Magnetic pulse processing of strawberries in the climatic chamber
Abstract
The article presents the results of experimental studies on the magnetic pulse treatment of strawberries in a climatic chamber. The analysis of the obtained data showed that the greatest effect from the treatment of plants with a low-frequency magnetic pulse field in the phase of peduncle formation was obtained on plants that were treated with a magnetic induction equal to 4 MT, a pulse repetition frequency of 32 Hz and a duty cycle of 20. The relationship between the parameters of low-frequency magnetic pulse radiation and the photosynthetic activity of the leaf apparatus at various stages of ontogenesis, and the qualitative composition of fruits at the stage of maturation is revealed. The high sensitivity of plant organisms to the effects of energy factors, the parameters of which differ in exposure and physical factors, is shown. At the same time, the nature of the response of plants is complex, ambiguous and is determined not only by the electrophysical parameters of the electric field, but also by the specific, varietal and technological features of the crop.
