Machinery utilization and production cost of wetland, direct seeding paddy cultivation in Malaysia

A mean mechanization index of 0.59 and a total machinery energy of 477.78 MJ/ha were recorded for the direct seeding paddy cultivation in Malaysia. Highest mechanization index and machinery energy were obtained in the harvesting operation (0.99 and 336.81 MJ/ha) while the lowest values were in pesti...
