The germinated crops were planted in the field uniformly
for easier identification. Each group of treated seeds was
planted in 10 columns and maximum of 130 rows. The
number of seeds germinated was counted from the crops
planted in the field. The percentage of germination was
calculated and the data were presented here.
The percentage of germination gives the number of seeds
germinated out of 100 seeds. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA)
was used to optimize the results. Analysis of variance is a
collection of statistical models used to analyze the differences
between group means and their associated procedures. Here
the germination of same group was calculated by calculating
the germination for each row in that group. Then the mean and
variation for that group were calculated. Thus the mean and
variance of different groups were compared in ANOVA.
The percentage of germination was calculated based on the
mean of each group of seeds germinated and maximum
percentage of germination within 95% confidence level. The
95% confidence level gives the confirmation of results which
were collected as sample results for each group of seeds. The
table 3 gives the percentage of germination for each group. The
percentage germination of controlled and AC voltage treated
seeds were shown in fig.5 and the percentage germination of
controlled and impulse voltage treated seeds were shown in
fig.5.
