WHAT DO YOU
NEED TO
INFORMATION SHEET 1.1

Determining the Percentage Germination of Seeds


Based on the Lecture Notes in Agronomy 11 (NVSIT), there are rules in computing for the
percentage of germinating seeds.
Rule 1: If you test 100 seeds, the number of seeds germinated equals the percentage
germination of the seeds.
Example: You tested 100 seeds of eggplant using the rag doll method, 85 seeds germinated.
The percentage germination of the seeds then is 85%.
Rule 2. If you test less than or more than 100 seeds use the formula below in computing the
percentage germination of the seeds.
Example: Mr. X tested 125 seeds of hybrid tomato and 105 germinated. What is the
percentage germination of the tomato seeds?
% Germination = no. of seeds germinated X 100
No. of seeds tested

= 125 X 100
105

% G = 84
Rule 3. If you found out that the percentage germination of your seeds is below 80, you
need to adjust your seed bulk. Use the formula below in adjusting the seed bulk.
Adjusted amount of seed = amount of seeds needed X 100
% Of germination

Example:
You needed 200 seedlings to plant your garden. You found out that your seeds have only 75
% germination. How many seeds will you sow?
Let: X = the number of seeds to sow or your adjusted seeds

Adjusted amount of seed =

x 100
X=
75 200 x 100 X = 266.6 or 267 seeds
