  2. Broadcast seeding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broadcast_seeding

    precision seeding, where seed is placed at a precise spacing and depth; hydroseeding, where a slurry of seed, mulch and water is sprayed over prepared ground in a uniform layer. Broadcast seeding is of particular use in establishing dense plant spacing, as for cover crops and lawns. In comparison to traditional drill planting, broadcast seeding ...

  3. Water softening - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_softening

    Physical water treatment (PWT) devices cause microscopic mineral crystals to form and remain suspended as they flow with the water, while also acting as seeds for further crystal growth. As water is heated, minerals will crystallize on these seeds, instead of the plumbing system. The dissolved minerals become insoluble solid particles in ...

  4. Sowing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sowing

    Sowing is the process of planting seeds. An area that has had seeds planted in it will be described as a sowed or sown area.

[1] In the entire state of Goa, the cashew crop spans approximately 55,302 hectares, yielding an estimated 27,070 tonnes annually. [2] Goa Kaju or Goa Caju are variations of the same name. [3] [4]

  6. Broadcast spreader - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broadcast_spreader

    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 ...

  7. Hydroseeding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydroseeding

    Hydroseeding (or hydraulic mulch seeding, hydro-mulching, hydraseeding) is a planting process that uses a slurry of seed and mulch. It is often used as an erosion control technique on construction sites, as an alternative to the traditional process of broadcasting or sowing dry seed. [1]

  8. Dealkalization of water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dealkalization_of_water

    Chloride cycle dealkalizers operate similar to sodium cycle cation water softeners. Like water softeners, dealkalizers contain ion-exchange resins that are regenerated with a concentrated salt solution - NaCl. In the case of a water softener, the cation exchange resin is exchanging sodium (the Na + ion of NaCl) for hardness minerals such as ...

  9. Planter (farm implement) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planter_(farm_implement)

    A planter is a farm implement, usually towed behind a tractor, that sows (plants) seeds in rows throughout a field. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] It is connected to the tractor with a drawbar or a three-point hitch . Planters lay the seeds down in precise manner along rows.
