Dormancy due to their presence in deeper layer is called as? Correct Answer Enforced dormancy

The correct answer is Enforced dormancy.

  • Enforced dormancy is an inability to germinate due to an environmental restraint such as shortage of water, low temperature, poor aeration.
  • It occurs when the seed is simply being deprived of its requirements for germination.
  • It is due to the deep placement of seeds in the soil during ploughing of the field.
  • Enforced dormancy is a non-specific character of seed.
  • Cultivation encounters enforced dormancy by bringing the seeds to the surface where they are exposed to light besides better aeration.
  • High soil temperature and NO3 content of surface soil may further help in breaking seed dormancy.
