Effectiveness of Electron Radiation Application for Preseep Treatment of Spring Wheat

The influence of presowing low-energy electron irradiation on the damage to the seeds of spring wheat varieties Setora with diseases and on the sowing quality of seeds was studied. It has been shown that presowing irradiation of seeds effectively reduces incidence by pathogens Bipolaris sorokiniana, Fusarium sp. and Penicillium sp. and their prevalence depending on the radiation dose, dose rate and post-radiation period, stimulates laboratory germination, increases dry biomass, seedling length and seedling root length.
