list advantages of using seed drill for sowing seed?

The use of seed drills is beneficial because

• It allows sowing seeds at an appropriate depth

•Seeds at a depth cannot be picked by birds

•Seeds sown in proper rows result in uniform growth and reduce overcrowding. Thereby, providing sufficient nutrients, water and sunlight to all plants

The seed drill was invented in 1701 by Jethro Tull. It help the farmers to sow seed in better way.

When his invention was used, a larger share of the seed germinated. As a result, crop yields increased even more.

Also, seeds were inserted under the soil so the wasteful method of hand broadcastind was abandoned!

A seed drill is a sowing device that positions seeds in the soil and then covers them. The seed drill sows the seeds at equal distances and proper depth, ensuring that the seeds get covered with soil and are saved from being eaten by birds. Before the introduction of the seed drill, a common practice was to plant seeds by hand. Besides being wasteful, planting was very imprecise and led to a poor distribution of seeds, leading to low productivity. Jethro Tull is widely thought of as having invented the seed drill, though earlier the Sumerians used a single-tube seed drill, and the Chinese used a multi-tube seed drill.[1] The use of a seed drill can improve the ratio of crop yield (seeds harvested per seed planted) by as much as nine times. In short, the seed drill can be described as a modern agricultural implement used for sowing seeds.
