Abstract
Thornley's adaptation of Kendall's model was tested on 46 sets of germination data. The model provided a good empirical description of cumulative germination but the necessary calculations were very complex. It was concluded that either the assumption of sequential germination stages or the assumption of a common linear rate constant between stages, or both, were unsatisfactory and that simpler and more useful mathematical means of describing the time-course of germination were available.
