EFFECTIVENESS OF PRE-SOWING TREATMENT OF AGRICULTURAL CROPS' SEEDS BY PHYSIOLOGICALLY ACTIVE HUMIN SUBSTANCES UNDER PRESSURE

摘要

The rate of sprouting and germination of the Lucerne seeds and other agricultural crops can be increased using a principally new, ecologically pure method of pressure treatment of sowing material (up to 2,5 o 10~8Pa.) in a natural physiologically active medium - humic drug from peat or brown coal, which results in increasing the crop capacity. Thus, the outer seed coat becomes penetrable for the growth stimulant to be brought inside. Influence of two factors, i.e. pressure and physiologically active substance, gives the synergetic effect.
