Question:medium
Given below are two statements:
Statement (I): Deeper sowing is advantageous in heavy soils whereas shallow sowing is recommended in light soils.
Statement (II): Seeds which germinate through epigeal germination should not be sown deep as it results in poor germination.
Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

Show Hint
Heavy soils: Deep sowing; Light soils: Shallow sowing; Epigeal seeds: Shallow to avoid germination failure.

- Both Statement (I) and Statement (II) are correct.
- Both Statement (I) and Statement (II) are incorrect.
- Statement (I) is correct but Statement (II) is incorrect.
- Statement (I) is incorrect but Statement (II) is correct.
Show Solution
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
Step 1: Test Statement I against the moisture-retention behaviour of heavy versus light soils - it holds true.
Step 2: Test Statement II against the limited food-reserve constraint of epigeal seedlings - it also holds true.
Step 3: Both statements pass their respective checks independently.
Step 4: Hence both Statement (I) and Statement (II) are correct (Option 1).
