There has been a vast and numerous literature concerning seed longevity. Most of these works however has focused solely on theoretical and biological aspects of this problem. Some works although deal with practical problems of seed storage, vigour or deterioration, have had relatively little connection with agricultural crops, practical farming or gardening. Therefore, there has been a need to look at this problem from the seedman' s and farmer' s point of view. The paper comments on how long seeds of agricultural crops species can keep their longevity, how long it is economically reasonable to store them, the effect of the seeds chemical composition on their longevity, how seeds storage conditions can be modified in order to eventually improve their longevity and environment circumstances influence on the final seed longevity. The paper contains a synthetic summary of expected seed longevity of the most important agricultural species and many examples of long longevity of agricultural species.

Istnieje bardzo wiele danych literaturowych dotyczących długowieczności nasion. Większość z tych prac koncentrowała się jednak wyłącznie na teoretycznych i biologicznych aspektach zagadnienia. Pomimo tego, że część badań dotyczyła praktycznych problemów przechowywania nasion, wigoru czy degeneracji, miały one relatywnie mały związek z nasionami roślin rolniczych, praktyczną uprawą lub ogrodnictwem. Dlatego też wystąpiła potrzeba spojrzenia na ten problem z punktu widzenia producentów nasion i rolników. Prezentowana praca wypowiada się na temat tego jak długo nasiona roślin rolniczych mogą zachować długowieczność, jak długo ich przechowywanie jest uzasadnione ekonomicznie, jaki jest wpływ składu chemicznego nasion na ich długowieczność, jak mogą być modyfikowane warunki przechowywania nasion w celu ewentualnego zwiększenia ich długowieczności i jaki jest wpływ czynników środowiskowych na końcową długowieczność nasion. Praca zawiera syntetyczne streszczenie na temat najbardziej znaczących gatunków roślin uprawnych i wiele przykładów długowieczności nasion roślin rolniczych.
