Plant Physiology 53:641-643 (1974) © 1974 American Society of Plant Biologists Effect of Noise on the Mathematical Parameters that Describe Isothermal Seed Germination 1a Department of Physics, University of North Carolina, Greensboro, North Carolina 27412
A mathematical model is proposed to describe the isothermal germination rate of seeds as a function of time. All environmental parameters were held constant with the exception of the sound-pressure level and the frequency of the impinging sound waves. Each single frequency sound has its own set of mathematical parameters that describe the differential germination rate as a function of time. Frequencies of 100, 1000, 2000, 4000, and 9000 hertz as well as broad band noise, all at 100 decibels, were used in the experiments.
