RESEARCH ON THE EFFECT OF ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD OF EHF BAND ON SEEDS OF CULTURAL PLANTS

Abstract

Introduction. In modern conditions, to increase the yield of cultivated plants use pre-sowing seeds with the use of chemical and biological products. The main disadvantages of chemical and biological treatments, both seeds and vegetative plants are the low environmental purity of chemical and biological products, their ability to accumulate in plant biomass and affect their genetic structure. The main advantage of electromagnetic technology for pre-sowing seed treatment with low-energy EHF radiation is the ability to improve their growth and development by mobilizing the internal reserves of the seed itself without chemical or biological agents or genetic engineering methods. Methods. The study is based on the analysis of literature, which can be concluded that the increase in plant yields is possible based on the use of millimeter-wave electromagnetic radiation for pre-sowing seed treatment. Results. The article proposes a technique for studying the energy characteristics of a semiconductor generator for pre-sowing seed treatment. Conclusion. The result of the developed technique is that one of the main elements of the plant for pre-sowing seed treatment is the emitter of EM energy, which should form the necessary radiation pattern and provide a sufficient level of power flow density on the grain
