Seed of various plants can be broadly divided into two groups. Those which germinate in autumn and winter, and those which germinate in spring and summer. Seed which normally germinates in spring and summer requires relatively warm germination temperatures (22 - 24 degrees Centigrade), while winter germinating seed requires temperatures between 18 and 20 degrees Centigrade. A number of seed types also have something called dormancy, this prevents seed which is dispersed at the end of the growing season from germinating immediately. For example, a plant flowers and produces seed in Summer. The seed is dispersed and drops to the ground. The seed may require a period of extreme cold or chilling before it will germinate. This prevents the seed from germinating and the the young plant being killed by low winter temperatures. The reverse is true of Winter seed.
Yes, acid rain does affect germination of seeds by mixing in with the soil and damaging the seed coating.
Sunlight signals for germination of cress seeds
yes
If the amount of water is to great around the bean seed it will die and not be able to germinate.
Water will typically start the germination process of seeds. This is because the water is needed to break down the protective shell on the seed.

Sprite, a carbonated beverage, contains sugar and citric acid which can potentially affect the germination of radish seeds. The sugar in Sprite may attract microorganisms that could harm the seeds, while the citric acid may alter the pH of the soil, impacting seed germination. It is recommended to use plain water for seed germination to avoid any potential negative effects from the additives in Sprite.
Mold can hinder the germination process of seeds by competing for nutrients and oxygen, leading to reduced seedling growth and potential seedling death.
A higher concentration of vinegar can inhibit germination of radish seeds due to its acidic nature, which can disrupt the seeds' ability to absorb water and nutrients. Lower concentrations of vinegar may have minimal impact on 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.

Water is absorbed by osmosis inside the seeds of any plant, which soften the seed's shell and triggers germination.
