Different chemical additives are used for rising productivity of plants. Their
application causes the contamination of raw materials of food production with toxins
that is dangerous for consumer’s health. On-farm safety for fresh production needs
developing and implementing new methods for quality assurance. Experiments were
conducted to investigate the effects of microwave radiation on germination and
growth rate in seeds. In the present paper, the bioeffects of 2.45GHZ with 900W
output power have been used. Chickpea seeds experimented for different exposure
time (10, 20, 30,60seconds). Average length of plant recorded and compared with
control seeds. Average length increase with exposure time increase up to 30sec.
compared with control seeds.
Keywords: Microwave Radation, Growth Stimulation, Chickpea Seed
