Transplanting is most laborious consuming operation during paddy cultivation. The cost of puddling and transplanting share 50 percentage of the total producing cost. The man day required for transplanting ranging from 50-60 man-day/ha and labour are very costly. So newly developed manual paddy transplanter is fit to the requirement for small and marginal farmers due to wash root type seedling can be transplanted in the field. The performance of the transplanter was evaluated. Missing hill is comparatively low while using in the field and row-row distance is maintained by 25 cm.

Rice is grown under many different conditions and production system, but submerged in water is the most common method use worldwide. Rice is the only cereal crop that can grown for long periods of time in standing water. 57% of rice is grown on irrigated land, 25% on rainfed lowland, 10% on the uplands, 6% in deepwater and 2% in tidal wetland.

Major rice-wheat growing soils of Upper Gangetic Plains, India were studied and evaluated by considering soil-site characteristics by using qualitative and quantitative methods. The qualitative method employed were USDA land capability classification and land suitability classification, while the quantitative evaluation method includes Riquier's parametric approach. The land evaluation methods indicated that information on production potential of soils provide a basis for comparison among different soils.
