Correct option is A
The correct answer is: (A) 500-700 grams
Explanation:
For brinjal (Solanum melongena) cultivation, the seed rate required to transplant one hectare of land is approximately 500-700 grams.
Brinjal seeds are first raised in a nursery, and after 4-6 weeks, seedlings are transplanted into the main field.
Around 500-700 grams of seeds are sufficient to produce 35,000 to 40,000 healthy seedlings, which are needed for 1 hectare of land at a spacing of 60 × 60 cm (depending on the variety).
The seed rate depends on germination percentage, variety, and field conditions.
