Purpose and field of application

Technology is based on low-level microwave energy effect on biological objects and applicated in agriculture:

• to increase the seed germination power;
• to sterilize soil and mineral substrates used in hothouses for growing of tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, flowers, therewith the soil fermentation activity is preserved;
• to eliminate the seed and soil infectious diseases (Corinobacterium, Fusarium oxysporum, Botritis cinerea, Sclerotinian and others);

Effectivity of the technology

• germination and growth improvement plant immunity to infectious diseases
• photosynthesis of plants increases;
• yield increasing by 10-12%.

Technical specifications of the seeds treatment technology

• nominal power, mW/kg: 50;
• frequency, GHz: 37,5-78,33

Advantages

• ecological safety;
• low power consumption;
• successsfully tested by hothouse farming of Belarus
