- hill dropping
seeding patterns
random scattering of seeds over the surface of the field
broadcasting
seeding patterns
random dropping and covering of the seeds in furrows to give definite rows
drill seeding
seeding patterns
accurate placing of single seeds at about equal intervals in rows
precision planting
seeding patterns
placing groups of seeds at bout equal intervals in rows
hill dropping
2 planting systems
solid planting
row crop planting
planting systems
spacing between rows or planting beds does not permit the entry of machinery for intertilling and other cultural practices
solid planting
planting systems
rows or planting beds are far enough to permit the entry of machinery between rows for intertilling and other cultural practices
