The development of a seed into a new plant is known by this term.
Germination
A farmer places soil or growing media into a plastic bag before planting a seedling.
Bagging
This system creates a square grid in which plants are equally spaced in rows and columns.
Square System
A farmer calculates how many plants can be placed in one acre. What measurement is being determined?
Plant Population
Workers remove unwanted plants from around crops during this farm activity.
Weeding
Before evaluating seeds, they may be kept under specific conditions for a certain period to encourage development.
Incubation
A farmer fills a clay pot with growing media before placing a plant inside.
Potting
In this system, one plant is positioned in the center of a square formed by four other plants.
Quincunx System
This concept describes how closely plants are arranged within a specific area.
Density
Plants absorb water and nutrients from their environment through this process.
Uptake
A farmer wants a simple germination test using moist cloth or paper towels and a warm, dark location.
Ragdoll Method
This material provides support for plants while maintaining suitable pH and nutrient conditions.
Growing Media
This system is also called the equilateral triangle system.
Hexagonal System
A farmer wants each plant to have adequate room for growth and maintenance activities. What should be properly managed?
Spacing
Wind and water can carry soil away from a field through this process.
Erosion
This germination method uses moist filter paper or cotton placed inside a dish under controlled conditions.
Petri Dish Method
A nursery worker prepares a container filled with soil specifically for planting seeds.
Seed Bed
This system forms an array of triangles and is useful when compact and efficient space use is desired.
Triangular System
A field has very few plants, leaving much of the available land and resources unused. What condition exists?
Underutilization
A farmer needs to organize rows so that workers can easily reach crops during planting and harvesting.
Access
A seed sample contains unwanted materials that are unrelated to the desired seed. What are these materials called?
Extraneous Matter
A farmer wants to reduce pathogens and pests in soil without using the usual chemical treatment. The soil is covered or exposed to strong sunlight for a period.
Solarization
A farmer on hilly land arranges rows according to the natural shape and slope of the land.
Slope-Based Layout
A farmer places too many plants in a small area. What problem may occur?
Competition
A farmer installs drip lines directly along crop rows to distribute water efficiently.
