in rows.
Hill Dropping –is the placing of a group of seeds at about equal intervals in rows.
No-Till Planting –is a procedure whereby a planting is made directly into an
unprepared seedbed or untilled soil.
FUNCTIONS OF SEEDER AND PLANTER
- To meter seeds/plant parts of different sizes and shapes.
- To place the seeds/plant parts in the acceptable pattern or distribution in the
field.
- To place seeds/plant parts accurately and uniformly at the desired depth and in
the soil; and
- To cover the seeds/plant parts optionally and to compact the soil around it to
enhance germination and emergence.
Rice Transplanters – are machines that place rice seedling at a proper spacing in a
well-prepared paddy soil.
8
Mechanical Transplanting Method of Rice – a machine used for transplanting
which can adjust the index of basic seedling requirements such as depth of planting,
hill plant spacing, and number of seedlings planted per hill.
ADVANTAGES OF MECHANICAL TRANSPLANTING
 Transplanting of the seedling at the optimal age (13 to 18 days)
 Ensure uniform plant spacing and optimum plant density (26 to 28 hills/ sq.m
with 2-3 seedlings per hill
 Less transplanting shock, seedlings recovers fast, tiller vigorously and mature
uniformly
 Addresses the problem of labor scarcity
 Lower stress, drudgery, and health risk for farm laborer
 Better employment opportunities for rural youth through the development of
custom service business
 Higher productivity (0.5- 2.0 T/ha) compared to traditional methods where
plant spacing, and density may not always be consistent
 Increases farmer’s net income
DISADVANTAGES OF MECHANICAL TRANSPLANTING
- Land must be well prepared for the machine to be effective
- The soil needs to be level and has sufficient bearing strength to carry the
machine and support the planted seedlings and avoid missing hills
OPERATION OF MACHINE TRANSPLANTER
The self-propelled mechanical rice transplanter has two sections:
A. Transport
9
The transport system consists of a gasoline engine, a gearbox, a lever
for adjusting hill spacing or forward speed, a PTO shaft, a toothed steel wheel
for field operation and steering, a driver's seat and seats for helpers (optional).
B. Planting.
Planting section has a floating board, nursery platform, transplanting
fingers with screws for adjusting the number of plants per hill, depth setting
lever, chains for height adjustment of float board and pedal for float lifting.
MACHINE CONTROLS
Planting depth controls: 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.
Number of plants per hill control: The optimum number of plants per hill is very
important to get higher productivity.
10
Hill-to-hill distance control:
The optimum hill-to-hill distance is an important parameter for achieving optimum
productivity.
Straight planting marker: One of the major benefits of a mechanical transplanter is
establishing the crop in straight rows.
Planting clutch: The planting clutch lever is used to engage or disengage the power
to the fingers.
Main clutch: The main clutch is disengaged to run the engine in idle condition and
engaged to make the machine ready to move for work.
Accelerator: The accelerator is used to move the machine at the desired speed. The
speed of the machine must be as recommended by the manufacturer.
11
STARTING THE ENGINE
A. Check and refill the tank with the recommended fuel.
B. Check and refill engine oil to the recommended level.
C. Check if the fuel filter valve is turned on.
D. During cold starting, pull the choke lever to turn it on and push to turn it off.
E. During normal starting, the throttle lever should set to ½ setting.
F. Draw starter rope properly.
OPERATING TRANSPLANTER IN THE FIELD
To transfer the transplanter to the field, the machine’s body should be lifted to the
desired height using the hydraulic control lever.
A. In the field, the machine should be in a lowered position.
B. Put seedlings on a seedling rack and reserve rack.
C. Set gear-shift lever to “transplanting” gear setting.
D. Engage the main clutch and drive the machine to the field.
E. In turning use steering clutch control.
TROUBLESHOOTING FOR MECHANICAL TRANSPLANTER
PROBLEM SOLUTION
Missing hills or uneven plant
spacing
✓Check on seedling mats for poor or uneven
growth
✓Increased seed density in mats
✓Slow the cross-feed time on the
transplanter
✓Check the planting claw for wear
Seedling mats collapse on
seedling platform
✓Ensure minimum mat thickness of 1.5-2 cm
✓Dry nursery mat to firm up
✓Decrease the distance between seedling
tray and seedling to prevent collapsing
Poor sliding and congestion on the
seedling platform
✓Adjust the seedling tray to increase
clearance
✓Cut nursery bed thickness down to 2-3 cm
✓Wet mats before planting to improve sliding
Seedlings not released from
planting claw especially in clay soil
✓Add 1-2 cm water to the field to help clean
planting claw
✓Keep the nursery mats a little dryer
12
Floating and moving seedlings ✓Decrease water depth to 1-2 cm
✓Reduce planting speed
✓Increase planting depth
✓If the soil is very hard and seedlings are
damaged or float then this may require more
water to be added or fields re-puddled
Transplanter floats, sink or presses
soil against adjoining row
✓Reduce the water level and let soil surface
firm. This may mean postponing for a couple
of days.
