d. None of the above
ANSWER: Sow seeds using helicopter
- Aerial seeding is a technique of sowing seeds using helicopters and aeroplanes to scatter them.
- Aerial reforestation was usually done to repopulate forest land after some type of disaster since the 1930s.
- A bigger quantity of seed had to be used in this technique because the success rate was comparatively less.
- Large wildfires can destroy large areas of plant life resulting in erosion hazards. Arial seeding may quickly and effectively reduce erosion hazards and suppress growth of invasive plant species.
- It can be used where terrain is extremely rocky or at high elevations or otherwise inaccessible.
- Efficient coverage of a large area in the least amount of time is achieved.
- The palletised seed’s (coated with clayey substance) coating would provide the seed protection and the substratum for germination initially.
