Abstract The Seeds of Mung bean‚ wheat‚ and silver beet were tested in environments of differing salinities to note down if high salinity environments were worse for the seeds. It was found that generally lower concentrations were better for germination then higher concentrations. Despite this‚ the hypothesis was not completely supported as in wheat and silver beet the second concentration had a higher rate of germination than the control and in all instances the highest concentration had a higher

the growth and germination of the corn was determined by planting ten seeds per treatment with varying doses. Four hills representing the different treatments were made in which the seeds were planted five centimetres apart. The plant was observed from July 15 to September 16‚ 2013. Results showed that seeds treated with 10 kr radiation obtained the highest average height of 128.90 cm with 100 % germination and survival. The seeds treated with 50 kr radiation obtained 0% survival rate and the lowest

raw sugar in the soil surrounding a seed during the first 2 weeks of its life affects its growth. We proposed that it would help the plant because one of the results of photosynthesis was a product of sugar. We thought that perhaps a raw sugar would be absorbed through the roots and provide the plant with more energy. We chose Turbino sugar as our raw sugar. Procedures: 1. Form a hypothesis. 2. Soak the Mung beans for around 24 hours to loosen the seed coats. 3. Make the water/Turbino solutions
