Question

What are the advantages of broadcasting seeds?

Answer 1

Broadcast seeding is of particular use in establishing dense plant spacing, as for cover crops and lawns. 

Answer 2

Answer:

The advantage of broadcast seeding is that it permits large acreages to be sown in less time; the disadvantages are poor soil to seed contact, uneven planting depths (some seed too shallow for proper emergence of permanent root systems, and other seed too deep for germination), and, often, poor plant distribution.
