SEED HANDLING
VENUE: NURSERY PLOT
SUBMISSION DATE: 8 NOVEMBER 2023
Assalamualaikum and welcome to another blog for the fifth week.
Few days ago, I learned a lot of things during fieldwork period. Dr Zahid shared about Imam Syafie'. I jotted down quickly about it.
Next, we went to nursery plot to do seed handling. Before that we had planters talk about plant propagation.
PLANT PROPAGATION
Plant propagation is the process of increasing the number of plants of a particular species or cultivar. There are two primary forms of plant propagation: sexual and asexual. In nature, propagation of plants most often involves sexual reproduction, or the production of viable seeds.

- Seed treatment refers to the application of various substances to seeds before planting to protect them from diseases, pests, and environmental stressors. The choice of seed treatment depends on the specific needs of the crop and the prevailing environmental conditions. Farmers and growers often use a combination of these treatments to maximize the health and performance of their crops. There are several types of seed treatments, including:
- Chemical Seed Treatment
- Biological Seed Treatment
- Physical Seed Treatment
- Genetic Seed Treatment
- Nutritional Seed Treatment
While waiting..
