Broadcasting or drill sowing

Broadcasting or drill sowing: This method is in practice in Northern Districts of Karnataka State. This is not a good practice since the yields obtained in this method are comparatively low.
i) Broadcasting: After the land is ready incorporate the entire quantity of farmyard manure and fertilizers into the soil. Prepare small plots of 120x120cm (4x4ft) and broadcast seeds thinly. Thin out the seedlings after four weeks, retaining one seedling at 7.5cm apart.
ii) Drill sowing: After the land is ready apply the entire quantity of farmyard manure and fertilizers and mix them well in the soil. Drill the seeds cross-wise in both directions giving a spacing of 25 to 30cm.
