Notes: Human energy is predominantly used in most of the rice farming operations starting from seedbed preparation to threshing. Mechanical transplanting is the solution of better mechanization in paddy crop. For that farm implements and machinery have been ergonomically designed which minimize drudgery of the labour and increase productivity at reduced expenditure levels which can provide a rational basis for recommendation of methods and and improvement in equipment design for more output and operator’s comfort and safety. Manually operated paddy transplanter work satisfactorily.
