[Effect of the low frequency physical factors on seeds].
The influence of weak low frequency (50 Hz-10 kHz) physical factors: sound, alternating electric current and impulse light on the germination and root growth rate of barley corns was estimated. Several mechanisms of this effect were proposed: change in penetration of membranes, in enzymes and microflora activity. The dependence between the germination activity of corn and the frequency was represented in the form of universal curve--"Low Frequency Activity Spectrum".
