How do you measure seed germination rate?
EquipmentTo conduct this test you will need the following:· Waterproof tray. A flat-sided water bottle cut in half lengthwise makes a good tray.· Water absorbent material. Tissues or cotton wool are ideal.· Seeds.· Water supply.Procedure· Place water absorbent material inside the waterproof tray· Take random sample from each seed lot and mix in a container· Take at least three seed samples from the mixed grain· Count out 100 seeds from each sample and place on absorbent material inside the tray· Carefully saturate the absorbent material· For each of ten [10] days check that absorbent material remains moist and record the number of germinated seeds· Compute germination test for five [5] days and for ten [10] daysThe rate of germination is an indicator of vigor. Rapid seed germination increases the chance that seed will establish in the field.Calculating the germination rateGermination rate is the average number of seeds that germinate over the five and ten day periods.Germination (%) = Number of seeds germinated x 100Number of seeds on trayFor example, If 86 seeds germinated in a tray of 100 seeds after 10 days, thenFor more information contact Agricultural Engineering UnitIRRI, DAPO Box 7777, Metro Manila, PhilippinesTel.: (63-2) 580-5600, Fax.: (63-2) 580-5699Email: M.Gummert@cgiar.orgJ.Rickman@cgiar.orgIRRI International Rice Research Institute10-day germination (%) = 86 x 100 = 86%100
What is the average number in seeds?
The average number can be anything but the only thing that can be the answer depends on the number of seeds.
What is the formula for calculating the seed rate?
number of seeds that terminateur divided by the total number of seeds mutiply by 100%
How many corn seeds are on a cob?

What percentage do number 1 seeds make final four?
From 1979 - 2010, 54 no 1 seeds have made the final four. That's 42.2%
How do you compute the result of germination?
Calculate the germination rate for each kind of seed your group planted in the terrarium. For each kind of seed: 1 Record the number of seeds you planted. 2 Record the number of seeds that germinated. 3 Write a fraction that compares the number of seeds that germinated to the number of seeds that were planted. 4 Change each fraction to a fraction that has a denominator of 100. 5 Show each fraction as a percentage. For example, if you planted 50 radish seeds and 35 seeds germinated, you would write 35/50 = 70/100 = 70%. The germination rate is 70%.

How many petunia seeds do you put in a hole?
The general rule for planting seeds is to put three seeds in the hole, and then prick out the weakest ones, once they have germinated.
Can you germinate soup pea seeds indoors?
Yes soup pea seeds can be germinated indoors. If we provide the required parameters for seed germination to the viable seeds.
What seed makes cotton?
Cotton comes from cotton plants that grow from germinated cotton seeds.
Why do germinated seeds produce carbon dioxide?
Because dry seeds have a very low metabolic rate and do not produce much Co2. Germinating seeds produce more Co2.
What are the shoot parts of Germinated Seeds?
The primary Parts; of which there are two - the Root shoot and the Sky shoot. Edited answer: The germinated seed has a radicle and a plumule. The portion above cotyledones in plumule forms the shoot.
Why do we loosen the soil in planting the seeds?
It makes it easier for the germinated seed to spread its roots out and establish itself.
