Four seed fractions of winter wheat were analyzed (less than 2.2 mm, 2.2-2.5 mm, 2.5-2.8 mm, and greater than 2.8 mm). Thousand-grain weight, germination energy and total germination were tested under laboratory conditions. The average value of 1000-grain weight increased with increasing seed size. On average, the most and least abundant fractions were greater than 2.8 mm (43,2%) and 2.2-2.5 mm (9.2%), respectively. The highest percentage of germination (94%) was found in the less than 2.5-2.8 mm and 2.2-2.5 mm fractions and the lowest in the less than 2.2 mm one.
