Abstract

Abstract. The use of pre-sowing treatment of seeds in a magnetic field makes it possible to increase crop yields, reduce plant morbidity, improve plant biochemical parameters and product quality.

During seed treatment in a magnetic field, the rate of chemical reactions, ion transport, membrane permeability, seed water absorption and oxygen concentration in the cells increase, 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 gradient of the magnetic field and the velocity of movement of seeds.

With a change in magnetic induction from 0 to 0.065 T germination energy and seed germination increase, and with a further increase in magnetic induction begin to decrease. The change in sowing qualities of seeds is influenced by the velocity of their movement in the magnetic field and the gradient of the magnetic field, although they are less significant factors than magnetic induction. The best results were at lower velocity values and a larger magnetic field gradient.

The most effective mode of pre-sowing seed treatment in a magnetic field is a magnetic induction of 0.065 T with four re-magnetization, a magnetic field gradient of 0.57 T m and a velocity of 0.4 m/s.

With this mode of pre-sowing treatment of seeds in a magnetic field, the germination energy of cereals compared to the control increased by 16 – 50 %, and germination - by 10 – 38 %.

 Key words: seeds, magnetic induction, seed velocity, magnetic field gradient, germination energy, germination
