Oka (1975) has suggested that me population size suitable for maintenance and seed production of a commercial crop of a self pollinated species should be________________?
Correct answer: C. 300 plants
- A. 100 plants
- B. 200 plants
- C. 300 plants
- D. 400 plantsDownload Nature Guides
Explanation
For maintaining a self-pollinated commercial variety, Oka suggested a population of about 300 plants for maintenance and seed production. Self-pollinated crops require less population size than cross-pollinated crops because genetic uniformity is more readily preserved.
