Asked By : Divesh Gowda
Cost comparision between manual rice transplanting and rice transplanter machines
| Method | Manual Transplanting | Walk-Behind Transplanter | Riding-Type Transplanter |
| Initial Cost | Rs. 0 | Rs. 1.5– Rs. 2.5 lakh | Rs. 3.5–Rs. 8 lakh |
| Per Acre Cost | Rs. 3,000– Rs. 5,000 | Rs. 700– Rs. 1,000 | Rs. 600–Rs. 1,200 |
| Labour Needed | 10-15 | 2-3 | 1-2 |
| Time Per Acre | 1-2 days | 1-2 hours | <1 hour |
| Eficiency | Low | Medium-High | High |
*Costs are approximate and may vary by location, brand, and field conditions.
Manual method is low-cost initially but expensive and inefficient in the long run. Machine transplanting reduces per-acre cost and labour and improves yield due to uniform spacing.
