Usage of microwave technologies in agriculture is of great scientific interest, and it is also a practical issue that might have an important economic value. It is experimentally proved that biological objects specifically react to electromagnetic fields so that such reactions might take place on different structural levels - molecular, cellular and in living body in whole. There, substances may be synthesized that affect the immune system of the body, EM field exposition results in activation of biosynthesis - accelerates the rate of cell division, the recovery of their functions and so on. When saying "EM field of the UHF range" we refer to 1-100 GHz frequency range where there is a full set of active and passive components to carry out research on the problem of nonthermal biological effects of EM field.
