During seed germination, various biological processes and environmental factors interact to determine whether a seedling can develop healthily. Germination types and environmental factors explains the two fundamental germination types – epigeal and hypogeal – and shows how the development of cotyledons and primary leaves differs. It also describes the most important factors such as light, oxygen, temperature and water, which control the start of growth. In addition, it explains how stratification works as a germination aid and why certain species require special pre‑treatments. This provides a comprehensive overview of the conditions seeds need in order to germinate reliably and form vigorous plants.
