    Hand-pushed broadcast spreader. A broadcast seeder, alternately called a broadcaster, broadcast spreader or centrifugal fertilizer spreader (Europe) or "spinner" (UK), is a farm implement commonly used for spreading seed where no row planting is required (mostly for lawns and meadows: grass seeds or wildflower mixes), lime, fertilizer, sand, ice melt, etc., and is an alternative to drop ...

  9. Precision seeding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precision_seeding

    In agriculture, precision seeding is a method of seeding that involves placing seed at a precise spacing and depth. This is in contrast to broadcast seeding, where seed is scattered over an area. [1] [2] Although precise hand placement would qualify, precision seeding usually refers to a mechanical process.
