: as it refers to bacteria "seeding" is better as "sowing" refers to seeds, not bacteria

Date of Plating
The act of applying a microbiological sample and it's subsequent spreading on a culture medium in a Petri dish is known as "plating out". If there is an indication in your text that plates are used for culture, then my option is valid. If not, Sue's "inoculation" is a great option.
Good luck
