Assessment of impact of coherent light on resistance of plants growing in unfavourable environmental conditions

The results of experiments on the effect of the coherent light emitted by lasers on plant material show that properly selected laser stimulation parameters, such as: wavelength, power, time and type of exposure, allow to obtain a greater growth of plant biomass, changes in the content of elements in the biomass and increasing plant resistance to unfavorable environmental conditions. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of laser stimulation on selected plant species (Iris pseudoacorus L., Lemna minor L.) to increase their resistance to low temperatures and the ability to adapt to an environment polluted by mining activities (Phelum pratense L.). Plants from experimental groups (Iris pseudoacorus L., Phelum pratense L., Lemna minor L.) were stimulated with coherent light with specific characteristics. To irradiate plants from experimental groups different algorithms of stimulation parameters, differentiating the method and time of exposure were used. Plants group without the stimulation, were the reference group. The article discusses the results of preliminary experiments carried out on a laboratory scale and pot experiments.
