Overview
Hand sowing uses more seed than it should and still produces uneven stands, which shows up later as gaps and crowded patches. A push seeder fixes spacing at sowing time: interchangeable crop plates meter the seed, and a depth setting keeps placement consistent. For vegetables, groundnut and pulses grown on small plots, it is an inexpensive machine that pays back through saved seed and a more uniform crop.

Hand Push Seeder — frequently asked questions
- Does a hand push seeder really save seed?
- Yes. Because the plate meters seed at a set spacing instead of scattering it, sowing rates fall compared with broadcasting, and the crop stand is more even. The saving varies by crop and plate selection.
- Which crops can be sown with a push seeder?
- With the right seed plates, push seeders handle many vegetable seeds, groundnut, pulses and maize. Confirm plate availability for your specific crop with our team before buying.
