Abstract
Seeds are the foundation of agricultural production. Whatever other production elements are present, they will not compensate for the poor production that occurs as a result of the use of inferior seeds, which surely leads to a drop in quantity and quality production. To restart the metabolic processes in the seeds that have been prepared for planting, the seed must be hydrated in order to encourage it to germinate, and it will only do so when the right moisture is available. Stimulating seed germination in a short period of time, fighting with the bush that grows alongside the crop, and lowering the amount of pesticides required in control. Therefore, conserving the environment from pollution and lowering agricultural production costs through the use of available technology with outstanding results, particularly for leguminous crops that suffer from the presence of hard seeds. Soaking technology minimizes seeding rates, reduces work and time, and provides a homogeneous field in growth and its reflection on the harvest at one time, as well as facilitating the harvest process. In comparison to other ways, this is the safest for increasing the output and quality of field crops.
