Germination Rate Formula
The following two example problems outline the steps and information needed to calculate the Germination Rate.
GERM = HS / #S * 100
- Where GERM is the Germination Rate (%)
- HS is the number of healthy seedlings
- #S is the number of seeds
How to Calculate Germination Rate?
The following example problems outline how to calculate Germination Rate.
Example Problem #1:
- First, determine the number of healthy seedlings.
- The number of healthy seedlings is given as: 40.
- Next, determine the number of seeds.
- The number of seeds is provided as: 100.
- Finally, calculate the Germination Rate using the equation above:
GERM = HS / #S * 100
The values provided above are inserted into the equation below and computed.
GERM = 40 / 100 * 100 = 40.00 (%)
Example Problem #2:
For this problem, the variables required are provided below:
number of healthy seedlings = 20
number of seeds = 200
Test your knowledge using the equation and check your answer with the calculator..
GERM = HS / #S * 100 = ?
