Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine the characteristics of the effect of different levels of electromagnetic radiation on biometric indicators and yields of major agricultural crops, such as wheat, corn, and soybeans. The study was conducted on samples of wheat, corn, and soybeans grown in agroclimatic conditions of the Kharkiv region. The cultures were exposed to radiation in the range from 50 to 200 Hz using special equipment. The main measurements included analysis of biometric characteristics: plant height, leaf count, root system mass, morbidity index, and overall yield. The results showed that low levels of electromagnetic radiation stimulated wheat growth, increasing yields by 12-15%, and also increasing the number of leaves by 10-12%. For corn, the effect of radiation was positive, in particular, there was an increase in the mass of the root system by 18% and a decrease in the morbidity index by 15%. Soybeans showed the greatest response to radiation, with an increase in growth by 19.23%, root system mass by 25%, and a decrease in the incidence index by 15-20%. The results of the study indicate the potential for using controlled electromagnetic radiation to increase the productivity of individual crops, especially soybeans in difficult agroclimatic conditions. The data obtained can be useful for the development of new technologies in the field of agriculture aimed at increasing yields, contributing to the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals, and providing a more environmentally friendly approach to increasing crop yields and sustainability
