Having the quality or capacity to cause germination or growth; capable of sprouting.
From Latin germinativus, combining germinare (to sprout) with the adjective-forming suffix -ive, meaning 'tending to' or 'capable of.'
Germinative potential in seeds is one of nature's most carefully calibrated systems—farmers can measure it precisely to predict exactly how many plants will grow from a batch of seeds.
