Effect of the using combined environmentally friendly methods on increasing the yield of agricultural products

Abstract

The paper presents results of the combined use of environmentally friendly methods in order to increase the quantity and quality of a wheat harvest by intensifying the biological processes occurring in the seed with the use pre-seeding irradiation with a low-frequency acoustic range electromagnetic field (EMFAR) and with addition of natural zeolite - clinoptilolite to the soil. The expe-riment was carried out in eight variation, each in four replicates. The sowing qualities of wheat seeds were previously established. Laboratory germination of the test culture was 94%. Before sowing part of the seeds were soaked in water into the vegetation vessels, the other part – in a diluted solution NPK, and then exposed to the electromagnetic field of the acoustic range (EMFAR). The optimal parameters of EMFAR (frequency, voltage, exposure time) were established on the basis of previously testing. Prepa-red seeds were sown in vegetation vessels with composites containing soil and zeolite (clinoptilolite of the Handaki deposit, Geo-rgia) on a 1: 1 ratio. The results of the carried out experiments showed that the life-sustaining activity parameters of test plants grown from seeds treated with EMFAR exceeded those of plants grown from untreated seeds. The proposed methods will incre-ase the productive potential of wheat by improving the water- and energy-supply of plants (percent of germination, growth and yield parameters).
