Seeds need varying amounts of light to germinate successfully, depending on the plant species. Some seeds require light to germinate, while others need darkness. Generally, seeds that need light to germinate should be placed on the soil surface or only lightly covered. It is important to follow specific instructions for each type of seed to ensure successful germination.
What else can I help you with?
Why do few plants produce seeds that germinate successfully underwater?
Few plants produce seeds that germinate successfully underwater because most seeds are adapted to germinate in terrestrial environments where they have access to air, sunlight, and nutrients. Underwater conditions may lack the necessary conditions for successful germination, such as oxygen availability for respiration, proper light levels for photosynthesis, and lack of anchorage for the developing seedling.
Do more seeds germinate in light or in darkness?
Pumpkin seeds definetely grow alot better during the day. This is because they need alot of sunligh, photosynthesis and water. They also grow much faster in the day then at night. Hope this helps From: Daren
What percentage of the same type of seeds will germinate given the same condition?
It depends on what those conditions are. For example, in totally dry conditions none of the seeds might germinate. It also depends on the seed, the temperature, the light conditions, the dampness of the soil, how deeply the seeds are planted and other factors. Some seeds much be burnt, some must pass through the digestive tract of a animal, some are sterile.

Does the amount of light a seed is exposed to affect seed germination?
yes it does. the less light the seed has will either make the seed take longer to germinate or not germinate at all. Answer it really depends on the type of seed. some seeds like watermelon and tomato coulnd care less about how much light they get while others like lettuce would not germinate in the dark at all. but as a rule of thumb, most seeds prefer to germinate in the dark.
Can a seed grow in the dark or in the light?
No, seeds grow in day and night. It is even better if it rains. I can remember when I did something like that many years ago when I was still at school! lol (edited) Actually, I know only few seeds that grows in the dark because they cannot survive too much heat from the sun. I think it burns and dehydrates them. Seeds mostly grow under sun or fluorescent/incandescent light, where it can photosynthesize.
What chemical do you use when you want to make sure as many seeds as possible germinate?
Gibberellic acid, but you do not need very much because too much Gibberellic acid will prevent germination.
Why is it important to give the seeds neither too much nor too little water?
Giving seeds neither too much nor too little water is important because: Too much water can lead to rotting of seeds and suffocation of roots due to lack of oxygen. Too little water can cause seeds to dry out and fail to germinate. Providing the right amount of water helps seeds to germinate properly and establish healthy root systems for future growth.
Where will the mongo seeds germinate faster in water or in a wet cloth?
probably a wet cloth as the seed needs oxygen to germinated and there isn't much of it available if its immersed in water
How much light do tomato seedlings need to thrive and grow successfully?
Tomato seedlings need about 14-16 hours of light per day to thrive and grow successfully.
Is shade better for sunflower seeds than sun?
The Light Is So Much Better For SUNflower seeds. (if you wanna grow then)
How much water do you need to germinate a seed?
you need one cup of water to germinate a seed
