The effectiveness of the modes of the super-high frequency electromagnetic field on the viability and infection of the second generation barley seeds

Abstract

Abstract This article presents the results of experimental studies, the assessment of barley seeds contamination obtained from effective variants of exposure by the electromagnetic field of super-high frequency, tested in laboratory and field conditions, pathogens genera Bipolaris, Fusarium and Alternaria. The positive effect of the super-high frequency electromagnetic field is manifested not only in barley seeds treated immediately before sowing, but also persists in the second generation, i.e. after harvesting. At the same time, there is a significant decrease in the infection rate of samples for both external and internal infection.
