Banana Seed Germination Forum As one of the toughest seeds in the plant kingdom to figure out the keys to germination success with, this is a forum with banana seed germination tips. Please entitle posts like "Musa balbisiana," or "Musa cheesmani," etc. People would then post a reply under that heading, sharing their germination successes (and failures), what materials and methods they used, germination percentage, etc.

Default vacuum

Soaking the seed is too I guess to hydrate as well as wash out some of the inhibiting chemicals. Any thoughts as to the effect of soaking the seeds under vacuum?

Default Re: vacuum

It has been done, primarily to reduce surface tension while sterilizing the seed coat. As far as germination benefits, it does not appear to have any. Plants will not grow without an atmosphere.
