Question

The process of putting seeds into the soil is called:
A) Sowing
B) Germination
C) Planting
D) All of the above

Answer 1

Hint: Germination refers to breakdown of seed into radical and plumule while planting refers to putting a plant in the soil. Germination refers to the mechanism by which a seed or spore creates a flesh. A sprouting seed to form a spring seedling and the development of a sporeling are the most common ways of germination.

Complete answer:
Sowing is a process by which the seed is put into the soil by creating proper soil density and adding manure.
This results in timely germination and growth of the seed.
Henceforth the crop grows efficiently, having proper space to grow without crowding and fighting for nutrients.
Agriculture is a multi step process. After crop selection and seed selection, land is prepared. Ploughing and levelling are the first steps and then the soil is manured uniformly.
Seed can either be sown by hand or machines like seed drills using a tractor.
They are placed at a certain distance from each other so that the crop doesn't compete for nutrients with another crop and each plant has enough space to grow properly.
The seeds kept at distance have been seen to grow with much nutritional fulfillment that is not found in the plants grown close to each other.

So, the correct answer is option (A) Sowing

Note:
By ploughing the soil, soil loosens and becomes aerated to make a perfect environment for the seeds and is leveled thereafter. Manuring adds important nutrients to the soil for the nutrition of the crop. Then the seed is put. The process of putting seeds into the soil is called sowing.
The five modifications or phases that take place during germination are: (1) Respiration
(2) Respiration
(3) The Light impact on seed germination
(4) Mobilisation of Reserves during seed germination and the position of Growth Regulators; (5) Embryo-Axis production into plants. Seed germination is mainly triggered by plant and fungal organisms.
