germination rates
Seed success statistics
Germination rates measure what proportion of seeds successfully sprout under given conditions, expressed as a percentage: The germination rate for these tomato seeds is 85%.
Seed packets often list expected rates.
Factors like temperature, moisture, and seed age affect the number.
Farmers and gardeners use germination rates to calculate how many seeds to plant.
