"Fertilization rates" refers to the percentage or number of successful unions between male and female reproductive cells (sperm and egg) that result in the creation of an embryo or fertilized egg. Full definition
«Although such differences may be a function of the large sample size and thus not clinically relevant, our findings suggest that use of ICSI may improve fertilization rates but not implantation or pregnancy rates in the setting of unexplained infertility, advanced maternal age, and low oocyte [a cell from which an egg develops] yield,» the authors write.

A statistically significant difference in fertilization rate was noted between frozen sperm (62 percent) and fresh (47 percent) sperm, respectively. (sciencedaily.com)
She also accounted for the nitrogen fertilization rate, mean temperature and precipitation, the presence or absence of cover crops, and other variables. (sciencedaily.com)
