SOWING
It is a an art of placing seeds in the soil to
have good germination in the field
Qualities of Good Sowing
 Correct amount of seed per unit area
 Correct depth at which seed is placed in soil which
depends on moisture availability and seed emergence
capacity
 Correct spacing between row to row and plant to plant

Methods of Sowing SRFMTTI

• Broadcasting
• Dibbling
• Sowing behind plough
• Drilling
• Planting
• Transplanting
02-08-2019 50
 SRFMTTI
Broadcasting
• Random scattering of seed on field surface

• After broadcasting planking is done

• Generally higher seed rate is required and
used for kharif crops
• Mechanical broadcasters are available for
large scale use

02-08-2019 51
Dibbling SRFMTTI

•Placing two or more seeds in holes made in

the soil
•Suitable for small plots
•Generally used for vegetable crops

Sowing behind the plough
•A man drops seeds in the furrow behind the
plough
•It consists of a bamboo tube with a funnel
•Correct amount of seed sown depends on to the
skill of the labourer.
•Slow and laborious method
•Used for maize, gram, peas, wheat & barley
02-08-2019 57
Drilling
•Dropping the seeds in furrow lines in a continuous flow and
covering them with soil
•Suitable for small seeds
•High accuracy in metering (mechanical), depth, row spacing

Disadvantages
•Plant to plant distance cannot be maintained
•Seed tubes get clogged in clayey soil.
•Seed damage

Zero till seed cum fertilizer drill

• It is the procedure whereby a crop is planted directly
without doing any tillage operation after harvesting of
previous crop.

• Generally practiced in paddy-wheat rotation in India.

• Identical with conventional seed drill except it uses

inverted ‘T’ type furrow opener.

• Seed treatment: To avoid loss due to birds , seeds are

treated with Vitavix / Bavistin at the rate of 2.5 gm/ kg
of wheat seed.

Benefits SRFMTTI
Soil conservation
Energy conservation
• Saves 65% of energy (saves 20lit of diesel per hectare)
Time Conservation
• Saves 70% time of sowing
•Weed infestation is comparatively less due to non availability on nutrients from well
placed fertilizer near to the wheat seed
•Reduces soil compaction
•Crop residue of paddy crop is added to soil which reduces the consumption of basal
dose of Nitrogen by 25%
•Specific cost of production reduced by 20 % (Saves Rs.1800/- per ha)
•Increases soil fertility

•Disadvantages
•Seed rate is 25 % Higher
•Not suitable for very heavy clayey soils

Strip till seed cum fertilizer drill
SRFMTTI
•Works on minimum tillage concept.
•Used to sow immediately after harvesting
•It is a standard tractor mounted seed drill to which a
rotavator is attached at its front which is run by PTO
•The blades are so arranged in rotavator that, it tills only
7.5cms in front of each furrow opener
•Only 40 % sowing area is tilled
•Saves diesel and time to the tune of 50-60 % & 65-75 %
respectively.
•Increases fertility of soil 67

 SRFMTTI
Ridger Seeder
•It consists of two Ridger bottom and 4 row seed drill.
•It can sow the seeds both on ridges and in furrows.
•During Kharif, seeds are sown on the sides of ridges,
so that crop is prevented from excessive rain, crust
formation and improve germination
•During Rabi, seeds are sown in furrow so that lower
layer of soil is exploited for good germination and
plant emergence.

•Improves yield by 5 to 10 %
•Saves seed and fertilizer by 25 to 30 %
•Prevent lodging of crops
•Saves irrigation by 30 to 35 %
•Facilitates easy mechanical weeding and reduces
herbicides dependence
•Higher benefit-cost ratio

Transplanting
• Transplanting of seedlings is commonly
done for paddy, vegetables crops and
flower plants
• Transplanted crop gives higher yields
• Transplanting can be done by manual and
self propelled transplanters.
