Development of System Rice Intensification (SRI) paddy transplanter

The System of Rice Intensification (SRI) practices have been developed in order to increase the production and quality of rice. Based on SRI practices the rice seedlings are transplanted at the young ages, 15 days old with just 2 leaves and carefully planting of just one seedling per hill and space...
