Threshing implements

Threshing can be done manually or mechanically

Manual threshing

The manual methods of threshing are treading by feet, flail method, and beating stalks against tubs, boards or racks.
Threshing can be done by trampling using bullocks, rubbing with bare human feet (in hills) or lifting the bundles and striking them on the raised wooden platform.
Pedal threshers are also used.
Freshly threshed rice must be dried well in the sun.

Machine threshing

Mechanical threshing removes rice grains from the rice plant, speeds up threshing (thus reducing losses), and reduces labor requirements.
Power driven stationary threshers are also used.
