ABSTRACT
Rice production in India is an important part of the national
economy.
India is one of the world's largest producers of white rice and
brown rice, accounting for 20% of all world rice production.
Rice is India's pre-eminent crop, and is the staple food of the
people of the eastern and southern parts of the country.
1
INTRODUCTION
India is predominantly an agricultural country with rice as one of
its main food crop.
Its produces about 80 million tons rice annually, which is about
22% of the world rice production.
Culturally, transplanting of young seedlings is preferred over
direct seeding for better yield and better crop management
practices.
But this operation requires large amount of manpower (about 400
man-hour/ha) and task is very laborious involving working in a
stooping posture and moving in muddy field.
Hence, this is considered as an activity that needs mechanization.
2
OBJECTIVES
To design a mechanism for transplanting paddy seedlings.
To test the performance of the transplanting mechanism.
To arrive at Desirable Characteristics of the Paddy Seedlings
Transplanting Mechanism.

Paddy Transplanting Machine
A paddy transplanter is a specialized is a machine fitted with a
transplanter mechanism (usually having some form of reciprocating
motion) driven by the power from the live axle, in order to the
transplant rice seedlings onto paddy field.

COMPONENTS OF PADDY
TRANSPLANTER
The self-propelled mechanical rice transplanter has two
detachable parts i.e. front and rear portions.
The front portion has :-
o Diesel/petrol engine range of 4-8 HP depending on
the make
o Gear box
o Lever for adjusting hill spacing
o Propeller shaft
o Toothed iron wheel for field operation and two sheets
for helpers while feeding nursery.

CATEGORISATION OF PADDY
TRANSPLANTERS
Transplanters classification based on two parameters:
1. Type of nursery requirements.
2. Nature of prime mover.
I) Washed seedlings:
• Use washed roots seedling on mat that has four to six leaves
appearance about 20 to 30 cm long washed at time of
transplanting.
• In some instances overgrown roots are pruned to facilitate
easier transplanting operation requiring about 175 people per
hour per hectare.
II) Mat-type:
• The seedlings are nursed on a mixed soil sample with a known
quantity of nutrients additives fallowed by sprinkling a pre-
germinated seeds on the soil of thickness 1.5-2.0 cm and allowed
to grow for a period in between 20-25 days in the nursery before
uprooting to permanent field.
• The method is preferred because it requires less labor about 50
workers in an hour per days’ work
10
On the basis of prime mover requirements:-
• Manual transplanter
• Self-propelled transplanter

3 Wages of Wages requirement As requirement of
labours of the labour is high labour is low then
(in session one total wages for them

to Rs.400 per day)
4 Spacing In manual The transplanter is
between plants transplanting total work on pulling power
transplanting is only and the power
done by human and transmitted from
hence there is not wheel itself hence
proper spacing spacing is properly

RESULT:
• Recent surveys conducted revealed that the machine
transplanting works better in no-till/unpuddled
conditions compared to puddled conditions.
13
Conclusions:
1. Rice paddy transplanter is highly recommended for the local
farmers though beforehand the farmers need to be educated
regarding its proper use since mechanized transplanter requires
mat type nursery.
2. Since the farm land is of the average size in the area thus a
mechanized paddy transplanter would highly aid in the rice
transplantation.
3. It would also decrease the high dependence of farmers upon
labour for transplantation. The transplanter machine can be
easily coupled to a weed remover mechanism which could
further help farmers in the weeding process of paddy
plantation.
4. It would be more efficient compared to existing paddy
seedling transplanter with all perspectives.
5. Lower stress, drudgery and health risks for farm labourers.
6. Addresses the problem of labour scarcity.
7. Increases farmers' net income.

Scope for future work
1. Enhancement with motor
The machinery we made takes the feed from the base
wheel which is driven by or pulled by a human manually.
The work done by a human to pull this machine can be
further more decreased by placing a motor to the base
wheel so that the feed is taken automatically from the
motor to the base wheel.
2. Rice Harvester
The machinery’s purpose is to plant the paddy saplings.
After planting the plants grow and the plants need to be
cut down to take the crop. For this there are some
machines called rice harvesters whose purpose is to cut
the grown crop. This same mechanism can be attached at
the bottom with some improvements being done.
