Abstract
Cold storage is a process applied to seeds to enable them to germinate more efficiently. The purpose of this extended essay is to determine whether the duration of cold storage applied affects the germination behavior of a certain type of seed. The hypothesis formed for the claimed research question “How does the duration of cold storage applied for 0, 2, 4, 6 and 8 weeks to five groups of scallion seeds affect their behavior of germination under same conditions?” is that there would be a significant increase in the number of germinated seeds and affect its efficiency as the duration of exposure increases. So as to support the hypothesis, scallion seeds were exposed to cold storage for 0, 2, 4, 6 and 8 weeks for five different test groups with the exact same conditions. The duration of cold storage was the independent variable. In order to observe the effect more easily, the seeds were let to germinate in a water bathe then stratified on sterilized soil. The results have showed that there was a significant mean difference between the number of germinated seeds in each test group when the duration of applied cold storage is changed. Therefore, the percentage of germinated seeds can be altered by changing the time interval of cold storage.
