摘要：The seeds of 12 different vetch (Vicia sativa L.) cultivars harvested during 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014 were used in this study. Initial vigor of the seed lots ranged 95 - 100%. As seed vigor tests, normal germination percentage, seedling emergence percentage, mean germination time, mean emergence time and electrical conductivity (for 24 hours) were used and potential use of these tests for emergence estimation of the vetch species and their efficiency in classification of vetch seed lots were investigated. Present findings revealed that EC (Electrical conductivity) test could be used for emergence estimation of the species and classification of vicia seed lots. EC values of seed lots varied between 17.14 - 29.45 µS cm~(-1)g~(-1) and all of them showed significant differences in term of EC lying in different statistical groups. It was concluded based on the findings of present studies that electrical conductivity values could be used for rapid emergence estimation of seed lots (r= -0.597, p < 0.05).
