This paper presents the results of laboratory studies on a pre-sowing electrical treatment method aimed at enhancing the germination capacity of corn seeds. The study investigates an electrotechnological approach based on the application of ultraviolet radiation (UVR), in which the effect is achieved through the electrical stimulation of seeds. An analysis was conducted to determine the optimal treatment parameters, including ultraviolet wavelength, exposure distance, and irradiation duration applied prior to sowing. The results identify favorable combinations of these parameters that contribute to improved germination performance and early seedling development.
