Pre-sowing activation of seeds by ultraviolet (UV) radiation

Abstract

The mechanism of influence the UV- radiation biological processes into seeds of agricultural plants is considered. The technical parameters of installation for pre-sowing treatment seeds with ultraviolet radiation lamps for increasing the permeability of biological membranes of cells in seed are defined. The results of experimental researches on have established that for processing of seeds cotton pre-sowing treated with ultraviolet rays, increasing of their germination and productivity of agricultural crops are shown.
