Plant Nutrients

Science > Biology > Management of Crop Production > Plant Nutrients Green plants are autotrophic. They require inorganic matter from outside and synthesize their own organic matter. Plant nutrients are mineral elements need by the plants for their growth, development, and maintenance. Soil is a major source of plant nutrients needed by plants for growth. […]

No Comments on Step – 2: Selection and Testing of Superior Recombinants

Science > Biology > Improvement in Crop variety > Selection and Testing of Superior Recombinants The selection and testing of superior recombinants involve picking up the better ones from the entire crop plants. The collected germ-plasm is now evaluated to identify the plants showing the desirable combination of characters. Selfing the selected plant for several […]

Seed Dormancy

Science > Biology > Management of Crop Production > Seed Dormancy Seed dormancy is the innate inhibition of germination of a viable seed even placed in the most favourable environment for germination. seed dormancy is also called the rest of the seed. Generally, Seeds are dormant once they leave their parent. It enables the embryo to […]
