Abstract

Engineering Engineering, Electrical & Electronic Science & Technology Technology
We report on the effects of RF/MW on plants. Green Mint plant exposed to different levels of radiation (from 0.5 to 10.5 mu W/cm(2)) for this purpose. A USB2000 spectrophotometer was used to record fluorescence signals from intact leaves. Spectroscopic data (P.I.R and A.R) together with vegetative data (leaf dimensions and weight), revealed stressing effects on plant due to RF/MW in all groups except the control which was free of exposure.
