Seed is one of the key factors in crop production. The quality of the propagation material sown is
determined mainly by genetic factors, but agronomic and environmental factors also have great
importance. Growing plants under different production systems may cause variation in the
quality of seed harvested. Laboratory tests carried out at the Department of Agronomy,
University of Life Sciences in Poznań in 2008-2010, on the seed derived from field experiments
executed in the Agricultural Experimental Station Winna Góra belonging to the Institute of Plant
Protection - National Research Institute. The aim of this study was to assess the value of sowing
and the vigor of narrow lupine depending on the production system, sowing rate and variety.
Evaluated parameters were: germination energy, germination capacity and vigor using: test
seedling growth, seedling growth rate test, test Hiltner, test a comprehensive stress. Length of
roots, number of roots, the weight of grain and seedlings were also determined. It was found that
the conventional system significantly modified the sowing value of narrow lupine. Seed of
conventional crops was characterized by higher parameters of energy capacity, germination
capacity and vigor expressed in seedling growth test, Hiltner test, test comprehensive stress, vigor
index. The density of sowing of narrow lupine without of germination of capacity did not
influence the quality of sowing. Among the compared varieties, higher seed value and vigor were
observed in Boruta variety.
