                    [Summary] => Farmers can avoid the labor-intensive and costly manual rice transplanting in puddled soils by shifting to an engine-driven mechanical transplanter.


The traditional manual transplanting of rice in puddled soils requires 10 to 20 man-days per hectare. During peak planting period, labor is scarce. This results in a demand for high wage rate, which makes farm production costly.

The Philippine Rootcrop Research and Training Center (PhilRootcrops) of Leyte State University (LSU) in Baybay, Leyte developed a system that can produce cassava grates at an average of 20 kilograms per hour or more than two tons per month.


The system involves the use of cassava grater, cassava grates spinner, cassava grates pulverizer and sieve, and rotary drum dryer. The procedure involves peeling and trimming, washing, grating, spinning, pulverizing, finishing, drying, and packing.
