Viability period of Neem (Azadirachta indica) seed is

  • A.up to two weeks
  • B.up to three months
  • C.up to four months
  • D.up to one year

Answer: A

Neem seed stays viable up to two weeks or so.

Neem seed is recalcitrant: it cannot be dried and stored like ordinary seeds, and it loses viability quickly after the fruit falls, typically within two to three weeks under ordinary conditions. Nurseries therefore sow fresh seed as soon as possible after collection.

Periods of three or four months or a year are typical of orthodox seeds and would greatly overstate how long neem seed lasts.
