METHOD FOR INCREASING ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITY OF RADISH SEEDLINGS Russian patent published in 2020 - IPC A01G31/00 A01C1/00 

FIELD: agriculture.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the field of agriculture, in particular to plant growing, and can be used in selection during selection of perspective genotypes of plants, responsive to artificial LED lighting, using agrobiotechnological systems, in agrobiophotonics and in technologies for production of sprouted radish gardening and its microgreens for healthy alimentation. Moistened seeds of plants under standard conditions of hydroponics and use of nutrient solutions are illuminated with light-emitting diodes at intensity of generated photons in 260-270 mcmol/m²s in closed climatic chamber. Quantitative characteristic of the light flux as per its wave lengths: ultraviolet 380 nm - 1.5%, blue 440 nm - 23.8%, green 520-530 nm - 6%, red 640 nm - 61.5%, far red light 740 nm - 7.2%. Lighting is implemented starting from 4th day from sowing of seeds during the whole sprouting stage and growth of sprouts till 18th day to produce microgreens during this period.

EFFECT: method enables higher quality of microgreens by antioxidant activity.
