The theoretical basis of the factors influencing the effect of impacts on seeds is discussed. Seeds of rape Ceres with diameter 2 mm and moisture contents adjusted to 5.5-24% were subjected to impacts of 0.35-1.8 mJ. A month after harvesting, the 1.8 mJ impact damaged almost all seeds at 5.5% moisture content but only 60% of those with 24% moisture.
