Answer 1

Good Quality seeds are clean and healthy seeds free from infection and diseases.

With the help of good quality seeds, farmer gets high yield of food grains.

Activity To select Healthy seed for sowing:

1. If we are given wheat seeds for selection, then we need to pour all seeds in a bucket containing water.

2. Stir well

3. Most of the seeds will settle down at the bottom of the bucket and we an see few seeds float on water

conclusion :

--> Seeds which sink at the bottom of the bucket are healthy. Healthy seeds are heavy so they sink in water

--->on the other hand, seeds which are floating are light in weight because they will be partially eaten by pests or damaged by disease hence they are light and hollow. and hence float on water.

Answer 2

Answer:

Good quality seeds basically mean the most competent seeds, which will definitely give rise to a healthy plant, which would bear more healthy seeds. This is important when you're dealing with plants at a large scale, and you need to maintain crops for a large​ time frame.

Best wheat seeds would be ones who's color, shape and size are normal (not brownish, oddly shaped, tiny or bloated). Apart from just the looks, seeds are also tested for their efficiency in germination (how many seeds from set of 100 would grow in plants when sowed).
