Acceleration of growth and development of green crops and seedlings due to electrical stimulation of plants

Abstract

Artificial irradiation in protected ground structures is use for growing seedlings and for breeding purposes. Despite the increase in the cost of seedlings, additional lighting is effective, since it increases the yield by 20 … 30% and accelerates its production by 10 … 15 days [1]. Electrostimulation of plants of this development is carried out by intensifying plant growth by creating an optimal spectrum and regulating lighting depending on the actual natural illumination, automatic spectrum control for various plants, and irrigation system. The effectiveness of the development is to improve the useful properties of plants, reduce the cost of caring for them, which allows you to engage in a family business. The disadvantage of this installation is the need for high labor costs due to growing plants without taking into account the objective need for timely watering with foliar spray with a nutrient solution or timely feeding of the nutrient solution directly into the ground, depending on the soil moisture. In addition, the method does not provide for the cultivation of tomato seedlings in the presence of objective control of insufficient illumination in winter, requiring additional illumination for the required period of time with a certain duration for the effectiveness of the process.
