Rate of seed germination is decreased when there are high concentrations salt in the soil which results in prevention of essential and vital water from accessing the seed. High Osmotic potential of the soil is also a result of high salt concentration, this means that the plant must use more energy to absorb water.
Plants rely on water and nutrients in the soil to survive, plants go through a process called osmosis so that water uptake may take place. Osmosis is the movement of water through a cellular membrane, it is a type of diffusion that moves water molecules from a higher concentration of salt to a place of lower salt concentration to create a cellular environment that is stable and equal. Osmosis is vital to the stability and growth of the plant life, without the process of osmosis, other processes that are vital in the life of a plant would not occur.
This report will discuss the effects of salinity in the growth of and germination of Mung bean seeds and what the effects on mung bean seeds are whether the growth of mung bean seeds is decreased when the salt percentage of the concentration is
