Seeds of wheat, paddy and maize showed positive correlation germination (%) and viability (%) as determined by________________?

Correct answer: B. Tz test

  • A. Grow put test
  • B. Tz test
  • C. Test of genetic purity of seeds
  • D. Ageing test

Explanation

The tetrazolium (TZ) test stains living embryos, so stain intensity provides a rapid estimate of seed viability that generally correlates with germination percentage. A grow-out test measures field or seedling performance rather than viability directly.
