Question

Why is the use of a seed drill more advantageous as compared to sowing seeds by boardcasting

Answer 1

The advantages of using seed drill for sowing seeds are :-

The seed drill sows the seeds at equal distances and proper depth, ensuring that the seeds get covered with soil and saved from being eaten by birds.

We can save time and less seeds are wasted by this method .

The use of seed drill can improve the ratio of crop yield ( seeds harvested per seeds planted)by as much as nine times.

It helps in improved seed germination.

Have fun!

Answer 2

seed drill is a device that sows the seedsfor crops by metering out the individual seeds, positioning them in the soil, and covering them to a certain average depth. The seed drill sows the seeds at equal distances and proper depth, ensuring that the seeds get covered with soil and are saved from being eaten by birds. Before the introduction of the seed drill, a common practice was to plant seeds by hand. Besides being wasteful, planting was usually imprecise and led to a poor distribution of seeds, leading to low productivity. The use of a seed drill can improve the ratio of crop yield (seeds harvested per seed planted) by as much as nine times
