Transplanting of rice is either done manually or by machines. Transplanting of wash root seedlings of rice by hand is most common practice among Indian farmers. This method required higher manual labor and more time as compared to mechanical transplanting. Trichy district was selected to study the impact of mechanical transplantation and the district is falling under Cauvery delta Zone. The interview schedule for farmers (beneficiaries) survey covered aspects such as general farm and household characteristics, details on cultivation practices adopted in Rice cultivation, cost details of cultivation, merits and demerits of the mechanical transplanting. Majority of the beneficiaries farming experience ranged between 21 and 30 years. Beneficiaries were distributed in the descending order of medium, small and marginal farmer categories. Around 90 per cent of the beneficiaries were in the annual income around Rs. 1 lakh. Beneficiaries reported the significantly reduced the mental agony in rice cultivation, increased the number of productive tiller, reduced seed rate resulted in reduction of cost of cultivation.
