Explain four factors that influence the depth of planting crops

Factors influencing depth of planting.

  • Soil type – seeds emerge from greater depth in sandy soils that are light than in clay soils.
  • Soil moisture content: seeds are planted deeper in dry soils in order to place them in a zone with moist soil.
  • Size of seed: larger seeds are planted deeper in the soil since they have enough reserves to shoot and emerge through the soil.
  • Type of germination:  seeds with epigeal type of germination e.g. beans are planted shallower than those with hypogeal type of germination.
