Advantages of direct-seeded rapeseed
(Agricultural Wealth Network) Advantages of direct-seeded rapeseed: First, it saves seedling beds. Direct-seeded rapeseed is sown directly in the field, eliminating the seedling-raising process, and therefore also saving land for raising seedlings; second, it saves labor. Compared with transplanted rapeseed, direct-seeded rapeseed eliminates the two processes of seedling raising and transplanting, thus also reducing labor; third, it increases benefits. Each mu of direct-seeded rapeseed requires 6 fewer labor-days than transplanted rapeseed. Calculated at 20 yuan per labor-day, this saves 120 yuan per mu.
