How to calculate plant germination percentage
Plant germination percentage measures what share of planted seeds successfully sprouted — a standard measure of seed viability and planting success.
How the calculation works
Germination percentage = (Seeds germinated ÷ Seeds planted) × 100.
Example
85 seeds germinated out of 100 planted: (85÷100)×100 = 85%.

Pro Tips for Plant Germination Percentage
- Compare your result against the germination rate printed on the seed packet to evaluate whether your specific growing conditions matched or fell short of expectations.
- Seed age, storage conditions, and planting depth/moisture all affect actual germination rate beyond the packet's baseline rating.
Common Plant Germination Percentage Mistakes to Avoid
- Comparing germination results across seed batches without accounting for seed age, since germination rate typically declines the longer seeds are stored.
