Optimal parameters of sunflower seeds complex pre-sowing treatment

Abstract

The sowing quality of seeds is determined by the conditioning properties, one of which is germination. The potential yield depends on the number of germinated seeds, therefore, increasing the conditional properties of seeds by pre-sowing treatment is an urgent problem in agriculture. The introduction of an integrated method of pre-sowing seed treatment allows to summarize the positive effect of the electrophysical effects of an electric field and a biological preparation. The article presents the results of the studies carried out to establish the optimal treatment regimes for the treatment of sunflower hybrids NK Neoma, LG 5500, ES Petunia seeds in an integrated way. The parameters of seed treatment were determined - electric field strength 8 kV/cm, exposure 60 seconds, semi-dry etching with Zerebra Agro growth regulator with an aqueous solution in a proportion of 10 ml of the preparation, 1000 ml of water. Laboratory germination in relation to control increased in hybrids NK Neoma and LG 5550 by 10%, in hybrid ES Petunia by 12%.

Water consumption of corn for grain depending on the predecessor and fertilizers used using strip-til technology

“…As ways to increase productivity, it is necessary to use combinations of fertilizers [6], the method and period of their application [7][8], and treat seeds before sowing with growth stimulants. Alternative ways to increase the quantitative indicators of germination of seeds of agricultural crops, stimulate the growth and development of plants and, as a result, safety, are pre-sowing treatment of seeds by electrophysical methods [9][10][11] such as electromagnetic fields of various frequencies and wavelengths, ultraviolet and infrared radiation, corona discharge currents, electric pulse fields, which are an alternative to the use of pesticides and are safe for the surrounding flora and fauna [12][13]. Conducted studies on the effect of pre-sowing treatment in an electric field on sunflower seeds confirm the hypothesis about an environmentally friendly way to increase crop yields.…”

Yield of winter and spring wheat depending on pre-sowing treatment and mineral nutrition

“…Fertilizers are applied to the soil both at the sowing stage and after germination; an increase in the supply of mineral nutrition is achieved by pre-sowing seed treatment; for these purposes, biofertilizers have been successfully used in recent years. Pre-sowing treatment of wheat seeds is an important agricultural technique in the technological process [11]. Substances applied to the seed coat, entering the moist soil, dissolve and are absorbed by the seed.…”
