Question

Choose the correct options for physical characteristics to be observed while selecting good quality seeds.

• A. Cleanliness of seeds.
• B. Colour of seeds.
• C. Genetic purity.
• D. Germination capacity.

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B)

The correct options are
A

Cleanliness of seeds.

B

Colour of seeds.

Seed shape, size, colour, cleanliness, disease condition are few of the physical characteristics that are considered during the selection of good quality seeds.

1. Cleanliness of seeds should be checked.

2. Diseased seeds and insect damaged seeds should be avoided.

3. Shrivelled and empty seeds are to be avoided.

4. Fungal infected or discoloured seeds should not be chosen.

Genetic purity and germination capacity are important quality parameters but they are not physical characteristics.
