Some disadvantages of budding plants include the risk of the bud failing to take and the possibility of transmitting diseases from the parent plant to the new plant. Additionally, budding can be a more time-consuming and labor-intensive method of propagation compared to other techniques like seed sowing.
Two devices commonly used for sowing seeds are seed drills and seed spreaders. Seed drills are machines that sow seeds in rows at precise depths, while seed spreaders scatter seeds more broadly across a field.
Yes, it is possible to mix a seed with other seeds, soil, or growing mediums for planting. Mixing seeds may be done to create custom seed blends or to ensure even distribution when sowing. However, it's important to mix seeds carefully to avoid damaging them and to follow proper planting guidelines for each seed type.
Generally seed require a few things in order to germinate:Water/ moistureSoil (or a growing medium)Heat/ warmthDarkness or in the case of some seed lightGeneral guide is that the seed should be covered to double the diameter of the seed itself. In the case of many small or fine seed varieties it is best to leave them uncovered with soil.Keep the soil moist during germination, but not too wet as this can cause fungal problems.It is always best to research the seed variety you are germinating if you are not sure of the specifics - as different seeds have different germination periods.
When seed is spread naturally (or by animals) its called dispersal.When seed is spread artificially (during horticultural production) its called sowing, broadcasting is a method of sowing.
Spreading of seeds on the ground is known as sowing. And spreading of seeds by wind is known dispersal.

To raise plants
Sowing with a seed drill offers several advantages, including improved seed placement and depth control, leading to more uniform germination and better crop establishment. It reduces seed wastage by minimizing overlap and ensures accurate spacing between seeds, which can enhance crop yield. Additionally, seed drills can facilitate the incorporation of fertilizers and pesticides during sowing, promoting better growth and pest management. Overall, this method can enhance efficiency and productivity in agricultural practices.

You are describing an old method called sowing the seeds. It was used for large and small fields. This was used for grass like crops that didn't have to be in even rows.
Alicia has written: 'Sowing the good seed a Canadian tale'
All of the planets were named after Roman gods and goddesses. Saturn the second largest planet, was named for Saturn, the God of Farming.
That which sows seed; a sowing-machine. Or a person can be a sower as well. It also means someone who spreads something. That could be sowing doubt in someone's mind.
Alfred Ernest Panter has written: 'The seed is for sowing'
Sowing means planting a seed. Reaping means harvesting the fruits of the seeds you sowed. Gleaning means gathering what was left after the harvest.
