The formula to calculate the Germination Rate is:
\[ GERM = \frac{HS}{S} \times 100 \]
Where:
Let's say the number of healthy seedlings (HS) is 80 and the number of seeds (S) is 100. The germination rate would be calculated as follows:
\[ GERM = \frac{80}{100} \times 100 = 80 \% \]
So, the germination rate is 80%.
The germination rate is the percentage of seeds that successfully sprout into healthy seedlings. It is an important measure in agriculture and gardening to assess the viability and quality of seeds.
