Initial design of an automated system for paddy seedling placement in a germination tray

Domestic demand for rice in Malaysia is more than the amount of local production; hence extra supplies are imported from neighbouring countries. For self-sustenance and food security, the government has targeted for a rise in the domestic rice production. Since conventional practice depends on labou...
