FARM QUERIES

Thrissur, Kerala

Seed virility is important for good germination and yield. Only good quality seeds germinate well and grow into healthy plants. Before buying a large amount of seed for sowing, it is better to check the germinating nature of the seeds by taking a handful of them (say about 100 seeds) and sowing it on a small wet patch of soil. Sprinkle water over it. After a week check the germinated seedlings. If more than 90 seeds have sprouted then the seed quality is good.
