New Kind of Paddy-rice Cultivator Developed in DPRK
Pyongyang, May 2 (KCNA) -- The Institute of Agricultural Mechanization in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea has recently developed a new kind of multi-functional paddy-rice cultivator.

The cultivator consists of weeding, manuring and spraying parts. Especially, it ploughs soil while weeding, which helps prevent root scab. Spraying part is installed in the front, making it possible to evenly spray liquid agrochemicals.

The machine can be made by mechanized work teams or repair sub-work teams of co-op farms, as it costs low with easy structures.

It has already proved effective in farms in Anju area, south Phyongan Province.
