Sowing
• Sowing
implements have the most important role to mechanize the rice cultivation by
replacing the traditional method of broadcasting in dry soil and manual
transplanting in puddled soil condition.
• NRRI developed plenty of machines to mechanize the
sowing operation.
• For dry direct sowing of rice row seeding is the
most efficient means to sow the crops with optimum seed rate and also with
maintained row to row spacing.
• Row seeding also promotes maximum tillering and
better sunlight penetration to rice plants.
• Weeding cost is also reduced by using line sowing
method.
