    We will determine the percentage germination of mongo seeds using the following steps: 1. Take 10 mongo seeds and place them in the plastic cup. Cover the seeds with a thin layer of cotton. 2. Wet the cotton with water until it is moist but not soaked. Cover the cup with a plastic cover with small holes. 3. Place the cup in a warm area away from direct sunlight and observe daily. Count the number of seeds that sprout. 4. Use the formula: Percentage Germination = (Number of Seeds Germinated/Total Number of Seeds Tested) x 100 5. Record your observations and percentage germination. This will help determine the viability of your mongo

    Determining the
    Percentage
    Germination of
    Seeds
    Seed Germination

    Germination is the development of the


    seed into a young plant or seedling.
    Seed stage- is a fertilized
    and ripened ovule which
    may develop into a plant
    by germination.
    Radicle stage –
    the first root of
    the seed will
    start to develop.
    Sprout stage- the
    embryo or seed
    will start to sprout
    the hypocotyl.
    Seedling stage-It is
    refers to the young
    plant when seeds
    germinate.
    Two types of Planting Seeds

    1. Direct Seeding- direct sowing of the seeds to the


    land.

    2. Indirect Seeding- you need to produce the seedling


    then transplant the seedling.
    Determining the Percentage
    Germination of Seeds

    Germination percentage- is an
    estimate of the viability of a
    population of seeds.
    Rule #1: If you test 100 seeds, the number of seeds
    germinated equals the percentage germination of the
    seeds.

     FORMULA:
    Percent of Germination = No. of Seeds Germinated
    X 100
    No. of Seeds Tested

    Percent of germination= No. of seeds germinated


    Sample Problem:

    Mr. Y tested 100 seeds of eggplant using


    the rag doll method, 85 seeds germinated.
    Now, what will be the percent of
    germination of the seeds?
    The grade 11 students tested 100
    seeds of mongo using the seed trays
    method, 93 seeds germinated. What is
    the percent of germination of the
    seeds?
    Rule 2. If you test less than or more than 100 seeds use
    the formula below in computing the percentage
    germination of the seeds.

    Formula:
    PG = No. of Seeds Germinated
    X 100
    No. of Seeds Tested
    Sample Problem:

    Mr. X tested 125 seeds of hybrid


    tomato and 105 germinated. What is
    the percentage germination of the
    tomato seeds?
    Mr. X tested 98 seeds of hybrid corn
    and 93 germinated. What is the
    percentage germination of the
    tomato seeds?
    Rule #3. If you found out that the percentage
    germination of your seeds is below 80, you need to adjust
    your seed bulk. Use the formula below in adjusting the
    seed bulk.

    Adjusted amount of seed = amount of seeds needed


    X 100
    % ger min ation
    Sample Problem:

    You needed 200 seedlings to plant your


    garden. You found out that your seeds
    have only 75 % germination. How many
    seeds will you sow?
    The Agri-crop students needed 546 seedlings
    to plant your garden. You found out that
    your seeds have only 65 % germination. How
    many seeds will you sow?
    “We can't become what we need
    to be by remaining what we are.”

    - Oprah Winfrey
    Activity:
    1. Mr. Cruz tested 155 seeds of tomato which he took from the school
    seed bank. He found out that only 125 seeds germinated. What is
    the percentage germination of the tomato seeds?
    2. Ms. Perez needed 405 seedlings to plant your garden. You found
    out that your seeds have only 60 % germination. How many seeds
    will you sow?
    3. Mr. Pineda tested 100 seeds of red pepper using the petri dishes
    method,92 seeds germinated. What is the percent of germination
    of the seeds?
