description Germination models are quite helpful in predicting emergence times, dormancy periods, and their applications in crop management. This study investigated the germination behaviors of <i>Eruca sativa</i> Mill. in response to fluctuations in temperatures (<i>T<sub>s</sub></i>) and water potentials (<i>ψ<sub>s</sub></i>). Germination percentage (GP) increased 95% with rising temperature within the range of 20–30 °C, and decreased 25% at 5 °C. Moreover, each <i>ψ</i> and <i>T</i> resulted in a decrease in GP as <i>ψ</i> decreased. Further, we noted that the <i>θT</i>1 value was substantially high at 30 °C and in (0 MPa), whereas the <i>θT</i>2 value was maximum at 10 °C (−0.02 MPa) and it decreased with decreasing <i>Ψ</i>. The maximum hydrothermal time constant (<i>θ</i>HTT) and hydrotime (<i>θ</i>H) values were obtained at 10 and 30 °C, respectively. In addition, a linear increase in the GR<sub>(<i>g</i>)</sub> pattern was observed at <i>T<sub>b</sub></i> and a decrease below the <i>T<sub>o</sub></i>. The calculated cardinal <i>T<sub>s</sub></i> was 5 °C for the base <i>T</i>, and 30 °C for both the optimum and ceiling <i>T</i>. The germination characteristics were higher at 30 °C having (0 MPa). Therefore, using cardinal temperatures, germination results, and the hydrothermal time model (HTT) could reveal the independent and interactive impacts of both <i>T</i> and the <i>Ψ</i> on the response of seed germination subjected to diverse environmental conditions.
