Seed dormancy in certain crop species is a desirable trait because it can prevent the preharvest sprouting and can also maintain the seed quality.

Dormancy may cause seeds of numerous species of wild plants to remain un germinated in the soil.

Seed dormancy is beneficial as the seed will not germinate under bad condition.

It also cause some delay in the germination of the seed until spring season.

Seed dormancy allows seeds to overcome periods that are unfavourable for seedling established and is therefore important for plant ecology and agriculture. Several processes are known to be involved in the induction of dormancy and in the switch from the dormant to the germinating state.
