Microwave pre-seeding treatment of vegetable, grain crops flax, conifer
CharacteristicMicrowave energy is successfully applied to up-today agricultural technologies. The technology is based upon informational impact of low-power level microwave energy on biological objects. This impact increases the germination energy and plants immunity.
The application of the given technology to pre-seeding treatment increments yield by 10-12%. Microwave technology enables to eliminate seed infection, increase germination, enlarge plants photo-synthesizing apparatus, promoting their faster growth and increasing vegetable crops yield
| power inputs | 50 mWt/kg seeds |
| frequency range | 37, 5-78,33 GHz |
| the biotechnology is low-energy and environmentally friendly | |
Economical effectiveness from application of vegetable crops microwave pre-seeding treatment:
- for hothouses with the yield of 28…35 kg/m2 it makes (when seed germination increased by 10…15%, and the yield increased by 8…12% ) from 8 000 USD per one hectare;
- outdoor growing vegetable farming it makes (when seed germination increased by 12…25%, and the yield increased by 8…15%, excluding pre-seeding pesticide treatment) from 270,0 USD per 1 ton depending on the type of crop.
Forest cultures seeds treatment technology is also promising.
