What is transplanting?

TRANSPLANTING – is the process of removing a plant from the place where it has been growing and replanting
it in another. The major requirement in transplanting (especially of larger plants) is a sufficient water supply, since
the roots are almost inevitably injured in the process.

Mechanical Seeder – a machine used in direct seeding of pre germinated seeds in either lowland or upland field
Drum seeder – an equipment used for direct seeding of pre – germinated seeds, either lowland or upland field
condition.

PROPER WAY OF PULLING SEEDLINGS

1. Irrigate the seedbed overnight to a depth of at least 3-5 centimeters
2. Hold the seedlings close to the base and gently pull them.
3. Another method is to use a scythe to cut through the soil half inch below the stem while ensuring that adequate
roots of the seedlings are retained
4. Bundle them in any convenient size for ease of handling.

Seedlings raised through dapog Method are prepared following the steps below.
1. Cut the bed into convenient size of at least one square foot and roll each piece. Do not prune the seedlings
2. Roll the matted dapog seedlings.
3. Tie the rolled seedlings.

Pulling and Transplanting

• Pulling of seedlings will be done one day before transplanting. According to CBLM year 3, early maturing rice
varieties that can be harvested from 110 to 115 days after transplanting will be transplanted from 16 to 18 days
after sowing. However, late maturing varieties will be transplanted from 20 – 25 days after sowing

Proper Transplanting of Rice Seedlings following Rate Distance and Depth of Planting
1. Straight row planting – Seedlings are transplanted in straight rows where definite spacing is maintained
between plants. Use guides or markers to attain straight rows. Hold the seedlings in between the thumb
and the first and second finger and insert these gently into soil.
Plant seedlings in spots indicated by the guides or markers. For inbred varieties of rice, transplant 2-3
seedlings per hill and 1-2 seedlings for the hybrid varieties at a depth of 2-3 centimeters.For highland rice
culture, cold tolerant traditional varieties are transplanted 30 – 45 days at a distance of 15 cm x 20 cm with
2-3 seedlings per hill.

2. Random transplanting – this method of transplanting has no specific distance in planting. However, planters
tend to plant too close or too far which sometimes adversely affect the potential yield of the variety and the use of
rotary weeder. Seedlings raised in dapog maethod should be transplanted 4 – 7 seedlings per hill using the
straight row or random planting method.
METHODS OF PLANTING

Direct Seeding

• This method could be done in irrigated and dry rainfed planting. Direct seeding in puddled soil is recommended
in areas where irrigation facilities are costly, scarce, and just rely on rain.
• For land preparation, follow the procedure in irrigated field for transplanting. Follow the procedure in pre
germinating the seeds. Broadcast 80 – 100 kg/ha of pre germinated rice in well prepared and levelled paddies. A
new technology has been introduced with the use of a drum seeder. The drum seeder regulates the distance of
planting and the number of seeds per hill. For upland or rainfed areas, pre germinated seeds are drilled in rows or
in furrows at the rate of 2-3 inches seeds/hill at a distance of 20-30 centimeters. Drain the field the following day to
facilitate uniform germination of seeds.
• Direct seeding of free germinated seeds using the drum seeder saves seeds and facilitates mechanical weeding.
Drum seedeer regulates plant distance with fairly low rate of seeds at 50- 100 kg per hectare.

Dibbling method

• Seeds are dibbled in straight rows at 15 cm x 15 cm to 25 cm x 25cm with 5- 8 seeds per hill.

Drilling method

• Seeds are planted in furrows made by plow with the same distance and rate of seeding as in dibbling.

IMPORTANT THING TO REMEMBER

• A day before transplanting, pull seedlings carefully to minimize seedling damage
• Clean and bundle seedlings for ease of transporting
• Random transplanting has no definite distance and alignment between plants while straight row planting has
uniform distance and spaces
• Direct seeding can be done by broadcasting or with the use of a drum seeder or mechanical seeder. It requires
less labor in planting.
