PRESOWING TREATMENT OF RYE SEEDS IN A MAGNETIC FIELD
The aim of the work was to study the influence of the magnetic field on the sowing quality of rye seeds during presowing treatment. On the basis of the conducted researches it is established that the change in the sowing quality of seed during their processing in a magnetic field depends on the square of the magnetic induction and the speed of movement of the seeds. When the magnetic induction varies from 0 to 0.065 T, the germination energy, germination and biopotential of rye seeds increase, and with a further increase in magnetic induction, they begin to decrease. The change in the sowing quality of seed is affected by the speed of their movement in the magnetic field, although it is a less significant factor than the magnetic induction. It has been established that the most effective mode of presowing treatment of rye seeds in a magnetic field is a magnetic induction of 0.065 T, a four-time reversal of magnetization and a velocity of 0.4 m/s.
