The invention relates to the farming industry, and more particularly to the production of sown crops. Proposed are variants of a method for sowing seeds, inter alia in areas of risk farming on black soil, grey soil, brown forest soil and chestnut soil, in which, according to the invention, the mechanized direct sowing of crop seeds into soil is carried out during a period when the moisture content of the soil is more than 2% higher than the moisture content threshold for soil workability and the soil temperatures are above zero, wherein during sowing, seed furrows are formed having a maximum width of 12 cm, and the planting depth is selected between 0.5 and 15 cm. Furthermore, during sowing, a driving means is used which is capable of traveling at a speed of from 6 to 80 km/h over soil having a moisture content which is from 2 up to as much as 100% higher than the upper moisture content threshold for soil workability, such as a "Bars UTES 271" or an air-cushion vehicle, and direct sowing is carried out straight onto sprouting weeds with no preliminary cultivation operation being carried out to kill same； 1-5 days prior to the emergence of shoots, the soil is mulched by chemical treatment of the weeds with a non-selective herbicide using a sprayer mounted on a driving means which is capable of traveling at a speed of from 6 to 80 km/h over soil having a moisture content which is from 2 up to as much as 100% higher than the upper moisture content threshold for soil workability, such as a "Bars UTES 271" or an air-cushion vehicle.Изобретение относится к сельскохозяйственному производству, а именно к производству посевных сельскохозяйственных культур. Предложены варианты способа посева семян, в т.ч. в зонах рискованного земледелия на черноземных, серых, бурых лесных и каштановых почвах, в которых согласно изобретению механизированный прямой сев семян сельскохозяйственных культур в почву осуществляют в период, когда абсолютная влажность почвы более чем на 2% выше верхнег
