Rice is the major cereal in Odisha. In Jajpur district rice is also taken as the first cereal crop by most of the people in their diet. It is grown in an area of more than 1.25 lakh ha with a production of about tones of paddy per year in Jajpur district. Farmers are preferred transplanting than direct sowing of paddy. As line transplanting is increasing the production. An attempt in this paper has been made by Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Jajpur to find the efficacy of 3 row rice transplanter developed by Odisha University of Agriculture and Technology over manual line transplanting. Economic analysis from both the methods of transplanting showed that cost of cultivation for manual transplanting was more than that of mechanical transplanting. A benefit cost ratio of 2.05 was found in case of mechanical transplanting than that of manual transplanting i.e., 1.65.
