Question

What precautions must be taken while sowing seeds in a field?

Answer 1

While sowing seeds in a field, the following points must be kept in mind:

• Seeds of good quality and health should be selected.
• Seeds must be planted at the proper depth in the soil.
• Water is required for the germination of seeds. Therefore, the soil must have adequate water in it.
• Seeds should be sown at a proper distance from each other. If they are sown very close, they will compete for water, sunlight and nutrients. If they are sown too far away, it will result in the wastage of field area.
