Direct paddy drum seeder has eliminated the need of transplantation and hours of manual work which will literally break the back of the farmers involved in sowing the paddy seeds to the field. At one stretch with single operator's effort, it covers 8 rows of 20 cm row to row spacing at a time. Made up of plastic, only the shaft and handle used in the equipment is MS steel, which makes it easy to handle. MAJOR PARTS OF THE DRUM SEEDER: The seed drum is hyperboloid shaped with 200 mm diameter. There are 9 number of seeding metering holes of 9mm hole diameter. Baffles are provided inside the seed drum between the seed holes to ensure the uniform seed rate in operation as well as to ensure hill dropping of the seeds. Each drum has two rows of planting, and four drums are assembled to form eight rows of planting at single stretch. The wheels which are attached in both ends are of plastic to ensure floating characteristics. Wheels are provided at both ends. These wheels are made up of plastic material to provide floating characteristics. Wheel diameter is 2 feet. One square shaft, handle base and handle. Four seed drums are assemble together with the square shaft. The handle if meant to pull along.

PREPARATIONS: However there are few things need to be prepared before using the equipment on the field for optimum results. Pudding should be well prepared and leveled - The mud field should be leveled and hardened before the use of the equipment.. Water should be drained out at least 24 hrs. before sowing to form hard slurrypan of the puddle soil. At the time of sowing only paper thin of water should be maintained in the puddle field. Only just sprouted seeds packed with gunny bag should be used. Water should be flooded to the puddle field once in three days after sowing and drain out immediately. This practice should continue for 12 days. Thereafter depending upon the height of the seedlings water should be allowed to stand in the field. OPERATION PROCEDURE: Assemble the paddy seeder and tighten all the bolts & nuts. Fill the drums with pre-germinated seeds. Remember only two-third of the drums are to be filled at a time. Close the doors of the drums and lock. Pull the seeder manually at a normal walking speed ( 1 Km/h) in the backward position as shown in the figure. The wheel impression in the first pass will serve as a marker. In the second pass the wheel should pass on the same wheel impression of the previous pass to maintain the row-to-row spacing of 20 cm. Continue the seeding operation. Occasionally watch the dropping of the seeds through the holes of the seeder. Refill the drums when it reaches one fourth capacity. Continue the seeding operation. IMPORTANT: WEEDING MUST BE DONE ATLEAST 3 TIMES The advantages of using direct paddy drum seeder It will directly reduce labor costs drastically Uniformity in seed sowing and plant population. No need to drill the seeds continuously Drastic reduction in seed rate and thinning cost Crop matures 7-10 days earlier than the transplanted paddy Light in weight and easy to handle. An area of 1 hectre per day can be shown. Want to Know More About Products, Visit Our Website http://www.riceseeder.com/
