Answer

(a) The paddy is being sown in the given picture by Transplantation method.

(b) Two reasons due to which Transplantation method of rice cultivation is restricted only to the prosperous farmers of the country are as follows:

  1. High Labour Cost — Transplantation requires a large number of labourers for preparing nurseries, uprooting seedlings, and replanting them in the main field. Hiring this labour involves significant expense, which only well-off farmers can afford.

  2. Access to Irrigation Facilities — This method needs controlled irrigation at various stages of growth. Prosperous farmers usually have better access to reliable water sources like tube wells or canal irrigation, which is essential for successful transplantation.
