This is an era of mechanized cultivation. "Rice Transplanter", an >instance of innovative technology has come to help the farmers of coastal >districts. >The Rice Planter machine will help the farmers in cultivation. It is very easy >to operate and it is a profitable one. In olden days people used to spend more >than Rs 12,000 by appointing 15 to 20 labourers for planting the rice paddy. >And for one acre of land it was taking 8 to 10 days but now with the help of 2 >labourers the same work can be done. >Speaking on the occasion Elias D'Souza said, "I have cultivated 5 acres of >land and got an yield of 18 tonnes of rice". He further said that with the >help of the Rice Transplanter, the sowing work will be done within a day, >whereas it was taking 12 days to sow. Even the production is more, he >said.Eliaz used 10 tones of manure, one kg borax, 8 kgs tin sulphate and 8 kgs >chalk for each acre of land and has got a good yield. According to the advice >of the Farmers Communication Centre, Agriculture department, Elias bought the >"Rice Transplanter" for Rs 1.60 lakhs. He also rents the Rice Transplanter to >his neighbours for use. His son Suraj said that the Mechanized cultivation has >brought good profit, the Rice Transplanter works faster than humans saving >more time and energy. >_________________________________________________________________________________ > > > > >BRAZ DE PARRA TO PRESENT KONKANI TIATR IN KUWAIT >http://www.goablog100.blogspot.com/2013/02/ami-khuxal.html > > >_____________________THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: If we say less than we should, it is >easy to add.
