ANALYSIS OF THE EFFECTS OF ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION ON PLANTS DEVELOPMENT

Abstract

<p>The population growth of the last decades has created the need to look for new ways to increase the productivity of crops. Knowing this, several studies began to be carried out in order to analyze the influence of electromagnetic radiation on the development of plants. With that in mind, the present work presents an experiment carried out to analyze the influence of the irradiation of an electromagnetic wave of 2.3625 GHz in the development of a corn crop by comparing the growth of this plant exposed to this extra radiation with another that is only exposed to the ambient radiation. The results demonstrate that the plant exposed to the radiation set at a specified frequency has a decrease in root size. </p&gt
