Download Solution PDFThe correct answer is Enforced dormancy.
- Enforced dormancy is an inability to germinate due to an environmental restraint such as shortage of water, low temperature, poor aeration.
- It occurs when the seed is simply being deprived of its requirements for germination.
- It is due to the deep placement of seeds in the soil during ploughing of the field.
- Enforced dormancy is a non-specific character of seed.
- Cultivation encounters enforced dormancy by bringing the seeds to the surface where they are exposed to light besides better aeration.
- High soil temperature and NO3 content of surface soil may further help in breaking seed dormancy.
