Glossary entry (derived from question below)
Spanish term or phrase:
germinación nula
English translation:
null germination
Spanish term
germinación nula
Estoy traduciendo un componente de un proyecto y me gustaría saber cuál podría ser la traducción más adecuada para el término "germinación nula":
De los productores que reportaron haber realizado pruebas de germinación de la semilla de frijol, el 53.6% valoran como germinación alta, además están satisfechos con la calidad del producto recibido para sus cultivos.
VALORACION DE LA GERMINACION
Germinación Alta
Germinación Media
Germinación Nula
My try:
Assessment of the germination (process)
High germination (level/rate)
Medium germination (level/rate)
Germinación Nula >? No germination, maybe?
De antemano, gracias por sus aportes.
Saludos

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.
Proposed translations
null germination
However, Muriel's links are very convincing.
These studies showed null germination in the 0-month-old seeds incubated for 30 days
Cyperaceae and Poaceae showed an extremely low or null germination due to a high proportion of unviable or embryo-less seeds

: Or none, or zero. You don't have to keep repeating 'germination' as the Spanish does.

Seed dormancy
Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org › wiki › Seed_dormancy
Many species of plants have seeds that delay germination for many months or years, and some seeds can remain in the soil seed bank for more than 50 years ...

: I wonder if this would also apply to the "embryo-less seeds" mentioned in my second link below...

: Dormancy, which seems to be your final answer, is wrong in my opinion - as your second reference says, they could be damaged or dead.

Four day standard germination test EEUU
quote..Evaluación de la*** prueba de germinación estándar***
Se realiza un primer conteo de plántulas que varía de acuerdo a la especie (4 días para
maíz, melón, pepino), se evalúan las plántulas normales (plántulas con raíz y tallo, cada
estructura con al menos dos veces el tamaño de la semilla en longitud), como un indicador
de vigor de germinación de la semilla y el resultado se expresa en porciento. Es necesario
realizar un conteo final de la germinación a los 7, 8 o 14 días, dependiendo de la especie,
para determinar el porcentaje, contando las plántulas normales (PN), anormales (PA) y las
***semillas sin germinar (SSG)*** (Figura 4). Se determina también la longitud de plúmula (LP) y de
la radícula o tallo (LR) en plántulas normales, estos datos se expresan en cm, y se consideran
un indicador del vigor. Para finalizar, se toma el peso seco (PS) de todas las plántulas
normales, las cuales son colocadas en bolsas de papel estraza con perforaciones, para
someterlas a secado en una estufa Lab-Line modelo 3478M, con una duración de 24 h a 70°C.
Las normas de la ISTA (2004) establecen procedimientos de germinación y periodos
detallados para realizar los conteos de plántulas.
.scielo.org.mx/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S2007-09342021000701199
Una vez establecido el experimento, las variables analizadas fueron los siguientes: germinación estándar o ‘PN’ (plántulas normales ‘PN’, plántulas anormales ‘PA’ y semillas sin germinar **‘SSG’)*** la evaluación se realiza al séptimo día después de la siembra. Para estos propósitos se define a la germinación, como la emergencia y desarrollo de aquellas estructuras esenciales que provienen del embrión y que manifiestan la capacidad de la semilla para producir una planta normal bajo condiciones favorables. Plántula normal se consideran todas aquellas que poseen las estructuras esenciales para producir plantas normales bajo condiciones favorables de agua, luz y temperatura.
marysveggiegarden,,, seed testing...In November I taught a class on Seeds and Transplants and in class I discussed seed germination testing. Students were asked to test the discolored seed as homework.
I tested 10 of those seeds myself and 9 germinated. Usually beans grow quickly and five of my seeds had good-sized roots showing 6 days later. I discarded the growing seeds and put the rest back in the plastic bag for a few more days. In another 3 days four of the remaining seeds had germinated.
Germination results on Nov. 17.
Germination results on Nov. 17.
Results: of 40 seeds tested 32 germinated.
Now that I know the seed is viable, should it be used as seed stock? It doesn’t meet the standards of the seed industry – I’ve never seen discolored bean seed in a seed packet. And knowing the seed has been wet then dried, there is probably some danger of some sort of mold or mildew contamination – even if I cannot see it. You can probably tell – I’m still undecided.

might look at U of Costa Rica..https://www.scielo.sa.cr/pdf/am/v33nspe1/1659-1321-am-33-spe...
This reference lacks perspective, WHO is doing the test, the FARMERS who bought the seed? In school farmers are told to do a germination test themselves, usually 4 days, graded into High rate, Low rate and No germination.
In beans the main reason for no germination, is were not properly stored, in Granada, Masayo, if the seed get wet, it molds and then will not sprout at all, Out of stored beans , not latency but improper storage, and after 2 years likely are not good, too hot, wet etc.
