Abstract
Under the subnetwork activity for testing, evaluation and modification of rice transplanters, three prototypes, namely, (i) Annapurna 77, manually-operated machine, (ii) Mametora TA-2, power tiller-mounted unit, and (iii) Tang Hong 2S, self-propelled machine suitable for root-washed seedlings were supplied to some selected countries. A few available power driven transplanters using special mat seedlings were also tried out. Another manually-operated machine developed at IRRI was supplied as soon as it was released.
After intensive testing and evaluation, it was observed that in case of Annapurna 77, man-hour requirement was very high and the planting accuracy was not satis factory. The Mametora TA-2 also required high labour inputs and its planting clamps were defective and could not be made in the countries concerned. In case of the Tang Hong 2S, though labor input was high for seedling preparation, it was compensated by high capacity and satisfactory performance and efforts are in progress to reduce its size to suit small farms. The IRRI manually-operated 5-row transplanter which uses modified mat-seedlings and simple techniques gave a very satisfactory performance and proved to be an economically feasible unit for many countries and would be acceptable by farmers who should, however, be given sufficient training in the preparation of mat-seedlings and in the operation and maintenance of the machine. It was concluded that further efforts should be concentrated on Tang Hong 2S and IRRI machines only.
