Seeds remain inactive until conditions are right for germination. All seeds need water‚ oxygen‚ and proper temperature in order to germinate. However‚ some seeds require full light or darkness to germinate. According to Holm (1996) seeds have chemical inhibitors that prevent germination. A seed will not grow unless those inhibitors are destroyed by things like

Germination also depends on the physical environment. Temperatures must be suited to the seed‚ and light quality and quantity must also be suited to the needs of the seed. In some cases‚ all these conditions are met‚ and still‚ the seed fails to germinate
