Experiments were conducted in rainfed condition to study the effect of mechanical planting methods on straw and grain yields, water use efficiency and net returns from rice cultivation. Field efficiency of planting machines was compared with the traditional method of manual transplanting with root washed seedlings. Variations in yields of straw and grain and water use efficiency due to use of machines were not significant compared to the manual transplanting. Compared to manual transplanting, saving in cost of planting with the use of machines was substantial (average: Rs. 1,048/ha against Rs. 9,250/ha) which reduced the total cost of production by 24 % and enhanced the net profit by 42 % (to Rs.31,465/ha).
