overseeding

This term is primarily used in horticulture and landscaping. It describes a specific maintenance technique where new seed is integrated into an established lawn to repair damage or enhance the grass density without the destructive process of complete renovation.

As a noun, it refers to the general practice or the specific event of applying seed. As a verb, it describes the active process of sowing. Because it is a technical term for a specific agricultural method, it is rarely used outside of gardening, farming, or turf management contexts.
