| 摘要 |
A method of cultivating and sowing seed is described in which soil is broken up by pulling laterally spaced apart first tines (16) therethrough with the tines set to penetrate a depth which bears a fixed relationship to the depth at which the seed is to be sown, to create a corresponding plurality of shallow trenches of broken up soil, and at a distance behind and in line with each of the first tines (16), introducing seed to the rear of a second tine (14) via seed delivery means (12) associated therewith. The soil in the trenches is flattened by levelling means (22) aligned with and following the tines (14, 16). The second tines (14) can include lateral wings to break up and lift the soil to facilitate the deposition of seed at the bottom of each trench. Apparatus (20) for performing the method is described. |
