Abstract
The final germination percentage alone does not reflect the speed or patter n of germination. Various parameters measuring the speed of germination are evaluated in this paper under three germination scenarios. The final germi nation percentage should be used together with the mean germination time an d the germination index to reflect the percentage and speed of germination separately and in combination.
