Title: Comparative performance evaluation of DP 480 model and ARP-4UM rice transplanter
Abstract: Two types of rice transplanter model were hired to conduct the experiment at Bangladesh Agricultural University (BAU), Mymensingh in May-June, 2014 for Aman season to evaluate their comparative performances. Both the transplanters were tested in the departmental laboratory and in the field. During off-field test on concrete, the seedling per hill at high, medium and low position of seedling density controller was found 7, 5 and 4 in ARP-4UM model and it was14.3%, 20%, and 50% less in the DP 480 model compared to ARP-4UM model. During in field test the seedling per hill at high position of seedling density controller was found to be same in ARP-4UM model and DP 480 model but for medium and low position the seedling per hill was 6,3 and 1 in DP 480 model which was 25% and 50% more in ARP-4UM compared to DP 480 model. After the experiment, the transplanting depth for shallow, standard and deeper position of depth controller was found 2.39, 3.89 and 6.42 in DP 480 model and it was 10.3%, 6.9% and 30.99% less in ARP-4UM. On an average the percent of skidding was found 12.3% in DP 480 model and 16.2% in ARP-4UM model at the 15cm prefixed position of the plant to plant distance controller. Percent of missing hill in 120cm×200cm was found 4.35% in ARP-4UM model and 2.18% in DP 480 model. The field capacity was found 0.2052 ha/hr in DP 480 model and 0.1801 ha/hr in ARP-4UM model. The amount of Fuel consumed in ARP-4UM Model was obtained 1.43 lit/ha and in DP 480 Model rice transplanter it was 1.57 lit/ha. After calculating all the parameters related to the performance of the rice transplanter it was found that the DP 480 model was better compared to the ARP-4UM model in terms of break-even analysis.
