why is the depth at which seeds are planted important 07 e

Dear student,
Seeds should be sown at proper depth so that they can get air, water and later on sunlight for development. Also their roots may develop at proper depth to hold plant.
The depth at which seeds are planted plays an important role because in some plants such as corn the seeds should be planted deep about two inch from the surface because if these corn plants are not planted deep their root system will be formed near the surface of the earth and they cannot absorb adequate water and nutrients.
Hence this can lead to decrease in crop yield so some of the plants should be planted deep.
