Seeds (without soaking) will germinate between 6 and 17 days. Soaking the seeds overnight, but not more than 24 hours, will reduce the germination time.
Is it true that the number of days or time required for seed germination differs between seeds soaked in water and those germinated in moist tissue paper?
Cubists created a setup to observe the results.
Seed germination setup
- chitralekha,DSC delhi
Immersing/soaking moong bean seeds in water as compared to placing them on wet filter paper enhanced germination.
In the top setup, seeds placed on with wet filter paper. In the bottom setup, seeds soaked in water.
Shall repeat experiment to confirm.
Setup on 08/09/24 at 08:26 pm.
20 seeds in each group.

Out of 40 seeds 7 seeds started germinating .

Research Question: How many days will mustard seeds take to germinate when soaked vs when not soaked?
Hypothesis: Both will take the same number of days to germinate.
Setup: I used two plastic cups. One cup contained 20 mustard seeds that were soaked in water, while the other cup had 20 seeds placed on moist tissue paper.
Expectation: Both sets of seeds will take 4 days to germinate.
