Question

Seed drill is important because

• A. It prevents overcrowding of plants.
• B. It saves time and labour.
• C. It protects seed from birds.
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

All of the above

A seed drill is a sowing device that positions seeds in the morning and then covers them. 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. Also, due to sowing at equal distances, it prevents overcrowding of plants. Before the introduction of the seed drill, the common practice was to plant seeds by hand which was time and labour consuming.

Thus, the correct answer is option D.
