Answer: Option A

Solution

Answer: Option A
Solution:
The seed replacement ratio of Pearl millet is 1 : 200.
It is a measure of how much of the total cropped area was sown with certified seeds in comparison to farm-saved seeds.
In other words, it is the percentage of area sown out of the total area of the crop planted in the season by using certified/quality seeds other than the farm-saved seed. In simple terms, it is a measure of the cropped area covered with quality seed.
