Microwave techniques in agriculture

Abstract

Bio-electromagnetic technologies can use both stimulant and oppressive properties of electromagnetic field in different branches of agriculture. New technologies are characterized by an enormous resource saving, are ecologically clean and low-cost, optimize the needed electromagnetic effect results, are stable and can be used for a remote action on the objects to be transformed.

Microwave heating by high-power electromagnetic field opens specific opportunities to heat agricultural raw materials. Such a heating can not be obtained by applying traditional techniques. We also determined the unique features of low-power electromagnetic field in order to obtain promising scientific results on their influence on the components of living organisms. The techniques of both directions are given. The materials of our investigation and the data of the technical equipment can be used in research and business. Alive cells of plants and animals and their functions show great biological similarity.

Obtained results can be used also in veterinary and medicine. We have accumulated great amount of material for the monograph "Electromagnetic techniques applications in oncology, AIDS studies, regeneration and agriculture" (to be published).

All sessions in this conference are of great significance for increasing efficiency of bio-electromagnetic technologies, especially in view of importance of non-linear effects in electromagnetic field interaction with biological objects.
