Explanation:
Sowing is the process of distributing seeds in a prepared patch of land, for it to germinate and grow into plants. Major crops like rice, wheat, oats, rye etc. are sown.
Hand sowing involves spreading handful of seeds over a prepared patch of land and covering it with a little soil or sometime, leaving it as it is, to germinate.
