AERIAL AND DART SEEDING

Aerial seeding:

• Procedure: is a well-established concept, but this is generally achieved not with darts but by spraying seeds through an aircraft or a drone.
  
  
• Application: Aerial seeding can be used not only to plant various crops but also to spread grasses to large areas of the land after wildfires.
  
  
• Benefits: Aerial seeding is adopted because it is quicker and more effective than planting manually. It also allows access to areas where the terrain is rocky or at high elevation.
  
  

Dart seeding:

• Procedure: Dart seeding is used with the same broad objective as aerial seeding: a plantation in inaccessible areas. The process involves throwing darts containing seeds onto open ground.
  
  
• Benefits: In aerial seeding, many seeds fail to germinate. If dart plantation is done from a low-flying helicopter, seeds have a relatively better chance of survival as they reach deeper into the ground.
