The influence of the size of vegetable seeds on their sowing qualities during long-term storage was determined; the dynamics of reducing the energy of germination and laboratory germination of seeds was studied. Insurance and reserve funds of vegetable seeds should be deposited after the exclusion of the total volume of extreme fractions – small and large seeds.

Key words: seeds, seed quality, germination energy, laboratory germination, seed strength, seed fractions, seed storage
