Many people with seed germination issues wonder if there was a problem with the seed. However, that usually isn’t the cause. State seed laws require us to monitor seed lot germination by sending samples to certified seed labs to test and verify germination standards.
There are many factors that can cause seeds to not grow, including:
Seeds were planted when it was too hot or too cold
Seeds were planted too deeply/not deep enough
Seeds received too much water/not enough water
Seeds were planted in compacted soil
