What is a seed ball?
Advertisements
उत्तर
A seed ball is an ancient Japanese technique of encasing seeds in a mixture of clay and soil humus (also in cow dung) and scattering them onto suitable ground, not planting trees manually. This method is suitable for barren and degraded lands for tree regeneration and vegetation before the monsoon period where the suitable dispersal agents become rare.
