Did you know that the planting depth is one of the major factors that influence seed germination???
#REMINDER: A seed contains the energy and nutrients needed to produce a seedling and sustaining it until it's able to make its own food through photosynthesis.

WHY IS SOWING TOO DEEP IS A PROBLEM?
When it's placed too deep while planting, it can use all the energy and nutrients and die even before the emergency of the shoot on the soil surface.

WHY IS SOWING TOO SHALLOW IS A PROBLEM?
When the seed is placed too near the soil surface, the upper soil layer can dry and lead to death of the seedlings due to high soil temperatures.

WHAT IS THE RIGHT PLANTING DEPTH?
For any given seed, plant it at a depth equal to two or three times its diameter. This is the optimum planting depth and it will guarantee high chances of seed germination.
#Equation:
Planting Depth = Diameter of the seed Γ 3.
