Review of rice transplanter and direct seeder to be applied in Indonesia paddy field

Abstract

The challenge to plant one seed or plant per hill by rice ordinary rice transplanter (RT) is still difficult to be achieved due to random in sowing seed by on rice nursery tray. But due to the vigority of seed after sowing in the field and also the unfavorable condition, the more number of seed are still needed and the yield lower compare transplanter method. Recently, the use of rice direct seeding has been increasing rapidly owing to rural labor shortages and continuous increases in agricultural production costs. This article reviews the research and application progress of mechanized rice direct seeding including direct seeding technologies, precision rice seeding, precision rice seed-metering devices. The other important component on succession direct seeding method is also discussed i.e. calcium gypsum coating and iron powder coating. Operating direct seeding machine also need consider about land and water management. Paddy field need to be managed since the seed drooped in order give favor condition of seed and facility the seed with optimum growing condition. In this approach, pre-germinated seeds are uniformly hill-dropped in the expected positions in puddled soil. The both technology PNRT and RDS have prospect and great potential for promoting the development of precession on rice cultivation in Asia.

Building Resilience: Addressing Climate Change Impacts on Rice Production Based on Agricultural Infrastructure in West Java Province, Indonesia

“…In addition to efficiency gains, agricultural mechanisation, such as the use of trashers, direct seeding of rice and combined harvesters, also increases rice production. The level of mechanisation significantly affects rice production, especially in developing Asian countries [35]. This is in line with the study by [36], which shows that the use of a combined harvesters can significantly increase the productivity by 0.16 t/ha and can also increase the profit by 40%.…”

Pelleting tidak Menghambat Perkecambahan Benih Padi Sawah (Oriza sativa L.)

“…Tanam padi secara langsung terdapat kekurangan salah satunya bibit padi mudah rebah dan juga mudah terserang hama burung setelah benih tersebut ditabur di lahan (Pitoyo & Idkham, 2021). Selain itu juga kelemahan penyemaian langsung adalah benih mudah terbawa oleh air.…”

“…Teknologi pelleting benih dengan menambahkan filler atau bahan pengisi seperti gambut dan lignit, perlit, bentonit (Bennett, 2015), tanah liat (Mandal et al, 2015). Pelapisi benih memungkinkan benih lebih berat dan sedikit menenggelamkan benih ke tanah berlumpur (Pitoyo & Idkham, 2021). Penggunaan bahan perekat sebagai bahan untuk merekatkan seperti arabic gum, carboxyl methyl cellulose (CMC), alginat (Palupi et al, 2012).…”

Performance test and economic analysis of paddy direct seed planter modified pulled by tractor (amator) in tidal swamp, South Sumatra

“…Rice yields have a very significant positive correlation with the level of agricultural mechanisation. Therefore, it is very necessary to increase mechanization in agriculture [14]. Using machinery to help overcome labor scarcity and improve farm efficiency [15].…”
