How can one sow crops in excessively moist soil conditions?
After harvest of rice, at times soils remain excessively wet. Low evaporation demands and over night dew often do not facilitate soils to attain workable moisture conditions soon enough particularly in winter season. Under such situations as to avoid “rice fallows” it is good option to go for surface seeding. In this planting practice seed is tossed directly on to wet soil surface in presence of crop residues. Using a drum seeder, crops can be surface seeded in rows.
