SEED TREATMENT IN ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD OF ULTRAHIGH FREQUENCY
To date, trends in presowing disinfection of seeds are aimed at finding the latest, rational and efficient technologies that will provide this process with a high degree of environmental friendliness and purity. One of the most promising methods is the treatment of seeds in an electromagnetic field of ultrahigh frequency (EMF microwave). Introduction. Currently, there are a number of methods for seed treatment. One of them is the use of an electromagnetic field of ultrahigh frequency (EMF microwave). It is aimed at seed disinfection, which precedes the sowing stage. This method is the most effective of the existing ones today. It contains electrical and thermal effects with the ability to control processes. But each method has drawbacks, and the method considered in the study is no exception. Its main problem is that the effect on the seeds is uneven in the microwave chamber of the installation. Thus, it is relevant to find a solution to this problem in order to improve the sowing qualities of seeds. This will increase the efficiency of the plant and take the entire technological process of seed treatment to a new level. An object. The object of research is the process of seed treatment by the method of electromagnetic field of ultrahigh frequency. Object. The object of research is the process of seed treatment by the method of electromagnetic field of ultrahigh frequency. Materials and methods. The main methods used in the study are analysis and comparison. Results and conclusions. To increase the efficiency of pre-sowing seed treatment by the EMF microwave method, it is necessary to use improved technologies. A competent approach to the selection of a microwave installation will help to avoid an unfavorable outcome, as well as ensure a uniform effect on the seeds.
