The exploiting of agronomic potential of UV-C irradiation for increasing the pre-sowing qualities of the carrot seeds

The present study investigates the effect of UV-C irradiation in the pre-sowing treatment of different carrot seeds varieties. It was established the UV-C radiation at doses of 120-150 J/m2 has a positive effect on carrot seeds, since the germination increases by more than 27%. The decreasing in growth parameters of several times is observed at doses of UV radiation above 200-250 J/m2. Laboratory studies were confirmed by the results obtained in the field, in which the seeds germination irradiated with a dose of 120 J/m2, was higher by 43% when compared to control samples.
