The broadcasting method

What is broadcasting sowing method?

Broadcasting is the scattering or spreading of the seeds on the soil, which may or may not be incorporated into the soil.

Broadcasting of seeds may be done by hand,mechanical spreader or aeroplane.

Broadcasting is the easy, quick and cheap method of seeding.The difficulties observed in broadcasting are:

uneven distribution,
improper placement of seeds and
less soil cover and compaction. As all the seeds are not placed in uniform density and depth,there is
no uniformity of germination, seedling vigor and establishment.

It is mostly suited for closely spaced and small seeded crops.
