The quality of grain and seed depends on many factors, namely: agro-climatic conditions, sowing condition of the seed material, quality characteristics of the soil, yielding properties of seeds, pre-sowing seed treatment. etc. This article presents the effectiveness of the use of infrared irradiation  and ultraviolet radiation for the pre-sowing treatment of winter wheat seeds in Sekobra Research, Germany.

Thus, according to the experimental studies, it can be concluded that pre-sowing treatment of winter wheat seeds with infrared radiation lamp IKZK-250 and ultraviolet discharge lamp DRT-400  improves sowing qualities and stimulates the growth of seedlings. The highest rates of germination energy and germination of seeds were observed by treating the seeds with IR radiation for 45 sec, with UVR  radiation for 20 sec. The results were 97.3 and 100% respectively. The highest growth parameters were observed in the case of 60 seconds treatment, the aboveground part of the seedling increased by 37.3% compared to the standard, and the underground part - 91.7%. The results obtained indicate the prospect of pre-sowing winter wheat seed UVR  radiation.
