Good seed selection

In this Class 9 Agriculture topic from the chapter “Seed Selection and Sowing,” students learn how to identify and choose good-quality seeds for cultivation. They explore key features such as varietal purity, soundness, proper maturity, high germination capacity, freedom from pests and diseases, and suitability to local growing conditions. The topic also explains why careful seed selection supports uniform crop growth, healthy plants, efficient sowing, and better yield, while introducing simple checks that help distinguish viable seeds from damaged or poor-quality ones.
