In order to increase maize productivity with environmentally friendly techniques, the effect of
electromagnetic irradiation on seed vigour of maize hybrids, as well as the response of each …

Laser light has many applications in agriculture, but there is still much work to provide
scientific evidence of its potential use as an alternative for the control of diseases originating …

The knowledge about a seed's optical parameters is of great relevance in the seed
technology practice. Such parameters provide information about its absorption and …

The paper presents a study on the effects of low intensity laser irradiation on morphological
changes in plants sprouted from maize hybrid seeds (two hybrids) and wheat seeds. Pre …

We review the literature concerning the effects of laser light on organisms (insects) and
microorganisms (bacteria, viruses, fungi) present in agri-food systems. The evidence …
