Sowing is the process of placing seeds or seedlings into the soil to grow crops. For roots and tubers, high-quality seeds or cuttings are essential. Mechanical equipment like seed drills is often used to ensure uniform distribution. In some cases, crops such as ginger and yuca are propagated using cuttings rather than seeds, which are planted directly into the field. Proper sowing techniques, including spacing and soil preparation, are critical for maximizing yield and ensuring healthy plant development.
