Choosing the right seeds and employing effective sowing techniques are critical steps in successful farming. High-quality seeds ensure better germination, resistance to diseases, and higher yields. This guide will help you select the best seeds and sow them properly for optimal growth.
Step 1: Selecting the Right Seeds
The choice of seeds depends on factors like soil type, climate, and market demand. Follow these guidelines:
- Certified Seeds: Always opt for high-yield, disease-resistant, and certified seeds.
- Crop Compatibility: Choose seeds suited to your soil and climatic conditions.
- Organic vs. Hybrid: Organic seeds are best for natural farming, while hybrid seeds offer improved yields and disease resistance.

Step 2: Seed Treatment for Better Germination
Seed treatment enhances germination rates and protects crops from pests and diseases.
- Hot Water Treatment: Soaking seeds in warm water eliminates harmful pathogens.
- Organic Bio-Pesticide Treatment: Coat seeds with Krikso Bio-Pesticide to prevent fungal and bacterial infections.

Step 4: Sowing Methods
Different sowing techniques are used based on the crop type:
- Broadcasting: Seeds are scattered manually or using a spreader.
- Drilling: Seeds are sown at a uniform depth using a Seeder 3-in-1.
- Transplanting: Seedlings grown in nurseries are transferred to the main field.
- Dibbling: Seeds are placed in holes at equal distances for better growth.
Step 5: Proper Spacing and Depth
- Maintain appropriate spacing between rows and plants to prevent overcrowding.
- Sow seeds at the correct depth to ensure proper root development.
- Use Krikso Precision Seeder for accurate seed placement and efficient sowing.
Step 6: Post-Sowing Care
Once seeds are sown, ensure proper care for better growth.
