Question

Write an activity to select the good seeds

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:

Clean seeds and disease- and infection-free are good and healthy seeds. These seeds will produce a significant amount of food grain.

Explanation:

• A farmer can produce a large output of food grains with the aid of high-quality seeds.

Selecting healthy seeds for planting activity:

1. If we are given seeds to choose from, we must place all of the seeds in a pail of water.

2. firmly stir

3. The majority of the seeds will sink to the bottom of the bucket, and only a few will float on the water.

The seeds that are floating, on the other hand, are light in weight because they will be partially eaten by pests or harmed by disease, making them hollow and light. so that they float on water.

• Genetic purity and disease- and infection-free seed quality are essential.
• These are the seeds that will be able to sprout under typical environmental conditions, producing a greater crop output of high-quality produce.

Hence, Healthy seeds are those that settle at the bottom of the bucket. In water, healthy seeds sink because they are heavy.
