https://doi.org/10.32786/2071-9485-2023-03-51
Abstract
Introduction. Exposure to microwave electromagnetic radiation is one of effective physical methods of seed pre-sowing treatment. The aim of the research – review and critical analysis of scientific publications, describing the microwave radiation application for seed pre-sowing treatment to determine the prospects of its use in agriculture.
Materials and methods. The review of scientific literature on the stated topic for 2013-2023 was carried out. The study consisted of the following stages: scientific literature search, its evaluation and selection, data synthesis and analysis.
Results and conclusions. It was found that although intensive treatment of seeds with microwave radiation causes stress, its application in low doses of power or for a short time causes the effect of stimulating germination. Microwave pretreatment improves seed germination, germination energy and seedling growth. The action of microwave radiation changes the chemical composition of seeds, activates the synthesis of enzymes, contributing to their better germination. The most promising direction of research is the experimental determination of such parameters of seed presowing treatment with microwave radiation, which simultaneously provide both their disinfection and stimulation of germination and the subsequent resistance of agricultural plants to abiogenous stress.
