Abstract


Introduction.Of the two practices,direct sowing and transplanting,the latter is by far the more important and it may be said that wherever facilities for transplanting obtain people will prefer it to broadcasting.It would be safer to say thatfour-fifths of the rice grown in the world is transplanted.and almost all countries like Spain,Italy.Japan.etc.,where the highest acre yields are recorrded adopt transplanting.Drilling is to a certain extent replacing the practice of tranplanting owing to labour difficulties of transplanting as in California.In Italy where also labour is vey expensive they have evolved a transplanting machine which can be worked in the puddle.
