In harvest year 2009 lower values of germinating energy three weeks after achieving full ripeness were recorded. Values of germinating energy after achieving full ripeness exceeding 95 % were recorded only in the varieties Aktiv and Jersey. Varieties exhibited considerable differences in intensity of germination, i.e. rate and index of germination. Nine weeks after achieving full ripeness the varieties Henley, Publican, Radegast, Signora, Vista, and Xanadu germinated quickly and readily unlike the varieties Advent, Aksamit, Aktiv, Marthe, Streif, and Tolar. Variability of germinating energy was affected by the location, variability of characters describing intensity of germination was significantly affected by the variety.In harvest year 2009 lower values of germinating energy three weeks after achieving full ripeness were recorded.
