Performing this experiment could lead us to results that will benefit farmers and society from an agricultural standpoint. If the results turn out as predicted and seeds with no seed coat germinate faster, we could apply this information to crop production. The application of the seed coat removal technique in agriculture could benefit people economically and environmentally. If the results do not turn out as predicted, i.e. the seeds fail to germinate or it has no effect on germination rates, this will help us understand crop production further to make better decisions in the future. We could then conclude if the seed coat is or is not important for success rates of plants and crops, and use this information to our advantage in the future of agriculture.
