abstract: Seeds of white clover of the ANDA variety were irradiated with divergent He-Ne laser bundle and sown on Petrie glass. The experiment was repeated 4 times. The seedlings were left to germinate for 7 days at a constant temperature (20oC±1oC). The number of seedlings germinated properly, abnormally, hard, and fungi infected was estimated. He-Ne laser stimulation resulted in an increase in the number of seedlings perminating properly, a decrease in the number of hard seeds, and only a slight increase in the number of seedlings infected by fungi.
