Why does pH affect seed germination?
Certainly Seeds planted in neutral pH soils will germinate faster than in alkaline or acidic soils, and there will be a much better rate of germination as well. ( less seeds will fail to germinate ) Also the plants will be more healthy and grow faster in neutral pH conditions as the nutrients are more readily available and not bound up in the soil .
What is the effect of pH on the germination rate of pea plants?
Optimum pH for germination of peas is 5.8-7. At a pH of 8 or greater the seed will not germinate.
Does acid rain affect germination of seeds?
