Question

Identify the use of a seed drill.

• A. It is used to put manure or fertiliser near the roots of trees.
• B. It is used to sow the seeds at equal distances.
• C. It is useful to remove weeds in a field.
• D. Both A and B.

Answer 1

The correct option is B It is used to sow the seeds at equal distances.

Seed drill is a device that sows the seeds in the soil and covers them to a certain depth. It helps to sow the seeds at equal distance and proper depth to save the seeds from being eaten by birds. This practice is used to overcome the problems of sowing done by hand. The use of a seed drill can improve the ratio of crop yield.

Thus, the correct option is B.
