    Image Credit: 123RF. Not all seeds sprout at the same rate. While environmental conditions may alter germination time (e.g., if the soil is too cold, tomato seeds may take longer to germinate ...

  3. Sowing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sowing

    In addition to the mentioned seed pretreatments, seed germination is also assisted when a disease-free soil is used. Especially when trying to germinate difficult seed (e.g. certain tropical fruit), prior treatment of the soil (along with the usage of the most suitable soil; e.g. potting soil, prepared soil or other substrates) is vital.

Germination is usually the growth of a plant contained within a seed resulting in the formation of the seedling.

  5. Plant propagation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_propagation

    Seeds and spores can be used for reproduction (e.g. sowing). Seeds are typically produced from sexual reproduction within a species because genetic recombination has occurred. A plant grown from seeds may have different characteristics from its parents. Some species produce seeds that require special conditions to germinate, such as cold treatment.

  6. Seed drill - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seed_drill

    Before the operation of a conventional seed drill, hard ground has to be plowed and harrowed to soften it enough to be able to get the seeds to the right depth and make a good "seedbed", providing the right mix of moisture, stability, space and air for seed germination and root development.

  7. Epigenetics of plant growth and development - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epigenetics_of_Plant...

    Germination is the early growth of a plant from a seed. Meanwhile, dormancy precedes germination and serves to preserve a seed until conditions are receptive towards growth. The transition from dormancy to germination seems to depend on the removal of factors inhibiting growth. There are many models for germination which may differ between species.

  8. Seedling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seedling

    In most seeds, for example the sunflower, the plumule is a small conical structure without any leaf structure. Growth of the plumule does not occur until the cotyledons have grown above ground. This is epigeal germination. However, in seeds such as the broad bean, a leaf structure is visible on the plumule in the seed. These seeds develop by ...

  9. Seed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seed

    Seed vigor is a measure of the quality of seed, and involves the viability of the seed, the germination percentage, germination rate, and the strength of the seedlings produced. [ 47 ] The germination percentage is simply the proportion of seeds that germinate from all seeds subject to the right conditions for growth.
