Summary

This dataset supports research on the effects of microplastics in soil on seed germination of Daucus carota (carrot), covering four plastic shapes and three polymer types with germination outcomes measured over 49 days.

Microplastic effects on seed germination of Daucus carota. Shapes ( fibers, films, foams, and fragments) each one made of 3 different polymer types. Germination was measured on days 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, and 49. Germination parameteres were calculated using Germinationmetrics (Percentage of final germination, velocity, and synchrony).