Seedlings with poor root
development
not established in the soil
✓Slightly wet nursery
✓Reduce planting speed
✓Improve seedling not development by
better nursery management
Hill spacing becomes smaller
especially in soft soil and deep
water
✓Lower the wheel to reduce wheel slip on
the transplanter
✓Drain water from the field and firm up the
soil surface

  • 13. 7 Refers to machines used to place plant parts such as sugar cane cuttings, rice seedlings, etc in prepared soil. SYSTEMS OF PLANTING Broadcasting –is a random scattering of seeds on the surface of the field. Drill Seeding –is randomly dropping and covering of seeds in-furrow. Precision Planting –is the accurate placing of single seeds at about equal intervals in rows. Hill Dropping –is the placing of a group of seeds at about equal intervals in rows. No-Till Planting –is a procedure whereby a planting is made directly into an unprepared seedbed or untilled soil. FUNCTIONS OF SEEDER AND PLANTER - To meter seeds/plant parts of different sizes and shapes. - To place the seeds/plant parts in the acceptable pattern or distribution in the field. - To place seeds/plant parts accurately and uniformly at the desired depth and in the soil; and - To cover the seeds/plant parts optionally and to compact the soil around it to enhance germination and emergence. Rice Transplanters – are machines that place rice seedling at a proper spacing in a well-prepared paddy soil.
  • 14. 8 Mechanical Transplanting Method of Rice – a machine used for transplanting which can adjust the index of basic seedling requirements such as depth of planting, hill plant spacing, and number of seedlings planted per hill. ADVANTAGES OF MECHANICAL TRANSPLANTING  Transplanting of the seedling at the optimal age (13 to 18 days)  Ensure uniform plant spacing and optimum plant density (26 to 28 hills/ sq.m with 2-3 seedlings per hill  Less transplanting shock, seedlings recovers fast, tiller vigorously and mature uniformly  Addresses the problem of labor scarcity  Lower stress, drudgery, and health risk for farm laborer  Better employment opportunities for rural youth through the development of custom service business  Higher productivity (0.5- 2.0 T/ha) compared to traditional methods where plant spacing, and density may not always be consistent  Increases farmer’s net income DISADVANTAGES OF MECHANICAL TRANSPLANTING - Land must be well prepared for the machine to be effective - The soil needs to be level and has sufficient bearing strength to carry the machine and support the planted seedlings and avoid missing hills OPERATION OF MACHINE TRANSPLANTER The self-propelled mechanical rice transplanter has two sections: A. Transport
  • 15. 9 The transport system consists of a gasoline engine, a gearbox, a lever for adjusting hill spacing or forward speed, a PTO shaft, a toothed steel wheel for field operation and steering, a driver's seat and seats for helpers (optional). B. Planting. Planting section has a floating board, nursery platform, transplanting fingers with screws for adjusting the number of plants per hill, depth setting lever, chains for height adjustment of float board and pedal for float lifting. MACHINE CONTROLS Planting depth controls: 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. Number of plants per hill control: The optimum number of plants per hill is very important to get higher productivity.
  • 16. 10 Hill-to-hill distance control: The optimum hill-to-hill distance is an important parameter for achieving optimum productivity. Straight planting marker: One of the major benefits of a mechanical transplanter is establishing the crop in straight rows. Planting clutch: The planting clutch lever is used to engage or disengage the power to the fingers. Main clutch: The main clutch is disengaged to run the engine in idle condition and engaged to make the machine ready to move for work. Accelerator: The accelerator is used to move the machine at the desired speed. The speed of the machine must be as recommended by the manufacturer.
  • 17. 11 STARTING THE ENGINE A. Check and refill the tank with the recommended fuel. B. Check and refill engine oil to the recommended level. C. Check if the fuel filter valve is turned on. D. During cold starting, pull the choke lever to turn it on and push to turn it off. E. During normal starting, the throttle lever should set to ½ setting. F. Draw starter rope properly. OPERATING TRANSPLANTER IN THE FIELD To transfer the transplanter to the field, the machine’s body should be lifted to the desired height using the hydraulic control lever. A. In the field, the machine should be in a lowered position. B. Put seedlings on a seedling rack and reserve rack. C. Set gear-shift lever to “transplanting” gear setting. D. Engage the main clutch and drive the machine to the field. E. In turning use steering clutch control. TROUBLESHOOTING FOR MECHANICAL TRANSPLANTER PROBLEM SOLUTION Missing hills or uneven plant spacing ✓Check on seedling mats for poor or uneven growth ✓Increased seed density in mats ✓Slow the cross-feed time on the transplanter ✓Check the planting claw for wear Seedling mats collapse on seedling platform ✓Ensure minimum mat thickness of 1.5-2 cm ✓Dry nursery mat to firm up ✓Decrease the distance between seedling tray and seedling to prevent collapsing Poor sliding and congestion on the seedling platform ✓Adjust the seedling tray to increase clearance ✓Cut nursery bed thickness down to 2-3 cm ✓Wet mats before planting to improve sliding Seedlings not released from planting claw especially in clay soil ✓Add 1-2 cm water to the field to help clean planting claw ✓Keep the nursery mats a little dryer
  • 18. 12 Floating and moving seedlings ✓Decrease water depth to 1-2 cm ✓Reduce planting speed ✓Increase planting depth ✓If the soil is very hard and seedlings are damaged or float then this may require more water to be added or fields re-puddled Transplanter floats, sink or presses soil against adjoining row ✓Reduce the water level and let soil surface firm. This may mean postponing for a couple of days. Seedlings with poor root development not established in the soil ✓Slightly wet nursery ✓Reduce planting speed ✓Improve seedling not development by better nursery management Hill spacing becomes smaller especially in soft soil and deep water ✓Lower the wheel to reduce wheel slip on the transplanter ✓Drain water from the field and firm up the soil surface
