Agronomy QUESTION #2019
Question 1
Seed certification ensures that:
  • Seeds are chemically treated with fungicides before packaging
  • Varieties maintain their genetic identity, physical purity, and germination standards through a regulated multiplication chain✔️
  • Seeds are produced exclusively on government farms
  • All certified seeds are hybrid and thus superior to open-pollinated varieties
Correct Answer Explanation
Seed certification is a quality assurance system that verifies genetic purity (true-to-type), physical purity, germination percentage, moisture content, and freedom from seed-borne diseases. It governs the multiplication chain: Breeder → Foundation → Registered → Certified seed.
