Abstract

The paper describes modern methods of increasing the yield of potatoes–the leading crop in the world market for crop production. An alternative method of stimulating potato growth is proposed: the effect of non-ionizing radiation with 650 nm wave length, 150 MW radiation power, 30 s exposure. Gala forage potatoes were used as a research object. To evaluate the efficiency of laser radiation effect, the yield was calculated, feed qualities (content of dry matter, carbohydrates and toxic elements) were assessed. There was an increase in the yield by 47%, starch by 28.2%, and sugars by almost 2 times. At the same time, potato keeping quality increased by 4.3%.
