Abstract: The present invention relates to a manual compact seed sowing machine designed for uniform seed placement with minimum human effort. The machine comprises a ground wheel (100) provided with wheel spikes / soil-grip protrusions (101), a seed metering mechanism housing (102), a seed hopper (103), a second seed hopper (104), a carry / operation handle (105), and a seed delivery path / chute (106). The forward movement of the machine rotates the ground wheel (100), which drives the mechanical seed metering disc inside the seed metering mechanism housing (102). The disc picks up individual seeds from the seed hopper (103) and second seed hopper (104) and releases them through the seed delivery path / chute (106) into the furrow created by the opener. The covering mechanism closes the furrow after seed placement. The invention ensures uniform sowing without electrical power or fuel input and improves agricultural efficiency.
