Effects of 660 Nm Laser Irradiation of Soybean Seeds on Germination, Emergence and Seedling Growth

" The light dose of 1.6 J cm^–2 (t = 457.14 s) significantly increased the germination percentage (5.5%), dry mass (58%) and emergence rate (29%) of normal seedlings and reduced the mean emergence time by 10%, while a dose of 3.2 J cm^–2 (t = 914.28 s) significantly increased the dry mass (84%) and emergence rate (13%) at p-value ≤ 0.05." {Credits 1}
