How do you record seed germination?
The equation to calculate germination percentage is: GP = seeds germinated/total seeds x 100 . The germination rate provides an measure of the time course of seed germination. Germination rate is determined by calculating the GP at different time intervals after planting and then plotting these data.
Why do seeds need darkness to germinate?
1073. Seeds will not germinate so well in light as in darkness ; because light decomposes the carbonic acid gas, expels the oxygen, and fixes the carbon; thus hardening all the parts of the seed, and preventing vegetation.

How do you record the growth of a plant?
To measure a plant’s growth rate, use a ruler or measuring tape to measure from the base of the plant to its highest point. If your plant is in a pot, start your measurement at the base of the pot. Write the measurement down, then repeat 2-3 days later.
What makes a seed germinate faster?
One easy way to make seeds germinate faster is to presoak them for 24 hours in a shallow container filled with hot tap water. Water will penetrate the seed coat and cause the embryos inside to plump up. Don’t soak them for longer than 24 hours because they could rot. Plant the seeds immediately in moist soil.
