SOWING
Before sowing, high-quality seeds are chosen. Clean, nutritious, and of a nice variety, good quality seeds are those. If we are given seeds to choose from, we must put all of the seeds in a pail of water and thoroughly agitate them. Few seeds will float in the water, and the majority of the seeds will settle at the bottom of the bucket. Seeds with damage become hollow and lighter as a result. They float on water as a result.
Seed Drill
In modern times, tractors’ hoes are utilized to spread seeds. This device evenly distributes the seeds at the correct depths.
