What is a direct mount?

Direct sowing of seeds directly into the field or plot where they will be grown. During the home gardening, direct sowing generally refers to seed sowing in prepared beds instead of planting seedlings. In commercial agriculture and extensive projections of afforestation and recovery, Direct Seeding refers to a sustainable approach to planting because it reduces the amount of cultivation, necessary machines and water.

Home gardeners and small farmers often buy seedlings or begin seedlings inside or in greenhouses. In most cases, growing seedlings are carried out to extend the season and reduce plant loss due to pests and sudden spring frosts. Planting of established seedlings also saves garden space, because germination is complete and young plants are able to withstand temperature and dry changes, so less areas are lost on dead plants.

Farmers and gardeners generally direct seed crops, such as corn, peas, potatoes and beans, because you do not take well transplantation. DogTitlers in warm climate can use direct sowing more often because there is less chance of hard frost in spring. Direct vaccination reduces the amount of interior space needed for seedlings, as well as the amount of work, water and soil needed to start plants from the seeds inside.

In commercial agriculture, direct sowing is used to save time, money, fuels and water. On the farm, direct sowing is most commonly used for growing hay and compound crops. In autumn or winter after the last harvest, the remaining plant matter is left in the soil that reduces the erosion and maintains moisture and nutrients in the soil. Leaving the soil UN-fade also helps maintain the integrity and health of soil and reduces weeds by giving them less space to grow.

In the spring, the seed is sowed by hand or by a machine on top of the plant material of the previous season. Fertilizer is often the application at the same time in bands near the series of seeds. Chopping is done with a minimum nSoil, because the beds are not ready for seeds and only a small area of ​​the soil where the seeds are placed.

Direct sowing is often more advantageous in the projects of afforestation and restoration because it eliminates the need for tree schools. Although the initial seed costs may be high, plants are often more successful because the soil is not too disturbed, which reduces the competition of weeds and plants are chosen for the strongest. Moreover, the roots of plants are not disturbed by transplanting, giving them deeper and stronger root systems before the start of hard weather.
