Abstract

Significant differences among 25 common vetch (Vicia sativa L.) cultivars existed for each of eight seed and seedling traits. Weight of 50 seeds was positively correlated with seedling characteristics but not with time required for emergence. Emergence time was negatively associated with seedling size 14 days after planting. Breeders can select common vetch lines for seedling vigor by selecting for large seed size.
