Project Abstract

Abstract
Seed germination is a critical stage in the life cycle of plants, influenced by various environmental factors. This research aimed to investigate the effects of different environmental factors on seed germination in a specific plant species, with a focus on understanding how factors such as temperature, light, water availability, and soil composition impact the germination process. The study utilized a combination of laboratory experiments and field observations to analyze the germination rates and patterns of the selected plant species under controlled conditions and in natural habitats.
