Answer 2

True or False

Explanation:

1. Consider the price of fruits on the market before selling - True

• As per the government advice, wholesale market will communicate to the farmer's committee. Based on this, vegetable prices are set in consultation with the farmer's committee before selling the fruits on the market

2. In marketing fruits and seedlings, the distance of the farm to the market must be  considered too - True

• In marketing fruits and seedlings, the distance of the farm to the market is considered. While transporting the fruits and seeds at a longer distance to the market usually transportation cost increases.
• It will not be cost-effective for both farmers and market functionaries. So, the distance from the farm to the market should be shorter.

3. Proper storage of harvested fruits and seedlings is not important - False

• Fresh fruit and seeds are stored to maintain product integrity, prevent spoilage and illness, and ensure safe food for consumption.

4.Fruits should be harvested carefully - True

• While  harvesting fruits bruising is the common type of mechanical damage so it should be harvested carefully.

5. After harvesting, store fruits in a moist, damp place - True

• To maximize storage life and marketable quality of fruits after harvesting, fruits must be stored in proper temperature and relative humidity.

6.The longer the storage time, the higher is the risk of the fruits to deteriorate - True

• A major concern with ripened fruit is that it does not last very long before it begins to spoil. The loss of firmness and the formation of sugars caused by ripening can also make the fruit susceptible to bacteria and rot.
• Fruits ripen due to a hormone called ethylene, which can be blocked with synthetic compounds like 1-methyl cyclo-propene (1-MCP).

7. Poor quality seedlings are always marketable - False

• Seeds of low quality have low vigor, poor growth, and are prone to weeds, insects, and diseases. So, It cannot sold in market.

• Good seed quality has high viability, high germination rates, and varietal purity, free of insects, disease, and weed seeds. Seed processing is required to ensure varietal purity.

8. We can harvest fruits even if they are not matured enough - False

• At harvest, fruit maturity is crucial to determine storage life and final fruit quality. Immature fruits are more susceptible to shriveling and mechanical damage and have less desirable flavor quality.

9. You should sell fruits only when they are ripe - True

• As bananas ripen, they become sweeter, and there is also a decrease in acidity and an absence of bitter plant substances, such as alkaloids.
• Furthermore, as fruits ripen, they produce compounds and are released into the air, giving them a pleasant aroma. So, consumers buy the ripened fruits.

10. Cuts and cruises on fruits can easily cause rotting - True

Cuts and bruises of fruits can easily cause rotting due to the growth of microorganisms on the bruised part of fruit.
