Question

All of the following are the important influencing factors of germination except for:

• A. Water
• B. Oil
• C. Air
• D. Optimum temperature

Answer 1

The correct option is B Oil

The conditions suitable for germination are as follows:
1) Presence of adequate water.
2) Presence of air or oxygen.
3) An ideal temperature range (i.e., between 25 °C to 35 °C).
4) Presence of light.

Droplets or a layer of oil is not a suitable factor as it will block the entry of oxygen, and the seed will not be able to produce energy for germination.
