Key Points

This research aims to evaluate the effects of different furrowing techniques on the growth and yield of no-till paddy rice.
Utilized a commercial rotary transplanting machine to develop V-shaped furrows for transplanting.
Compared various disk sizes and configurations for furrow creation and evaluated corresponding growth and yield.
Examined differences in yield and growth performance across multiple planting techniques including pot and crank type transplanting.
Yield reductions were observed in no-furrow treatments, averaging 540 kg/10a compared to traditional tillage.
Using two 165 mm disks resulted in yields equivalent to conventional tillage, while reducing disk size or number decreased yields by up to 33%.
The primary factor for yield reduction was attributed to a decrease in the number of panicles, significantly affecting early growth.

Examines the effect of furrowing on plant growth and grain yield in no-till paddy rice, indicating optimal methods for improved yields.
