a seed needs sunlight and lots of water to grow
How long can a seed remain inactive in the soil?
depends on the specie, some seeds have to germinate within a few weeks or months or they will die; others can remain dormant for up to 20 years before conditions can be right and they will germinate. there was a instance a while back where a 2000 year old date seed that was found in an archaeological site was successfully germinated
Why is it necessary to sow seeds at appropriate depth?
1. If you plant a seed too deep, it will not get enough sunlight to germinate. If you plant a seed to shallow, it won't have enough soil cover to support the germinating top growth. The rule of thumb on planting seed is plant three times the depth of the size of the seed. If you have seeds that are very tiny, just the barest covering of soil is enough. For larger seeds, the depth varies with the size of the seed. 2. It is necessary to sow seeds at an appropriate depth because it ensures the proper and timely germination of the seed. The seed sown at more depth will not be able to germinate on time and the leafs will not appear on the surface on time. This is because it has to cross the layer of soil to come or appear on the surface. Similarly the seeds are not sown superficially on the ground because they can be eaten by the birds or can be easily carried away by wind.
What is ideal Soil temp for cucumber germination?
Cucumber seeds need temperatures of 60 °F to start the germination process. Under the correct conditions, it takes 3-6 days for the cucumber seed to germinate.
Will freezing grass seed before planting cause it to germinate quicker?
yes it will!!!! dont freeze if, place it in 4 degrees for a few days. its better for it. btw- there are many seeds which require ths treatment but others which are harmed by it, always check before you do it.

Why seed cannot germinate without water?
Water triggers the enzymatic activities in the seed. Therefore, in the absence of water seed will not germinate for want of enzymatic activities.
Distinguish between Seed doemancy and Quiescence?
seed dormancy is unability of seed to germinate due to chemical/anatomical features of seed while quiescence is failure of seed to germinate under unfavourable environment.
