National Rice Grain Planter / Direct Seeder For Rice - DSR

Key Benefits of Direct Seeding (DSR)

Using the National Rice Grain Planter offers significant agricultural, economic, and environmental advantages compared to traditional methods:

• Substantial Cost Reduction: (a) Saves significantly on labor costs by eliminating the need for nursery preparation, manual transplanting, and puddling operations.
  (b) Reduces fuel consumption as fewer operations are required in the field.
• Water Conservation: (a) Eliminates the requirement for continuous flooding and puddling, saving a massive amount of water (up to 30-40%) which is vital for sustainable farming.
• Time and Efficiency: (a) Reduces the overall crop duration by cutting out the time required for nursery raising and transplanting, allowing for timely planting of the subsequent crop.
  (b) Enables farmers to cover more acreage in a shorter time frame, increasing operational efficiency.
• Improved Soil Health: (a) Prevents the formation of a hardpan layer caused by repeated puddling, which leads to better root penetration and improved soil aeration.
  (b) Contributes to long-term soil sustainability and fertility.
• Better Crop Performance: (a) The precise seed and fertilizer metering system ensures optimal plant spacing and nutrient placement, leading to uniform germination and healthier crop stands.
  (b) Plants develop a stronger and deeper root system as they are sown directly, offering better resistance to lodging (falling over).
• Adaptability: (a) The machine’s adjustable row-to-row spacing makes it highly versatile, allowing farmers to quickly switch between various crops and optimize plant density as needed.
