Explanation:
Seeds need moisture (water) and air for sprouting. If the seeds do not get the right amount of moisture and air they will not sprout at all. ... Birds and animals after eating the fruits throw away the seeds.
3.
the producer has to store the sacks of grain for some time before they are sold. During this period precautions have to be taken to ensure the safety of the grain and maintain its quality.
At the very least, the bagged grain must be kept off the ground to prevent spoilage by translocating water and/or termites. Low platforms, tarpaulins or plastic sheeting may serve this purpose; but if there is a risk of damage by rodents or other animals, high platforms fitted with rodent barriers should be used. If there is a risk of rain during the temporary storage period the bags should be covered with waterproof sheeting ( but not all the time if the grain has a moisture content much in excess of 12%). Alternatively, the sacks of grain should be stacked on dunnage or waterproof sheeting, away from walls, in a rodentproofed barn......
