METHOD FOR ACTIVATING GERMINATION OF ABYSSINIAN NOUGAT SEEDS Russian patent published in 2021 - IPC A01C1/00 F21K9/00 A01G7/04 B82Y99/00 

FIELD: agriculture.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to agriculture, in particular to plant growing. Method includes the use of lighting. The seeds are pretreated with an aqueous sol of 0.001% hydrothermal nanosilica for 120 minutes, followed by sowing and germination of seeds on a substrate. Watering is carried out with distilled water as the substrate dries for 7 days under continuous illumination with blue light LEDs with a wavelength of 440 nm, or green light LEDs with a wavelength of 525 nm, or red light LEDs with a wavelength of 660 nm. Moreover, for all sources, a mode of low intensity of generated photons is used in the range of 1.44-6.52 mcM/(m²⋅s) at the level of the substrate with seeds.

EFFECT: expands the possibilities of using LED lighting in the version of monochromatic spectra of blue, green and red light in combination with treatment before seed germination with nanoparticles of silica of hydrothermal origin to increase the germination of Abyssinian nougat seeds, the productivity of its sprouts in the phase of 7-day germination.
