Abstracts
It is established that coherence of light is a significant parameter of an equipment implement of agrotechnologies using monochromatic (quasi-monochromatic) radiation. Brief irradiation of apples with high-coherence light reduced fruit losses during storage and with low-coherence light intensifies fungal infection of fruits. The photostimulation effect is most expressed in cells whose size doesn’t exceed the length of field coherence. For most plants the given condition is realized at a width of the spectral line of quasi-monochromatic radiation less than 25 nm.
