Yes. Often scarification increases the rate of germination than if no scarification where to take place.

Does the number of earthworms in soil affect the germination rate of radish seeds?
Im trying to figure out the exact samething for a science fair project. (x
What is plant scarification?
Any process of breaking, scratching, or altering the seed coat through chemical or thermal methods to make it permeable to water and gases is known as scarification. The seed coat can be weakened by knife (poking holes in it) or gently running sand paper on it in order to facilitate the controlled and uniform germination of seed lots. -Wikipedia

In this activity you are investigating both the effect of germination versus non germination and warm temperature versus cold temperature on respiration rate identify two hypotheses being tested?
The hypotheses being tested are the effect on the respiration rate. In this case the two are warm temperature vs. cold temperature & germinating vs. non germinating. (temperature & germination)
What is the name given when seeds produce tiny shoots and roots?
Germination.
Do sunflower seeds need scarification to germinate well?
No. The common sunflower does not require scarification; they have a sufficiently high germination rate without cracking the hull.
Will manipulating the seed affect its germination?
Without germination in the plant, the plant is not able to grow. The germination is the begining of life for the seed plant however the rate of germination is not directly related to rates of plant growth one can find speedy germinating seeds which grow slowly and vice versa.zaf.
What is the effect of scarification on jute mallow seeds?
it speeds up water uptake and reduces germination times
Does light affect germination rate?
Yes, light does affect germination rate. Because light can extend for a short distance into the soil, seeds that obtain light often germinate faster than those that do not.
Does scarification affect different seeds differently?
Yes. Different seeds need different types of scarification.
How does the concentration of chlorine in water affect the rate or percentage of seed germination what is the independent variale of that experiment?
Basically more chlorine=less germination
If you do not reject your null hypothesis what conclusion can be rejected?
Temperature does not affect seed germination rate.
Does the amount of water affect the germination of bean seeds?
If the amount of water is to great around the bean seed it will die and not be able to germinate.
Suppose you have experimented to test the effects of temperature on seed germination as outlined in the study guide If you do not reject your null hypothesis what conclusion can be reached?
temperature does not affect seed germination rate
Can you affect the germination rate of seeds by pre-rinsing them in a chemical before planting them?
yes, the process is usually called "priming"
Does temperature affect germination?
Yes, temperature can affect germination. Seeds have specific temperature ranges at which they germinate best, and extremes in temperature can inhibit or slow down the germination process. Most seeds germinate best within a specific temperature range, which can vary depending on the plant species.
Is a combination of germination percentage germination rate seed viability and strength shown by seedlings?
