This is an alternate method of paddy transplanting developed by International Rice Research Institute, Philippines and later on recommended by Main Rice Research Station, G.A.U., Nawagam.

Advantages of this method
This method saves labour, time and cost of nursery raising and gives about 30-35 % more profit as compared to transplanted paddy. It also saves about 20 % of water and 30 % labour cost besides giving 10-15 % (1 tonne) more yield than TP paddy. This method helps in maturing the crop 10-20 days early than TP paddy.
