Agricultural Seed
Garicutturally, a seed may be defined as any part of
the plant either vegetative or reproductive which is
Sapable of producing a new plant of the same kind.
Example, potato tuber, vines of sweet potato, roots
of sweet potato, sugarcane setts,etc (Vegetative
organs) wheat, enti, pea, groundnut. ete.
(reproductive organs),6) Seed is the vehicle for perpetuation
{Preserve from extinction) / seed is the
vehicle of life or means of propagation
7) Seed protects and sustains life
8) Seeds are the carriers of aid friendship and
‘goodwill
9) Seed is wealth! Seeds act as a national
‘treasury
40) Seas are the source of oil supply
Importance of seeds
1)Seeds are the ba:
production
commodity in crop
2)Seed is the tool for crop improvement
3)Seeds are food for man and animal
4)Seeds are material for industry
5) Seeds are used for medicinal purpose
Classification of seeds:
Depending on the number of cotyledons
Monocotyledonous ~ the seeds which bear only
‘one cotyledon. E.g. rice, wheat, palm etc.
Dicotyledonous - seed with two cotyledons
soybean, gram, etc.
Polycotyledonous — seed with more than two
cotyledons such as pineFig: Seed wah one coedon (manacayeeoros seed)
Jing to the storage of food materials:
\“" > Exaibuminous or nonendospermic: where the food is
stored up in the cotyledon or cotyledons, as in the pea,
gram and other plants of family fabacese, tamarind,
‘mango, sunflower etc.

Viviparous germination seed
Plants produce seeds that germinate before they
detach from the parent. In many mangroves, for
instance, the seedling germinates and grows under
its own energy while still attached to its parent
before dropping into the water in order to transport

infomation forthe US. Denantnl of Astute ets
is variation in the ability of orthodox seeds to withstand
drying and storage with some seeds being more senelive
than’ others. Thus some seeds are considered
Intermediate in their storage capability whilé others are
fully orthodox. E.g- rice seeds, wheat seeds etc.
> Recalcitrant seeds (sometimes known ss unorthodox
Seeds) are seeds that do not survive drying and freezing
during ex-sily conservation. Example: avocado, mango,
