## 3 Results and Discussion
### Constant Electric Field  
There was a clear effect of the constant electric field on the morphophysiological characteristics with the exposure time. At 10 min of exposure, in most cases, the morphophysiological characteristics were higher than at 1 min. On the third day of development, the seedlings showed root and shoot lengths close to those of the control plants, but they \begin{table}

showed a lower mass both in the roots and in the shoots. On the seventh day, the length of the root system was greater than that of the control, and that of the shoot was lower than that of the control. On the ninth day, there was no difference from the control variant. From the point of view of relative frost resistance, the opposite exposure effect was observed. The action of the electric field at an exposure time of 1 min increased the relative frost resistance in the entire range of freezing temperatures. At 10 min of exposure, there was no effect. The action of the constant electric field was not combined with the use of the disinfectant.
