Direct Seeding with Drum Seeder – Future Prospects
The System of Rice Intensification (SRI) has grown to great glory with the popularisation through the use of media. The system has impressive potential in SRI over traditional practice in terms of water saving and yield. The direct seeding can reduce the expensive and labor intensive process of transplantation. The Details of the direct-seeding technology for an acre of land is :
-Seed rate required - 15 kg
-2 hours required for direct seeding.
-just 3 persons needed, one for pulling the drum seeder, one to help the puller to lift the machine at the end of the field, and one to fill/refill the seed in the drums.
-Use of weedicide is compulsory.
-upto 3/4 level, sprouted paddy seeds are filled in all the four drums. When the seeder is pulled, the seeds fall in the field at a distance of 20 cm between each of the 8 rows.
