The effect of water potential of pellets on germination of sugar beet seeds was investigated. Very low (negative) pellets water potential decreased speed of germination and germination ability in conditions of water shortage. As germination process proceeded, water potential of pellets increased gradually. Differences between water potentials of different types of pellets decreased during germination.
