Modern sowing methods are much more efficient than primitive hand sowing.

Modern agriculture refers to agricultural production methods that improve agricultural efficiency, increase agricultural output, improve agricultural quality, protect the environment, and increase farmers' income with the support of modern technology.

Modern agriculture is mainly manifested in the following aspects:

1. Science and technology support

Modern agriculture relies on advanced scientific and technological means, such as gene editing, drones, remote sensing, big data, cloud computing, etc., to realize digitalization, intelligence, automation, and refinement of agricultural production.

2. Management mode

Modern agriculture adopts modern management modes, such as scientific planning, standardized production, fine management, and quality control, which improve the efficiency and quality of agricultural production.

3. Business model

Modern agriculture adopts modern business models, such as industrial chain collaboration, branded operation, digital marketing, etc., which promote the development of the agricultural industry and increase farmers' income.

4. Production methods

Modern agriculture is no longer characterized by large-scale, high input, high energy consumption, and high emission of traditional agriculture.

Rather, it aims at green, ecological, recycling, and low-carbon production methods to achieve sustainable development of agricultural production.

Modern agriculture usually uses mechanized methods for sowing seeds. Specifically, planters or seeders are often used to complete the process.

These machines can precisely place seeds on the land and control the amount and spacing of seeds as needed. This method is more efficient than traditional hand seeding and allows for faster planting.

In addition, modern agriculture uses advanced seed technology to select seeds that are suitable for local climate and soil conditions to improve crop yields and quality.

Agricultural mechanization is the most direct means to comprehensively improve farming efficiency and enhance the quality of agricultural products.

Agricultural machinery includes agricultural power machinery, farmland construction machinery, soil tillage machinery, planting and fertilizing machinery, plant protection machinery, farmland drainage and irrigation machinery, crop harvesting machinery, agricultural products processing machinery, animal husbandry machinery, etc.

It is understood that the fastest sowing speed of an automatic seeding machine can reach 800 discs/hour, according to the calculation of 25 discs per mu with seeds, the completion of 1 mu of seeding volume takes only about two minutes.

Compared with manual sowing, mechanical sowing seedlings are more neat and consistent, have better growth, and are more suitable for mechanical transplanting.

Broadly speaking, agricultural machinery also includes forestry machinery, fishery machinery, and rural side industry machinery such as sericulture, beekeeping, and edible fungus cultivation.

It is with these machines, making modern agricultural production works much more efficiently, allowing farmers to save effort and improve income.

Modern agriculture still needs to continue to explore and innovate and continue to improve the level of science and technology production and other aspects to achieve high quality, high efficiency, and sustainable development of agriculture.
