What is the reason for sowing winter varieties of rye in autumn?
1. | It will provide ambient temperature for the growth and development of plants. |
2. | It will induce flowering in one season and death in the second season. |
3. | It will induce seed dormancy due to endogenous control. |
4. | It will increase the photoperiod requirement of rye flowers. |
