Question

  1.  What is the average, maximum and minimum percent germination for each

treatment?

2.   Which treatment had the biggest influence on germination?

3.   Knowing that in the Midwest and other parts of the country we use sodium

chloride to treat roads in the winter, how could this effect vegetation along

roadways in the spring?

2- 12% salt concentration has the maximum influence on germentation as high salt stress has reduce the seed germenation.

3- Using sodium chloride near road in spring can affect the growth of plant as salt is a stress to plant growth and it affect the plant if present in higher amount. NaCl used near by road when will reach to soil will get collect there and will hinder the growth of seed germenation.
