Common sowing methods are as follows:

1. Broadcasting:

It is to spread the seeds evenly on the surface of the soil without digging trenches, holes or row spacing. , sowing without plant-to-row spacing. After sowing, the soil should be rake lightly in time. This method of spreading has no spacing between plants and is convenient for sowing. However, the sowing should be as even as possible and the sowing depth should be controlled.

2. Drill sowing:

Drill sowing is the most common method used in pasture planting. Mechanical sowing is often used. One or more rows are dug, sown and covered with soil at the same time. As the pasture row spacing can Keep it at about 15 to 30 centimeters, and it is mostly used when there is moisture, lots of rain, and good irrigation conditions.

3. On-demand sowing:

On-demand sowing is to sow holes according to a certain spacing between plants, usually in the forward direction. The on-demand sowing method is beneficial to the growth of feed crops and shrubs with larger plant sizes. , the seeds are sown in the holes with the same depth. You can use a seeding machine, but it is very labor-intensive if it is done manually.

Advantages and disadvantages of various sowing methods

1. Sowing on demand

The sowing on demand method has neat emergence. This method saves money. Seeds are easy to manage in the field. The disadvantage is that sowing is labor-intensive. They are mainly used in seed fields or propagating rare and precious grass seeds. Forage grasses such as silage corn and pineapple are mostly grown on demand.

2. Drill sowing

The advantages are neat seedling emergence, good ventilation and light transmission conditions, easy field management, and increased yield. Fertilization can be concentrated to achieve economical fertilizer use, such as alfalfa, Pastures such as oats, ryegrass, and barley can be drilled. Among them, ryegrass drill and broadcast are both possible. The most common high-yielding pasture grasses, including bamboo grass, moist grass, sweet elephant grass, bullwhip, etc., are also mainly drilled.

3. Broadcasting

Before sowing, weeds must be removed. Broadcasting is generally done by aircraft in large areas, and small areas can be spread directly manually. Broadcasting will lead to uneven seed distribution, uneven depth, uneven seedling growth, more weeds, inconvenient field management, and slightly higher seeding rates than other seeding methods.
