Randomization Method
|
Before
Randomization was done on a computer using Stata 17. The randomization was stratified by district, historical use of drum seeders, and wages for transplanting labor.
The individual randomization is stratified by any past direct seeding, extent of paddy cultivation, and gram panchayat. We will only randomize in GPs with more than 5 rentals in either the past winter or the current kharif season. Gram Panchayats with more than 20 rentals in either season will also be excluded.

GPs whose reported nursery planting time was after the date of the initial randomization were also included.
