Three wheat varieties have been tested for the effect of low-frequency electromagnetic waves on their initial growth. Each variety was exposed to the waves of different frequencies. After treatment, seeds were germinated and plants were grown in water solution. The obtained results indicate that each frequency has a specific effect on root mass and aboveground part mass. When the variety Kremna was treated for improved root development, differences in mass were significant, 6.75 g per plant in fresh mass and 0.07 g per plant in dry mass, or 31.0 and 22.6%, respectively. Similar results were obtained for the variety Tera, 14.3 and 17.8%, respectively. When the varieties were treated for improved development of the aboveground part, there were no significant differences in root mass. Root masses of the treated variety Nevesinjka, were significantly higher than those in the control, by 28.6, respectively. Difference in the mass of the aboveground part was 14.3, respectively. In the varieties Kremna and Tera, at frequencies for improved development of the aboveground part, the differences were 7.3 and 22.1%, respectively.
