- Abstract
The large variety of seed size at the Bird's-foot trefoil (Lotus corniculatus L.) affects their quality by the proportion of "hard" and "moldy" seeds. Studies found that germination energy, performed at a 5 days interval, varies depending on seed size: 71.8% at the class of medium seeds, 77% at small seeds, 82.2% at ungrouped seeds and 88.7% at large seeds. The average of results shows an increase in the proportion of "hard" seeds at the version with ungrouped seeds (3.11%) and a decrease in seeds grouped by size classes (1.77-2.42%). At the small and medium-sized groups of seeds there was no record of "moldy" seeds.
