Sowing
For sowing, high-quality, healthy seeds are collected. They must be planted at the appropriate depth in the soil. To aid in germination, they must be treated with chemicals. Weed control is performed to prevent weeds from entering the fertiliser. The soil should have enough water to allow for proper seed germination. Planting the seeds too close together reduces the amount of sunlight, water, and nutrients they receive. Sowing the seeds is done in a variety of ways.
Drilling Seeds
- A seed drill is a modern method of seeding. It is a more effective and efficient method than hand sowing. It is typically accomplished by attaching iron drills to a tractor.
- Seed drills ensure that seeds are planted in the soil at equal intervals and at the proper depth.
Dibbling
- It is the process of placing seed material at a predetermined spacing in a furrow, pit, or hole with a dibble, or more commonly by hand. For moist soil contact, the soil around the hole is pressed with the hand or leg.
Manual sowing
- Hand scattering of seeds is the most basic method of seed sowing. This is the most cost-effective method of seeding.
