You have mealy bugs worms in your bird seed If you put a moth ball in with the seed storage container will it kill the mealy bugs and not harm the bird when you feed him the seed I will removthe ball?
I have no idea what mealy bug worms are but old-fashioned mothballs are not recommended - the ones made from naphthalene. But you can use one of the fly/moth killer strips that are impregnated with dichlovos if you are in the US. (They are illegal in the EU). I have also used pyrethrum powder or even malathion powder placed under some newspaper that you then stand the seed on.

What causes the seed coat to crack open allowing a new plant to grow?
water pressure inside the seed coat
What happen to the seed coat when the seed begin to sprout?
When a seed begins to sprout, the seed coat softens and may eventually crack open to allow the new plant to emerge. This process is triggered by factors like moisture and warmth, which signal the seed to start germinating. The seed coat serves as protection for the seed and becomes unnecessary once germination starts.
The tough outer layer of a seed is called the?
the seed coat
What allow water to enter the seed?
Water enters the seed through a process called imbibition, where the seed absorbs water through its seed coat. This triggers metabolic processes in the seed that allow it to germinate and start growing. The water penetrates the seed through small pores or cracks in the seed coat.
A parrots role?
To spread seeds. They crack open seed pods and fruit, and some plants cannot germinate until they have been through a bird's digestive system and deposited in their faeces.

What does the seed coat do?
The seed coat is important to the seed. The seed coat protects the seed from animals, wind, ice, rain and snow.
What softens the seed coat and makes the seeds swell?
Seed scarification is a process that softens the seed coat, allowing for water uptake and subsequent swelling of the seed. This can be achieved naturally through factors like weathering or artificially through physical or chemical treatment methods.
What is the adaptive advantage to water uptake causing a seed coat to crack?
The cracking of the seed coat allows water to enter the seed more easily, promoting germination. This adaptation ensures that the seed can absorb the necessary moisture for growth and development, increasing the chances of successful germination and seedling establishment in a variety of environments.
Why does a seed need seed coat?

What is the function of a seed coat and the cotyledons?
