[An evaluation of the biological action of increased doses of EMI in the UV range on the functional state and productivity of sheep]. / Otsenka biologicheskogo deistviia povyshennykh doz EMI UF-diapazona na funktsional'noe sostoianie i produktivnost' ovets.

The effect of increased UV-radiation doses modeling 25 and 50% of ozone layer depletion on sheep's organisms was studied in the field experiment. The character of changes in animal organisms was found to depend on irradiation doses, sensitivity of individual system of living organism to electromagnetic radiation and physiological peculiarities of protection.

[The effect of chronic UVB-irradiation on the growth, development and productivity of fodder beet]. / Vliianie khronicheskogo UF-oblucheniia zony B na rost, razvitie i produktivnost' kormovoi svekly.

In a field study in 1989, the effect of additional UV-B-irradiation (with an intensity of 0.34, 0.49 or 0.77 W/m2, daily exposure of 17.3, 26.7 or 39.1 kJ/m2, and total exposure of 1457.3, 2248.8 or 3285.6 kJ/m2) on the growth, development and productivity of fodder beet var. Eckendorf yellow was investigated. The three levels of irradiation caused a delay of plant growth and a significant reduction of plant height (18-26%), air-dry weight of leaves (32-43%), wet weight of leaves (48-52%), and weight of root-crops (48-50%).
