Abstract. The paper overviews directions for electrotechnology treatment of grain seeds before sowing. The hypothesis of the germination enhancement of seeds if treated with corona discharge is presented here. Besides, the description of electrotechnology installation and facilities for it including manufacturing process quality obtained as a result of scientific tests are also provided in the paper. IntroductionThe paper is devoted to the technology optimization of grain seeds treatment before sowing through physical methods excluding high tangible costs and providing the staff safety.The major task of farming has always been and remains an all-out increase of grain seeds production. At the same time the main factor of the grain productivity increase is a quality upgrading of seed grain.Meanwhile in Siberian farms no more than 50-60% of the first and second class seeds on the average are filled up for storage annually. However, the majority of seeds are unconditional by the germination ability, humidity and purity. Such seeds have a low germination readiness and field survival. Thus, the Siberian farms sow up to 30% of nongrade seed grains annually. The composition of such seeds is characterized by high heterogeneity, but the germination readiness for each respective year is torn between 10 to 90%. Moreover, seeds have a high percentage of injury, frost damage, humidity. As a result only due to a low quality of seed grains, the field germination is torn between 40 to 85% affecting the productivity respectively.Under the farm conditions, the problem of low quality of seed grains is usually solved by the increase of the seed application rate, but the seed waste in this respect is up to 0.6 centner/ha. To be sure the improving of seed quality, that is their germination enhancement and germinating energy, gives the possibility to reduce the seed application rate and receive an extra yield allowing not only to reduce costs on the grain production but to increase the closing gain.One can increase the quality and field germination of viable seeds using the practice of preseeding treatment through physical, chemical and other methods. Numerous research data reveal that different types of action on seeds influence positively the up-regulation evolution of plants. Therefore, currently satisfiers fostering the germinating energy enhancement and field germination rate of seed grain have been widely used in agricultural practice. The easiest way used in most farms for improving sowing qualities of seeds is pretreatment, solar heating and preseeding warm-up in aerated bins or seed driers. In addition, the researches for seed treatment with gamma radiation, super-high frequencies, infrared

-It was proposed to use electrokinetic phenomena for the cultivation of agricultural products, taking into account the multifactority of technology and the presence of relaxation phenomena. It is forecasted to use new approaches to reduce energy costs for the process of moistening the root-layer of soil and saving natural resources. The proposed technology will make it possible to get rid of a number of irrationally used natural resources. This is especially true for the Crimean region and the Volga region. Using this technology in Uzbekistan will allow the elimination of the Aral catastrophe and restoration of the natural balance in this region.
