Hybrid seeds are the result of carefully controlled crossbreeding between two distinct parent plants. These seeds are engineered to produce plants with desirable traits such as higher yields, resistance to diseases, and improved quality.

Germination is the process by which a seed develops into a new plant. This begins when the seed absorbs water, triggering metabolic activities inside the seed. The outer seed coat softens, and the embryonic root (radicle) breaks through first to anchor the plant, followed by the shoot, which grows toward the light.

Proper seed storage is key to maintaining seed viability for future planting seasons. Seeds should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and humidity. To ensure longer shelf life, keep seeds in airtight containers such as glass jars or sealed pouches.

Preparing the soil before planting seeds is crucial for giving them the best start. The soil should be well-drained, rich in nutrients, and loose enough to allow the roots to grow freely.
