METHOD OF STIMULATION OF GERMINATION OF GOURDS SEEDS Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC A01C1/00 

FIELD: agriculture.

SUBSTANCE: method of stimulation of germination of gourds seeds comprises soaking the seeds in the electrochemically activated water, followed by germination. Soaking of the seeds is carried out for 2-3 hours in the anolyte or catholyte with the indicators of quality - pH 4.0-4.7 and 9.5…10.5; redox potential +600 - +700 mV and - 400 -… 500 mV, respectively . At the same time the source tap water is used with a pH of 6.5…7.5, redox potential +200…+300 mV, the total mineralization of 200-300 mg/l. Electrochemical activation is carried out at a flow rate of catholyte and anolyte 2.8-4.5 l/h and a current density of 50-120 A/m².

EFFECT: use of the invention enables to improve seed germination effectiveness.
