The experiment was conducted in Mitscherlich pots. Before sowing, the seed of winter wheat was a subjected to a single exposure to the pulsating electromagnetic field (PEMF) at different frequencies: 8, 15, 30 and 72 Hz. The duration of exposure was variable 30, 60, and 90 minutes. Observation made during the growing season, analyses of yield and yield components and comparations with the untreated (control) revealed significant, mostly positive differences with regard. The highest number of grain per spike and mass of 1000 grain was recorded with treatment 30 Hz and 30 minutes. Electromagnetic field offer great possibilities with respect to targeting certain desirable traits in plants, but all advantages and disadvantages of their application must be indentified.
