Spanish term

siembra a cola de buey

Spanish to English Other Agriculture
Con la siembra a cola de buey la planta utiliza mejor el abono porque este va localizado junto a la semilla.

La tecnología de siembra en líneas a cola de buey, consiste en abrir el surco o línea de siembra con el arado de palo, jalado por la yunta, seguido de la distribución de la semilla a “chorro continuo”.

Attempt:
Row sowing/line sowing

Thank you.

seed sow covered by horse plowing next row "Después que se ha colocado la** semilla, la yunta con
el arado, regresa tapándola y abriendo **el siguiente
surco de siembra.*** La distancia entre líneas de
siembra debe ser entre 25 a 30 cm, pero no mayor
que 30 cm, porque se tendría una escasa población
de plantas. Por ello, en terrenos de ladera, será
conveniente calibrar el arado para hacer los surcos
lo más cerca posible unos de otros."cut/paste fromhttps://www.inia.gob.pe/wp-content/uploads/investigacion/pro...

furrow Looking at a source on line, it is literally about following an ox-drawn plough. The most neutral term might be 'furrow sowing' which does not address the technology but gets the seed to the same place - the bottom of the furrow:

Glad to have been of help!
Peer comment(s):
agree Muriel Vasconcellos : Yes, but consider simply "sowing with an oxen-drawn ridger." I think furrowing would be understood in this context.

Many thanks, Muriel, much appreciated indeed! Also your peer comment as furrowing is implicit in this context.
