In recent years, with the continuous development of agricultural intelligence and precision farming, electrically driven seeding technology has gradually be-come an important method for modern crop planting. This paper, based on an extensive review of relevant literature, provides a detailed introduction to the basic principles and core components of electric-driven seeding, with a focus on analyzing the working mechanisms and technical characteristics of such sys-tems. Meanwhile, the study offers an in-depth review of the research status of electric-driven seeding both domestically and internationally, summarizing the progress and achievements of various countries in this field, particularly re-garding seeding accuracy, adaptability, and intelligent control innovations. Fi-nally, in view of the current technological development, the paper identifies the challenges faced by electric-driven seeding technology and proposes future de-velopment recommendations, envisioning its broad application prospects in future agriculture, especially in improving seeding efficiency, operational preci-sion, and intelligent management.
