correct ways of seed storage(a short answer for grade 8)
Answers
Answer:
Keep seeds out of direct sunlight in a cool spot that maintains a fairly consistent temperature. Consider a cold closet, a basement, or a room on the north side of your home that remains cool year round. Freezing isn't necessary for short-term storage, but you can refrigerate seeds, provided they are sufficiently dry.

Answer:
To store seeds, follow this simple procedure step-by-step:
Store only new, mature, healthy and well-dried seeds.
Keep them in dry and cool place to extend their viability.
Seeds easily re-absorb moisture. To maintain dryness, keep seeds in air-tight containers like tin cans or glass jars with tight fitting lids.
Put in some moisture absorbing material. Dry wood ash, dry charcoal, powdered milk, toasted (cooled) rice, or small pieces of newspaper are all good. The drying material should take up about one-fourth of the container space.
Label the containers with the type of seed, place, and date of collection.
If possible, include the initial percent viability of the seeds. To do this, plant some seed to see how many germinate. If 8 of 10 germinate, for example, percent viability is 80%. This information will help you to learn about how much each type of seed loses viability between collection and planting.
Protect seeds from insects and fungi. Before storing in containers, mix with dry ash, powdered seeds of black pepper or neem leaves. Or use extract of neem, peanut, castor bean, or cotton: 1 teaspoon oil/1 kg seed. Or use naphthalene balls: 1 or 2 pieces/10 kg seed.
Protect from rodents and birds during storage.
