Abstract

Ensuring an increase in crop yields and a reduction in plant morbidity without the use of chemicals is an important task. Currently, many researchers have found a positive effect of a constant magnetic field on crop seeds during pre-sowing treatment, which is manifested in increasing crop yields, reducing plant morbidity, improving biochemical parameters and product quality. The aim of the study was to establish the influence of the magnetic field on the sowing qualities of oat seeds during pre-sowing treatment. Experimental studies of the effect of the magnetic field on the germination energy and seed germination were performed with oat seeds of the Desnyansky variety by the experimental planning method. It has been established that the rate of chemical reactions, ion transport, membrane permeability, seed water absorption and oxygen concentration in cells increase during seed treatment in a magnetic field, which contributes to the improvement of seed sowing qualities. It is established that the change of sowing qualities of seeds during their treatment in a magnetic field depends on the square of magnetic induction, the magnetic field gradient and the seed velocity. The most effective mode of pre-sowing treatment of oat seeds in a magnetic field is a magnetic induction of 0,065 T with fourfold re-magnetization, a magnetic field gradient of 0,57 T/m and a velocity of 0,4 m/s.
