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

∙ 14y agopH levels have nothing to do with seed germination. All seeds need to germinate are moisture and warmth. However after the seed has germinated the level of pH wil be a factor for the growth of the plant.
Wiki User
∙ 9y agoThe PH level of the soil is important to plant growth because soil that has a high acid level is not good for some plants. There are some plants that can stand a higher level of acidity, but not many can grow in this type of soil.
Wiki User
∙ 9y agoYes, pH can affect the seed germination of plants. It may cause issues with the seeds pickling if the pH of the soil is not right, despite light being the biggest factor in germination.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoYes. pH effects how enzymes work, if it gets to high, they will stop working.

∙ 14y agoYes, extremes in pH will kill germinating seedlings. The optimal pH range is between 6.5 and 7.5 for plant growth and germination

What is needed for seed germination?
Seed germination requires the proper combination of oxygen, temperature, moisture and light. As the seed takes up water, it activates enzymes that direct the process of germination.
What is viviparous germination?
Viviporus germination is that type of germination in which seed germinate inside the fruit.
What gas is needed by the seed during germination?
Oxygen gas is needed by the seed during germination. Aerobic respiration takes place during seed germination to release lots of energy required for this process.
Where does germination take place?
seed germination does not takes place in flo.wers
The development of a seed into a new plant is called what?
Germination
How does pH affect the germination of soybeans?
Water is absorbed by osmosis inside the seeds of any plant, which soften the seed's shell and triggers germination.
Does tea affect seed germination?
k
Does magnetism affect seed germination?
yes
What are needed for the seed germination?
The conditions necessary for seed germination include:optimum temperature,oxygen,adequate supply of water,sunlight,moisture content,soil ph......
Does freezing affect seed germination?
yes it does
Does acid rain affect germination of seeds?
Yes, acid rain does affect germination of seeds by mixing in with the soil and damaging the seed coating.
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.
Why does temperature affect mongo seed germination?
because mongo seeds are always planted in tropical places so temperature always afects in the germination of mongo seed
How does salt water affect seed germination?
well it might not make a difference
How does salinity affect seed germination?
The salt inhibits germination of seeds. Although a little bit of salt does help the seed to grow more than if it just had normal water.
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
Does presoaking seed affect the germination and growth of plants?
Yes, though for each seed length and outcome are different.
