What was the germination rate?

Correct Answer

The germination percentage is calculated using the formula: Germination percentage = (Number of seeds germinated ÷ Total number of seeds placed/sown) × 100. For example, if 85 seeds germinated out of 100, the germination rate is 85%.

Explanation

The chapter provides the formula for calculating germination percentage: Germination percentage = (Number of seeds germinated / Total number of seeds placed or sown) × 100. This helps estimate how many seeds need to be planted to get the required yield.

Solution Steps

  1. Step 1: Count the number of seeds germinated after 3-5 days

  2. Step 2: Note the total number of seeds placed (100)

  3. Step 3: Apply the formula: Germination percentage = (Number of seeds germinated ÷ Total number of seeds placed) × 100

  4. Step 4: Calculate the final percentage
