    Delinting in cotton seed is required for:

    A Proper distribution of seed Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Improving viability Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Enhancing germination Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Establishing seedlings better Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The delinting process is required because a cotton seed separated in the ginning process typically has a residual covering of cotton, i.e., lint, attached to a hull of the cotton seed. This lint interferes with subsequent handling, processing, grading, and growing of the cotton seed.
