  • ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT TREATMENTS FOR INCREASING SEED YIELDS
    Publication number: 20120042419
    Abstract: UV light treatment increases harvested seed yield. UV treatment in combination with chemical treatment also increases seed yield. UV treatment of corn, soybean, and wheat varieties resulted in enhanced harvested seed yield. Hormetic response, disinfection, disinfestations, and other factors are induced by UV treatments.

  • Enhancing yields of harvested plant seeds by treating sowing seeds with selected doses of a physical plant stressor
    Patent number: 8001722
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of enhancing the yield of harvested seed in plants by the application of selected doses of a physical plant stressor such as UV-C light (253.7 nm), X-rays, gamma ray, and electron beam irradiation to sowing seeds. This method can be used alone to enhance seed yield or in combination with standard seed treatments.
