Factors
affecting seed germination (e.g. soil temperature, pH)

Introduction:
If you have
ever planted some seeds, you may have noticed that some
seeds do not germinate.
A good quality seed is the first step toward producing a
good crop. If the seed does not germinate, the cost of
seed and all related plantation and irrigation costs
will be a loss for the farmer. Scientists and farmers
continuously try to identify any possible factor that
may affect seed germination in order to have a higher
rate of germination. The rate of germination is
one of the key elements in determining the quality and
value of any seed. |

Project
description:
Select an environmental factor and study the effect of that
factor on seed germination. Environmental factors can be light,
UV radiation, temperature, pH, etc. Design and perform
experiments to study the effects of one factor on seed
germination with the scientific method. |
