# The Analysis of the Applications of Crop Seed Tape Sowing Technology and Equipment: A Review
## 3 Research on Key Technology and Equipment for Seed Tape Manufacture  
The process of making a seed tape usually involves placing seeds into the seed tape material with a metering device. Therefore, the process of making seed tape involves two areas of technology. One is the material for seed tape and the other one is the process of seed tape production.
