Percent Germination Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate percent germination is:

\[ \text{PG} = \left( \frac{\text{SG}}{\text{TS}} \right) \times 100 \]

Where:

(PG) is the Percent Germination (%)
(SG) is the seeds germinated
(TS) is the total seeds planted

What is Percent Germination?

Percent germination is a measure of the success rate of seed germination. It indicates the percentage of seeds that successfully germinate out of the total seeds planted. This metric is useful for gardeners, farmers, and researchers to assess the viability and quality of seeds.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Seeds Germinated = 80
Total Seeds Planted = 100

Using the formula:

\[ \text{PG} = \left( \frac{80}{100} \right) \times 100 = 80 \]

The percent germination is 80%.
