Abstract
A study has been conducted to find out the effect of different methods of lifting and stumping of Teak seedling on stump quality. Teak seedling were lifted manually done by hand using crow bar (digging / pulling) and by using back hoe loader in 10 month old Teak mother bed (each 10 beds- size 1m length and 5m width) nursery.Variable costs such as machinery and labour were of interest in this study. Other inputs were assumed to be equal across treatments. Hiring charge of back hoe loader, machine hour, labour type, working hour and wage rate were measured. From this experiment it could be concluded that lifting the Teak seedling by back hoe loader resulted in reduce the human drudgery, lifting of more seedling with lesser time and cost without impairing the seedling growth.
