overseeding
Adding seed atop
Overseeding is planting grass seed directly into an existing lawn without tearing up the turf.
The technique fills in thin or bare patches and can introduce hardier grass varieties: We overseeded the lawn in fall to thicken it up before winter.
In agriculture, overseeding may refer to planting cover crops into standing grain.
