Broadcast seeding

Broadcast seeding

In agriculture and gardening, broadcast seeding is a method of seeding that involves scattering seed, by hand or mechanically, over a relatively large area. This is in contrast to precision seeding, where seed is placed at a precise spacing and depth.

Broadcast seeding is of particular use in establishing dense plant spacing, as for cover crops and lawns. After broadcasting, seed is often lightly buried with some type of raking action.
