Direct seeding is an agricultural practice where seeds are sown directly into the soil without prior preparation of a seedbed. This method can help reduce soil erosion and conserve moisture, making it an efficient way to grow crops. It is often used in conservation agriculture to promote sustainable farming practices. Farmers who use direct seeding typically rely on specialized equipment to plant seeds at the correct depth and spacing. This technique can lead to improved soil health and reduced labor costs, as it minimizes the need for tillage and other soil disturbance methods.
