Domaine(s)
  • Techniques de plantation
CONT

Obligatoire pour les cultures sarclées, le semis en lignes tend à se généraliser même pour les semis de prairies artificielles et temporaires. Les nombreux avantages qu'il offre: régularité de répartition et d'enfouissement, économie de semences, compensent très largement quelques inconvénients : frais d'amortissement du matériel, tassement du sol par les outils.

OBS

Le terme «semis en rayons» semble être utilisé en horticulture seulement.
