Germination Percentage
Germination percentage is a measure of how many seeds in a group successfully sprout and start growing into plants. It is calculated by dividing the number of seeds that germinate by the total number of seeds planted, then multiplying by 100 to get a percentage. For example, if 80 out of 100 seeds sprout, the germination percentage is 80%. This metric helps evaluate seed quality and viability, and can indicate how good the seed lot is for planting purposes. It is an important factor for farmers and gardeners to estimate future plant yield and ensure successful crop production.
