Jethro Tull's seed drill, invented in the early 18th century, allowed farmers to plant seeds at a consistent depth and spacing, which significantly improved germination rates. By planting seeds in neat rows rather than broadcasting them randomly, the drill minimized seed wastage and ensured that each plant had adequate space and resources to grow. This innovation contributed to more efficient use of land and resources, ultimately leading to larger and more reliable crop yields. Additionally, the seed drill facilitated crop rotation and improved overall agricultural productivity during the Agricultural Revolution.
