Abstract

The influence of millimetric radiation with wave lengths of 4.9, 5.6, and 7.1 mm; a power flux density of 6–10 mW/cm2, and exposures for 2–30 min on dry seeds of different plant species stimulates the germination energy and germination capability of seeds at short exposures (for a few minutes). The method of the presowing treatment of seeds with initially low germination capability by short exposures of millimetric radiation in order to increase the viability of the seeds and the productivity of the plants grown from them has been suggested.
