The aftereffect’s study of pre-sowing treatment with electric current of 500V, 1000V and 8000V on the sowing qualities and growth processes of corn hybrid seeds Rodnik 180 SV was carried out in laboratory conditions. As a result of the conducted studies, the positive effect of electrical stimulation on the germination and germination energy of corn seeds was revealed. Studies have shown the effectiveness of seeds’ pre-sowing electrical stimulation according to the following traits: growth of roots and seedlings, seed swelling intensity, germination energy and germination. Laboratory germination of seeds increased by 10% compared to the standard, germination energy – by 13-15%. The swelling intensity of treated seeds was 15-17% higher. The weight of raw sprouts in the control option was 32.3g, dry – 10.2 g. The weight of raw sprouts in seeds treated with 8000V was 48.9g, when treated with 500V – 54.0g. The length of roots and seedlings when treated with 8000V ranged from 23.9 mm, at 500V - up to 44.2 mm.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
