Solution

1.Seed-driil:

  • A seed drill is a device used in agriculture that sows seeds for crops by positioning them in the soil and burying them to a specific depth.
  • This ensures that seeds will be distributed evenly.
  • The seed drill sows the seeds at the proper seeding rate and depth, ensuring that the seeds are covered by soil.
  • This saves them from being eaten by birds and animals, or being dried up due to exposure to the sun.

2. Broadcasting:

  • Broadcasting is a widespread method of sowing seeds.
  • Broadcasting is the process of random scattering or spreading seeds on the surface of seedbeds that may or may not be incorporated into the soil or covered with soil or similar other materials.
