abstract: The aim of the research was to qualify the degree to which pre-sowing laser stimulation, used in seeds, has an influence on sowing value and early development phases in different forms of corn, one of the most valuable cultivated plants. As a result of the conducted experiment, different reaction of tested hybrid forms of corn on pre-sowing laser stimulation was observed. To sum up, the laser irradiation applied may be a factor increasing the sowing value and accelerating early development phases in selected forms of corn.
