seeding in paddy field by using Drum Seeder and Eng. Balasooriya is explaining |
The
major benefit on this system is that the drum seeder itself can be also
placed on any type of soil. Then seeding can be done easily , quickly and
evenly by this drum seeder. In row seeding, the seeds are sowed in furrows made by
the boot of the planter and evenly covered with loose soil to a given depth.
This ensures uniform sprouting and plant development and simultaneous
maturation.
