RESULTS OF THE PRE-SOWING ELECTROMAGNETIC TREATMENTS OF SEEDS FROM BULGARIAN PEPPER VARIETY

Gabriela Antonova-Karacheva, Kiril Sirakov

Abstract


The study has established a continuing beneficial impact of electromagnetic treatments on seeds of Bulgarian peppers variety Kurtovska kapia 1 after 365 days storage to sowing at a voltage between the electrodes U=6 kV and duration of impact τ = 35 s. The germinating energy and laboratory germination increase compared to that of the control seeds of 4.6 to 5.2%. 


Keywords
