METHOD FOR ACTIVATING THE GERMINATION OF RAPESEED SEEDS IN ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT Russian patent published in 2021 - IPC A01C1/00 A01G7/04 

FIELD: agriculture.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the field of agriculture, in particular to plant growing. The method includes lighting with LEDs in the ultraviolet region of the spectrum. The seeds are pretreated with an aqueous sol of hydrothermal nanosilica at a concentration of 0.01% for 120 minutes, followed by sowing and germination under standard conditions of temperature and seed moisture for 7 days. Further, at the level of the substrate with the seeds, continuous illumination with LEDs of monochromatic ultraviolet light with a wavelength of 380 nm and a low intensity of generated photons of 0.44 mcmol / m²⋅s. is carried out.

EFFECT: method makes it possible to expand the possibilities of using LED lighting in the variant of monochromatic radiation of the ultraviolet region of the light spectrum in combination with treatment before germination of rape seeds with nanoparticles of silica of hydrothermal origin to increase the germination energy and germination of seeds, the height and productivity of shoots in the phase of 7-day germination.
