What is the second step after the selection of seeds in the process of sowing?

Sowing is the process of planting seeds in the soil in order to grow crops. This includes preparing the soil, selecting the appropriate seeds, and planting the seeds at the proper depth and spacing with tools. 

Soil preparation is usually the second step after seed selection in the sowing process. This includes tilling the soil, removing weeds and debris, and preparing it for planting. Typically, the soil is worked to create a fine seedbed in which the seeds will be planted. This step is critical to ensure that the seeds have the best possible chance of germinating and growing into healthy crops.
