INFLUENCE OF CLIMATE CONDITIONS AND ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION ON THE PRODUCTIVITY OF THE BUCKWHEAT (FAGOPYRUM ESCULENTUM MOENCH.) IN BELARUS

Abstract

The influence of climatic conditions from 2017 to 2019 years and pre-sowing treatment with low-intensity electromagnetic radiation (EMR) in three modes (R), which differ in the exposure time of 20, 12 and 8 minutes on the sowing quality of seeds and the formation of productivity elements of the diploid buckwheat Kupava variety (Fagopyrum esculentum Moench.) is discussed in the article. Seed treatment was carried out at the Institute of Nuclear Problems of BSU. It was revealed that climatic conditions had a significant impact on germination, plant height, the number of productive shoots and the mass of 1000 seeds. The shifts after exposure by the EMR regimes in the parameters under discussion depended on the year of research. The additive effect of the individual EMR modes and climatic conditions on the formation of productivity elements of these buckwheat Kupava variety was established in 2018. The most optimal regime of EMR exposure for the Kupava variety of buckwheat which can be proposed in the technology of its industrial cultivation was revealed in the Republic of Belarus.
