1. give the two different ways of seed testing and discuss Indirect?

Cutting test. The simplest viability testing method is direct eye inspection of seeds which have been cut
open with a knife or scalpel. ...

Topographical tetrazolium test.when seeds have to be sown shortly after harvest. in seeds with deep
dormancy or showing slow germination. for the evaluation of fresh, ungerminated seeds at the end of a
germination test.

2. explain how can you select the good characteristic of seed planting?

If I select a good characteristic of seeds plants is we need a Good seed is pure (of the chosen variety),
full and uniform in size, viable (more than 80% germination with good seedling vigor), and free of weed
seeds, seed-borne diseases, pathogens, insects or other matter. Seed should be properly labeled.
Characteristics of good quality seed Higher genetically purity, Higher physical purity for certification,
Possession of good shape, size, colour, etc., according to specifications of variety, Higher physical
soundness and weight,Higher physiological vigour and stamina.

3. what is different vegetables production system?

The Vegetable Production System (Veggie) is a plant growth system developed and used by NASA in
outer space environments. The purpose of Veggie is to provide a self-sufficient and sustainable food
source for astronauts as well as a means of recreation and relaxation through therapeutic gardening.[2]
Veggie was designed in conjunction with ORBITEC and is currently being used aboard the International
Space Station, with another Veggie module planned to be delivered to the ISS in 2017.

4.what is purpose to stored the seed?

The Purpose of stored the Seeds must be stored in a way which maintains their viability for long periods.
Seeds left at ambient temperatures and relative humidities will lose their viability quickly whilst seeds
stored in conditions of low moisture content and temperature will retain their viability for longer
periods.

5.discuss the good characteristic of the soil for ideal specific types of crops?

Good quality soil is essential to the success of revegetation. ... In short, soil provides the necessary food,
water and oxygen that is needed by plants to support healthy growth and development of seeds, so it is
important to ensure that soil is of good quality.
The best soil for most plants to ensure optimum growth is a rich, sandy loam. This soil is an even mixture
of all three main types of soil. In most cases, you'll need to amend the soil with compost. Depending on
how compact the soil is, you may need to add peat moss and sand.

6. Discuss the importance and prospect of raising Farm animals?

Raising animals humanely can use less feed, fuel and water than intensive farming, reducing costs and
pollution. Humane farms can create jobs, boost profits and keep local food supplies healthy. By farming
crops and livestock, humane farms can reduce environmental damage – recycling nutrients and
improving the soil.

7. Discuss the different effect of climate soil, water and sunlight on the growth and development of
vegetables/plants?

Plants get energy from light through a process called photosynthesis. This is how light affects the growth
of a plant. Without light, a plant would not be able to produce the energy it needs to grow

Soil structure affects plant growth in many, often surprising, ways. The most obvious effects are on root
growth, which is strongly inhibited by hard soil, and which in turn influences the ability of the root
system to extract adequate water and nutrients from the soil.

Climate change affects the growth of plants in three ways. First, as CO2 levels increase, plants need less
water to do photosynthesis. ... But a second effect counters that: A warming world means longer and
warmer growing seasons, which gives plants more time to grow and consume water, drying the land.

At the same time, extreme temperatures, a decrease in water availability and changes to soil conditions
will actually make it more difficult for plants to thrive. Overall, climate change is expected to stunt plant
growth.

If a plant's soil has too much water, the roots can rot, and the plant can't get enough oxygen from the
soil. ... If there is not enough water for a plant, the nutrients it needs cannot travel through the plant.
