What are the differences and benefits between traditional manual transplanting and transplanter transplanting?

At present, for individual family farms, the survival rate and final yield of manual transplanting are higher than those of mechanical transplanting.

The plants transplanted by machine are much smaller than those transplanted by hand, and the survival rate will be smaller than that by hand.

Mechanical transplanting is delicate in the subsequent growth, and it is more vulnerable to common diseases such as weeds and pests. Even if pesticides are used, it is easy to cause accidental injury.

Moreover, the maintenance cost and labor cost of machine transplanting are more than those of manual transplanting.

To sum up, if there is no corresponding new management method, the final output of mechanical transplanting will be less than that of manual transplanting.
