| Abstract | ||
| Steckling transplanting is a laborious and time consuming, therefore a difficult and expensive practice in sugar beet seed production. Therefore a new semi-automatic steckling planter has been devised to achieve higher output by decreasing the cost of cultivation. Mechanized and hand transplanting methods were compared for their planting capacity and costs. The experiment was carried out with five replications, and treatments were sorted according to t-test. The results showed that the two systems of steckling transplanting were significantly different. The cost and duration of work in mechanized method were 10.19% and 25% lower than in hand planted method respectively and the number of plants established increased by 36.7% in machine transplanting method. | ||
