Abstract
⺠We studied germination of 50 plants in kerosene-contaminated leached chernozem. ⺠It decreased in the range of families: Fabaceae > Brassicaceae > Asteraceae > Poaceae. ⺠Tested wild plants were more sensitive to kerosene than cultivated. ⺠The degree of plant tolerance did not correlate to the mass of seeds. ⺠Structure of testa and germ and type of storage compounds were more important.
