KIDS TRIVIA

Detailed explanation-1: -Planting seeds this way is called direct sowing, and it is an easy process that yields great results. Unlike indoor seed starting, direct sowing involves unpredictable elements: weather, wildlife and insects. Even so, many vegetables, annuals, herbs and perennials sprout easily from seed sown directly into garden soil.

Detailed explanation-2: -Direct seeding is the planting method that involves sowing seeds directly in the field or garden, while transplanting is the planting method that involves the planting of seedlings or whole plants in the field or garden. Thus, this is the key difference between direct seeding and transplanting.

Detailed explanation-3: -Some crop plants such as tomatoes, rice and onion are planted into seed beds called nurseries. These plants are allowed to develop into seedlings, which are then transplanted to the field. This allows farmers to select healthy seedlings; thereby, increasing crop production.
