“…The rice production per hectare in farming using transplanters is 6,167.25 kg, more significant than the production of manual agriculture (5,196.42 kilograms). Some of the advantages of using this transplanter include: relatively faster planting time than manual planting, uniform seed spacing so that it is easier to handle weeds, relatively more minor seed requirement, shorter planting time on land so harvesting is faster than usual, rice grain maturity somewhat concurrent [3]. Transplanter's use also contributes positively to the acceptance of rice farming.…”

“…The use of transplanters requires skilled and expensive labor [3]. The increase in rice production due to this transplanter causes an increase in the total explicit cost per hectare because farmers have to pay certain costs for transplanter rental and purchase of rice seeds.…”

“…Extreme temperatures and land degradation such as excess salt, iron, or lack of phosphorus, zinc, or iron also decrease rice productivity. Rice production is also closely related to socio-economic constraints, lack of infrastructure in rural areas, input and output pricing policies that do not benefit farmers [2], and the limited availability of labor at the peak of land preparation and harvesting [3].…”

The use of transplanters to carry out the planting process has been known widely. Reviews related to productivity performance from these tools are closely related to topographic conditions, soil types, land area, plant species, community culture, the purpose of use, and the technology included as an added value to the tool. Previous studies found various levels of productivity, socio-economic studies, and studies related to users’ demographic characteristics. This study tries to provide an overview of the use of transplanters with a limited scale and on a specific type of soil, studied more comprehensively by considering the community’s demographic characteristics. The results showed that economically, using a transplanter with a limited land area had no significant difference from the traditional method on the soil characteristics. This decision-making was allegedly motivated by the demographic characteristics of farmers. Using a descriptive approach involving 40 respondents, this study found that transplanters do not differ in economic productivity performance on a limited scale.

This study examines sustainable agricultural development in Vietnam by focusing on rice production in the Mekong Delta. Vietnam is the third largest rice-exporting country in the world and more than 90% of rice for export is from the Mekong Delta. We attempt to identify changes in the rice industry, specifically examining farming mechanization, trends in farm operation, and farm household economy. The main structure of our study is based on our direct interviews with 420 farmer households, 81 registered large farm owners, 75 farming service providers, and local government members. We carried out those interviews in 2013 and 2014. We identified several important changes brought by technological advances, economic modernization, government policies, and environmental movements. One important finding was the increasing trend of agricultural land per farmer household, such as from 1.98 to 2.27 ha in 2010 to 2018, and the decreasing trend of labor force, which pushed up agricultural mechanization. Another point was the land law revised in 2013, which allowed farmers to borrow (no private land ownership in Vietnam) farms up to 30ha/household if registered as a “Trang Trai” farm. Farmers accepted the use of tractors and combine harvesters; however, rice seed sowing was not mechanized, so rice transplanters were rarely used for rice planting. Among the processes of rice production, sowing of rice seeds was the least mechanized. In order to achieve more sustainable agricultural practices, we recommend improving the mechanization of the rice seed sowing process for the Mekong Delta farmers with acceptable conditions. Another finding was positive movements among Mekong Delta researchers and farmers to improve their rice quality to be accepted as high-quality rice in the global rice market and to dispel the bad reputation of the past.

“…Rice can be grown by transplanting seedlings in flooded field conditions or by direct sowing of sprouted seedlings depending upon the availability of water (Gaikwad et al, 2014). Japan developed the first rice transplanter during industrialization and it was patented in the year 1898 (Chaitanya et al, 2018). The use of mechanical device for paddy transplanting started in 1955 in Taiwan when a gravity-type hand-operated transplanter was developed.…”

Background: Paddy is one of the most important staple food in most south-east Asian countries. It is grown either by direct sowing or by transplanting under wetland conditions depending upon the availability of water. India produces 116.48 million tonnes of rice with a productivity of 2659 kg ha-1. Manual transplanting of rice seedlings by hand is generally done in stooping posture which is laborious and drudgery. It also requires a huge amount of labour during peak season. Considering the need and to suit the hilly region, a two-row manually operated paddy transplanter was developed. Methods: For picking the seedlings, a four-bar mechanism was selected as the basis of design. The machine construction consists of a float, seedling tray, fixed-fork type finger, chain sprocket system and lugged wheel. For operation, the operator has to rotate the crank handle which transmits the motion through the chain sprocket system and four-bar linkage which in turn picks the seedlings and plants them onto the soil. Result: The machine was tested in the actual field condition and was working satisfactorily. The designed fixed fork-type finger can hold 5 to 8 seedlings at a time. The developed machine was found to be comfortable working at a speed of 0.5 kmph. The actual field capacity of the machine was 0.02 ha/h.
