abstract: This paper presents the results of geometric characteristics, seed weight, critical speed of propagation and angle of external friction of 32 varieties of Lathyrus sativus from different European countries. PDifferences in the values were determine for analysed varieties, and an attempt was made to capture the dependencies between them. The results and their statistical analysis showed significant differences between the average values of the different varieties of Lathyrus sativus seeds. The presence of numerous homogeneous groups shows the large random variation in origin of varieties, which were the source of the sample.
