Abstract: We fix a field $kk$ of characteristic $p$. For a finite group $G$ denote by $delta(G)$ and $sigma(G)$ respectively the minimal number $d$, such that for any finite dimensional representation $V$ of $G$ over $kk$ and any $vin{V}^{G}setminus0$ or $vinVsetminus0$ respectively, there exists a homogeneous invariant $finkk[V{]}^G$ of positive degree at most $d$ such that $f(v)e0$. Let $P$ be a Sylow-$p$-subgroup of $G$ (which we take to be trivial if the group order is not divisble by $p$). We show that $delta(G)=|P|$. If $N_G(P)/P$ is cyclic, we show $sigma(G)ge|N_G(P)|$. If $G$ is $p$-nilpotent and $P$ is not normal in $G$, we show $sigma(G)lefrac|G|l$, where $l$ is the smallest prime divisor of $|G|$. These results extend known results in the non-modular case to the modular case.
