    Rushikesh Dudhat: Seed Bomb

    Uploaded by

    Akanksha Gupta
    Seed bombs are small balls made of compost, clay, and seeds that can be launched over walls or into inaccessible areas to help plants grow. The compost provides nutrients for seeds to germinate while the clay binds the bomb and allows it to remain intact when thrown. Seed bombs are used for revegetation and reforestation projects, and some areas like Udaipur and Haryana have experimented with aerial seeding techniques using planes or drones to increase forest cover.

    ENV CURRENT

    SEED BOMB
    A seed bomb is a little ball generally made up of a
    combination of compost, clay and seeds.
    € The compost and clay act as a carrier for
    the seeds so they can be launched over
    walls or fences and into inaccessible areas
    such as wasteland or railways.
    € The compost offers nutrients for the seeds
    to germinate and grow strong during their
    infancy and the clay binds the seed bomb,
    making it hard enough not to break when it
    hits the ground.
    • It is used in revegetation and
    reforestation of the fragile
    ecosystems.
    • The plantation technique wherein
    seed balls are sprayed using aerial
    devices, including planes,
    helicopters or drones, is known as
    aerial seeding.
    Recent Initiatives:
    € Udaipur has been chosen for
    experimenting with the seed bombing
    technique to increase forest cover in
    Rajasthan.
    € The Haryana government has employed
    aerial seeding techniques to improve green
    cover in the Aravalli area of the State.
