In pulses, for the production of nucleus seed we require minimum of_________________?
Correct answer: A. 500 plant progenies
- A. 500 plant progenies
- B. 400 plant progenies
- C. 300 plant progenies
- D. 200 plant progenies
Explanation
Nucleus seed production in pulses requires at least 500 plant progenies so that superior, uniform plants can be selected and their progenies evaluated reliably. A larger progeny base improves the chance of retaining true varietal identity.
