WHAT DOES SOWING MACHINE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

sowing machine

Seed drill

A seed drill is a sowing device that precisely positions seeds in the soil and then covers them. Before the introduction of the seed drill, the 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 the Sumerians used a single-tube the Chinese were using a multi-tube seed drill. The use of a seed drill can improve the ratio of crop yield by as much as nine times.
