Question

Seed drill is used for sowing which crop?

• A. Wheat
• B. Maize
• C. Sugarcane
• D. Potato Correct Answer: (A) Wheat

Hint:

Golden Rule of Agricultural Machinery: Use a Seed Drill for continuous row crops with small seeds (like wheat and barley), and use a Planter for bold seeds that require precise seed-to-seed spacing (like maize and cotton).

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: What a seed drill does.
A seed drill drops seeds in neat continuous rows at an even depth and then covers them. It suits small seeds that grow close together.

Step 2: Match it to a crop.
Wheat has small seeds and grows in dense rows, so a seed drill fits it well. Maize needs a planter for wider spacing, sugarcane is planted by stem cuttings, and potato is planted by tubers.

Step 3: Choose the crop.
So the seed drill is used for wheat.
\[ \boxed{\text{Wheat}} \]
