QUESTION TWO.
Farming Methods.
In the planting of wheat if large scale machinery such as combine harvesters, grain trucks,
tractors, cultivation equipment, chaser bins, and seeder drills are required for adequate
production
In wheat planting, they are different methods that are applicable and can ensure quality
yields. The various ways are outlined below.
i) Dibbling- This method is useful when a farmer has fewer seeds. The event of sowing by a
farmer is usually done with the help of an implement known as dibbler. The method is time-
consuming, so it is not commonly used.
ii) Broadcasting-In, this type of method, as its name, suggests the seeds be planted are
broadcast and then covered by the technique of harrowing. This method should not be
encouraged since the germination of seeds is always weak, and a lot of wastage is incurred.
iii) Zero tillage technique-This method is ever used in sowing of seed in cases where planting
has been delayed to 25th November. Delay in plantation can occur due to the following
reasons uncertain rainfall, preparation of field and harvesting of rice using old ways.
iv) Drilling- In, this method plantation of wheat seeds, is done by seed drills which ensure
seeds achieve admirable depths hence uniformity in growth, germination and productive
during the event of applying manure.
v) Behind Local plough-This is the commonly used method among farmers; it involves the
act of dropping seeds into holes by hands. Germination that occurs on plants utilising this
method is always satisfactory.
Method Chosen.
In this case, I am going to choose the behind local plough method because of the following
characteristics.
Characteristics of the Method.
i) Behind local plough is a cheap method to use in the planting of wheat.
