      1. Background

Lentil (Lens culinaris) functions as a significant leguminous crop that extends across the globe because of its high nutritious value and atmospheric nitrogen fixation, enabling better soil quality. Lentil serves as an excellent experimental subject because it is a quick-growing cool-season annual plant whose growth patterns follow predictable patterns (Zeroual et al., 2022). Plants experience development changes because of multiple environmental factors, including soil quality, amount of light exposure, water availability and seed planting density point. The critical factor in plant competition for light, water and nutrients is seed density, which represents the number of planted seeds in a defined area or container (Bebre et al., 2021). When plant seed density rises, the competitive environment strengthens, which results in both limited growth and decreased plant health.

2. Objective

The purpose of this experiment involves assessing seed density effects on lentil seedling growth through measuring average plant height over specified time.

3. Rationale

The research findings pertain to both agricultural production along the scientific field of plant biology. The experiment mirrors commercial farming situations by studying plant height results from populating lentil plant pots with one, two or three seeds at a time because plant density optimization directly impacts production output. The correct selection of seeding rates requires knowledge about plant crowding effects on growth by both farmers and researchers (Zeroual et al., 2022). The research will demonstrate the effect that seed population density has on lentil plant development under laboratory conditions.

4. Hypotheses
   1. Alternative Hypothesis (H₁): Seed density significantly affects the average height of Lens culinaris seedlings.
   2. Null Hypothesis (H₀): Seed density has no significant effect on the average height of Lens culinaris seedlings.
