Detailed explanation-1: -We predict that increased temperatures will increase germination rates and percentages. However, any temperature past the optimum germination temperature (10-20˚C for many species) (Finch-Savage and Leubner-Metzger 2006) will negatively affect seed germination and species survivability.
Detailed explanation-2: -In most cases an interior temperature of 60-70 degrees is not warm enough for quick germination, but seeds usually will germinate eventually (lack of supplemental heat is especially detrimental to peppers and eggplants, both of which are REALLY SLOW to germinate when left at room temperature).
Detailed explanation-3: -The easy way to do this, of course, would be to say that most seeds will germinate with a soil temperature of around 80 degrees Fahrenheit.
