I agree totally with erlend

In nature the seeds do not fall in seaweed/cocopeat/perlite or a
mixture of that but they are able to multiply themselves though.

I think you should also take a period of a year before saying how many
percent germinated, this is a fair period for the seed.

That a major part not germinate is very natural. Its known from trees
that some years they produce a lot non-viable seeds, I think due to
the weather circumstances. Maybe this varies for bananas too.

Actually the banana seeds are taken to early out of the banana because
the bananas should rotten first in my believe before the seed is actually
on his best.

If there is someone who can describe the whole procedure in nature, it
could give us more knowledge about dormancy etc.
