TI - Presowing XeCl excilamp irradiation of crops: field research and prospects KW - эксилампы KW - предпосевная обработка KW - ультрафиолетовая обработка KW - семена KW - статьи в журналах N2 - Here we present research data demonstrating how crop seeds response to ultraviolet produced by a barrier-discharge XeCl* excilamp with a wavelength of 290–320 nm (82–88 %). The data show that presowing ultraviolet treatment is stimulatory to seed germination and plant growth. Ultraviolet treatment increases the seed germinability by 20–30 % and the plant fresh weight by 54 %, compared to untreated control samples, and provides a developed root system with long twisted segments. The research results are encouraging for upgrading the UV technology to larger-scale seed irradiation UR - http://vital.lib.tsu.ru/vital/access/manager/Repository/vtls:000628416 ER -
