Life cycle of seed :
Seed Coat - Protects the inside of the seed.
Embryo - the beginning of the new plant.
Endosperm - Stored food in a monocotyledon.
Stored Food - a plant uses stored food until it grows leaves that can make food.
Monocot - a type of seed that has only one cotyledon.
Dicot - a type of seed that has two cotyledons.
Cotyledon - Leaf-like structure that absorbs and digest food stored in the seed.
Germination - the process of growing a new plant from a seed.

What is sowing?
Sowing is the process of planting seeds. In seeding, little if any soil is placed over the seeds. More precisely, seeds can be generally sown into the soil by maintaining a planting depth of about 2-3 times the size of the seed
Are seed drills used today?
Yes. Seed drills still have to be used to sow seed in the fields. Some folks prefer seed drills (like the packer drills) to air seeders because of the power that the packers have when sowing seeds, like grass seeds, which grow best when the soil is packed down moderately when sown.
Why is it necessary to sow seeds at appropriate depth?
1. If you plant a seed too deep, it will not get enough sunlight to germinate. If you plant a seed to shallow, it won't have enough soil cover to support the germinating top growth. The rule of thumb on planting seed is plant three times the depth of the size of the seed. If you have seeds that are very tiny, just the barest covering of soil is enough. For larger seeds, the depth varies with the size of the seed. 2. It is necessary to sow seeds at an appropriate depth because it ensures the proper and timely germination of the seed. The seed sown at more depth will not be able to germinate on time and the leafs will not appear on the surface on time. This is because it has to cross the layer of soil to come or appear on the surface. Similarly the seeds are not sown superficially on the ground because they can be eaten by the birds or can be easily carried away by wind.

Why do the farmer till soil?
So that the soil is less dense on the surface, allowing seeds to be easily buried once sown.
Is a marigold a seed producing or a spore producing?
Marigolds produce seeds, not spores. Marigold seeds are large and sown directly into a garden. They grow in sandy, loamy, or clay type soil and bloom in every season except winter.
What are the steps in laying grass seed?
Lay soil and mulch mix down on the ground at a depth of around 2 inches, and then spread the grass seed by hand. Lightly cover the seed with a little soil, but only so that they are partly covered. Water frequently with a sprinkler until the ground is soaked, and wait for the seeds to germinate and start growing. Do not cut the grass for the rest of the year, but if you need to, only set the blades so that they don't cut the first 2 or 3 inches of the grasses. Don't cut so frequently either, as the roots of the sown grasses need to establish themselves well enough. Water once daily as needed.
Does grass grow from seed?
sometimes
Why is it necessary to till the soil before planting a garden?
It is necessary because tilling softens the dirt so the plant roots can grow. A plant can not grow on hard soil.The reason for tilling is to give the seed being sown the same chance as the weeds.
What are the two methods of planting?
Broadcasting is a method that is used to sow large seed or seeds that can be field grown and easily harvested (normally by hand). Normally the seed is not covered. Drill method. This either makes a shallow hole or shallow trench in the soil, the seed is then sown into the depression and the soil covered over the top of it. Mechanical seeding. This can be accomplished in a number of ways. Either a mechanical seeding machine is used (as in agriculture), or a seeding machine can be used - this is normally a hydraulic or pneumatic device to pick up individual seed and drop them into a prepared hole. The seed is then covered or uncovered (depending on the type).
