Description
Summary:Horticulture as a branch of agriculture was developed as a means of increasing the crop productivity and economic feasibility of agricultural production. Advancement of various agricultural technologies, such as chemical and biological growth promoting substances and application of fertilizers, pesticides, substances that protect plants from diseases, causes ecological imbalance. For this reason, it is essential to perform the task of developing new technological methods that make it possible to unlock genetic potential of plants and get higher yields avoiding any environmental impact. Laser irradiation is one of such methods. Pre-sowing seed treatment with low-intensity red spectrum laser irradiation positively affects the growth and development of plants. This research paper conveys the study of the effect of red spectrum laser irradiation that allows one to irradiate mustard and radish seeds with continuous light using left and right rotating laser beam sweep in order to activate chemical matter with L- and D-conformations in plants. The effect of this treatment on germination capacity and energy was studied as well.
