Likewise, transplantation in areas inaccessible to tractors (rice paddy fields or steep mountain slopes) is possible using aerial power where large areas need to be planted in order to justify the increased cost.
The emphasis is on the adoption of mechanized techniques in farming systems which are already using animal draft. The issues surrounding the introduction of animal draft where only hand cultivation is practiced are discussed in Pingali, Bigot, and Binswanger (1985). Instead of a summary or conclusions, a set of generalizations is presented in the text.
