Detailed explanation-1: -Epigeal germination: In this, the cotyledons of the seeds are pushed above the soil due to elongation of the hypocotyl. Example: Bean, Tomato, Pumpkin.

Detailed explanation-2: -At optimal temperatures, germination is rapid and uniform. All seeds need correct moisture to initiate internal processes leading up to germination. In field soil this is generally about 50-75 percent of field capacity. A fine-textured seedbed and good seed-to-soil contact are necessary for optimal germination.
