Given below are two statements
Statement (I) : If self-pollinated seed crops are heavily lodged in one-third or more of the area during field inspection and
there is a chance for the crop to stand up before maturity, it should be recommended for rejection
Statement (II) : If the seed crop in cross-pollinated crops and hybrid seed fields is heavily lodged in one-third or more of the
area during field inspection, it should be recommended for rejection, regardless of whether the crop will recover and stand up
before maturity.
In light of the above statements choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.
EXPLANATION
Genetic Purity, Maintenance Breeding & Genera
- Statement (I) is False: In self-pollinated seed crops, if lodging occurs in more than one-third of the field area, the crop should NOT be rejected immediately if there is a clear opportunity for plants to stand up before maturity; field inspectors re-inspect the plot after recovery before issuing rejection.
- Statement (II) is True: In cross-pollinated crops and hybrid seed production fields, lodging of one-third or more of the seed plot severely impedes effective wind or insect pollen dispersal, breaks synchrony of nicking, and promotes contamination; hence, such severe lodging warrants immediate rejection regardless of whether vegetative recovery is possible.
- Conclusion: Statement (I) is false but Statement (II) is true (Option 4).
Correct option: (4) Statement (I) is false but Statement ({I) is true.
