Chapter 25.4, Problem 2TYK
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The movement, transporting or spreading of seeds away from the plant is termed as the seed dispersal. Plants are least mobile in nature, so the only way by which they can reproduce is seed dispersal. Seed dispersal vectors can be abiotic vectors (wind), and biotic vectors (birds).

Free from visible seed-borne diseases
Full and uniform in size
At least 70 % germination rate
Drying and aging seeds is a way to enhance seed viability and germination and at the same time to control seed-borne plant pathogens. True or false
