There are two main methods of sowing seeds - direct sowing and transplanting. Direct sowing can be done through broadcasting, which scatters seeds randomly, or line sowing, which includes drilling seeds in rows, dibbling by placing seeds in holes, or sowing behind a plow. Broadcasting is often done manually while line sowing methods like drilling and dibbling can be manual or mechanized. Transplanting involves growing seedlings in a nursery and then planting them in the field.
Role of Grasses and Pastures, Wind breaks and Shelter belts in soil conserva...Abhilash Singh Chauhan
This document discusses the role of pastures and grasses in soil conservation. It begins by defining pasture and describing the vegetation typically found in pastures. Well-maintained pastures protect soil by maintaining vegetative cover, which reduces the impact of raindrops and absorbs rainfall. The roots and leaves of pasture grasses hold soil in place and block water runoff. Grazing livestock also help nutrient cycling which enriches the soil. Windbreaks and shelterbelts are effective at reducing wind speed and soil erosion through intercepting wind. Even sparse shelterbelts provide shelter over many times their height and significantly reduce wind erosion.
