How is optimal humidity maintained?
Correct Answer
Optimal humidity is maintained by locating nurseries near water sources where humidity levels are naturally higher. Shade-nets help retain moisture. Growing media like cocopeat can hold moisture well. In dry conditions, water can be added to the air to increase humidity, similar to placing water bowls in rooms with heaters.

Explanation
The chapter explains that humidity affects plants during their growth stages. High water vapour in air makes weather humid, while lower amounts make air dry. More plants grow near water sources because they get optimum temperature, humidity, and moisture in the soil.
