RICE

• Rice is an important staple food crop
• Rice ranks second as a major food crop of
  Pakistan
• Rice production of the country is not upto its
  potential due to a number of constraints such as
• 1- poor water management practices like unleveled
  fields

conti

• 2- Traditional form layouts
• 3- Improper method of irrigation
• 4-Lack of adequate irrigation and drainage
  facilities
• 5- Poor agronomic practices

6
IS THERE ANY NEED OF NEW TECHNOLOGY

• A technological break through was essential in
  rice production to meet the food requirement of
  ever increasing population
• Active participation of faming community acts as
  a catalyst for rapid diffusion of resource
  conservation
• So this is the need of hour to introduce some
  modern techniques like parachute technology in
  Rice

7
INTRODUCTION TO PARACHUTE TECHNOLOGY

• Parachute rice transplanting is a technique of
  tossing rice seedlings, uprooted from plastic
  trays containing soil ball, in a projectile
  manner into a puddled field

8
DIMENSION OF PLASTIC TRAYS

• Size of plastic tray is 2313 which contain 434
  plugs
• 0.5 wide and 0.5 deep

9
METHOD OF RAISING NURSERY

• 2 to 3 healthy seeds are broadcasted in each plug
  of the tray followed by placing a thin layer of
  soil over it
• About 160-200 trays are sufficient to raise
  nursery for one acre
• Light irrigation is applied frequently
• Nursery take only 25-30 days to attain the height
  of 20cm that can be uprooted easily

METHOD OF TRANSPLANTING NURSERY

• Seedlings after being uprooted from the tray with
  a soil ball are thrown manually in a projectile
  manner for planting upright
• A solo spray machine is used to broadcast the
  rice seedlings
• In this method a steel tray is attached with the
  machine at 60 angle to drop seedlings in a
  projectile way

BENEFITS OF PARACHUTE TECHNOLOGY

• Saving of water
• Less Labour
• Increase in yield from 30-40
• Significant increase in plant population

15
PRACTICAL DEMONSTRATION OF PARACHUTE TECHNOLOGY

• Parachute technology has been obtained from china
  and now is being introduced In Punjab for getting
  positive results of paddy crop
• Under this technology the nurseries of paddy
  would be sown In trays and after some time the
  plants would be shifted to agricultural field
  under specific methods of technology
• 45,200 parachute trays would be utilized during
  the demonstration of this technology in

Conti

• In Sialkot 22,400, Gujranwala 17,000 and
  Hafizabad 5800 parachute trays would be used
  during the demonstration of this technology
• 200 parachute trays would be used for raising a
  nursery for one acre
• In Sialkot 50 demonstration plots, Gujranwala 40
  and Hafizabad 13 plots would be prepared under
  this technology

18
BASIC THEME OF THIS PRESENTATION

• Our main objective is to increase the per acre
  yield
• By ensuring only 80,000 plants per acre at
  transplanting the per acre yield could be
  enhanced by 20-25
• But by using this parachute technology
  population of 100,000 plants per acre could
  easily be obtained so off course we can get a
  good yield
