Question

b. How did the practice of transplanting paddy saplings help in agriculture?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Transplanting ensures a uniform plant stand and gives the rice crop a head start over emerging weeds. Further, seedlings are established even if the field is not leveled adequately and has variable water levels. Transplanting may also allow crop intensification as the crop is in the main field for less time.
