Standardization of Seedling Characteristics for Paddy Transplanter

Effect of Organic and Inorganic Plant Growth Promoters on Yield Attribute, Yield and Economics of Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) Varieties

“…Seaweed extracts are known to improve to the source-sink relationship translocation of photo assimilates and their by photosynthetic ability of the plants and thus play significant role in realization of high productivity levels and higher grain yields. Similar findings were also reported by Vasudevan et al[33], Islam et al[28], Zain et al[30], Chowdhury et al[34], Navya et al[32].…”

Studies on the Effect of Establishment Methods and Foliar Nutrition on Productivity of Transplanted Finger Millet (Eleusine coracana) under Irrigated Condition

“…In spite of the labor scarcity, uniform population as well as adequate plant spacing cannot be possible in the field this also one of the factor for low productivity of finger millet. To rectify these problems mechanical transplanting is only the possible way to achieve maximum production and productivity (Vasudevan et al, 2014).…”

Growth and Yield of Machine Transplanted Rice (Oryza sativa L.) as Influenced by Age and Number of Seedlings

“…So also, the scarcity of labour at peak demand period results an increased cost of operation and delays the transplanting operation. Hence, transplanting of paddy seedling with a suitable mechanical transplanter seems to be most appropriate and promising avenue, as it minimizes drudgery and saves much of the labour requirement (Vasudevan et al, 2014). The experiment consisted three different age of seedlings viz., A1: twenty days old seedlings, A2: twenty five days old seedlings and A3: thirty days old seedlings and three different number of seedlings per hill planted by transplanter viz., N1: 3-4 seedlings per hill, N2: 5-6 seedlings per hill and N3:7-8 seedlings per hill.…”
