The aim of this study was to quantify the response of germination rate to temperature and determining cardinal temperatures for different germination percentiles in Abelmoschus esculentus. Three models of non-linear regression [Quadratic, segmented and beta] were investigated to describe the temperature response of germination rate of A. esculentus over seven constant temperatures (10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35 and 40 ˚C). Different statistical indices [Root Mean of Squares of Error (RMSE) and coefficient of determination (R2)] were used to compare models. The estimated model parameters using by beta models were more confidence than others (RMSE=0.0019, R2=0.90). The base, the optimum and the ceiling temperatures for the germination of A. esculentus were estimated to be 9.84, 30.31 and 40.63˚C, respectively. The cardinal temperatures depended on the model used for their estimation. Overall, the beta model was better suited than the other models to estimate the cardinal temperatures for the germination of A. esculentus. The greatest germination percentage (98.7) and germination rate (0.0207) was observed in 25 and 30 ˚C, respectively.
