 abstract={The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of pre-sowing seed stimulation of Thuringian Mallow (Lavatera thuringiaca L.) with He-Ne laser light of different exposure times on the crop yield as well as on energetic parameters such as calorific value and combustion heat. Seeds were subjected to laser light with an exposition time of 0, 1, 5, 10, 15 and 30 minutes. Measurements were carried out independently on mature plants from the first and second vegetation year. The results varied between the samples, which indicated possible impact of laser radiation on the resultant weight and calorific value of various experimental combinations. For plants from the second vegetation year the statistical differences in calorific value, combustion heat and crop mass were found between samples characterized by different exposition times: between sample irradiated for 30 min (L30) and 1 min (L1) as well as between sample L30 and sample irradiated for 5 minutes (L5). For plants after the first vegetation year the statistically significant differences in calorific value and combustion heat were found for sample with exposition time of 15 minutes (L15) and control sample, for sample L15 and sample L5 as well as between samples L15 and L30. For all the samples from the second vegetation year the increase in combustion heat and calorific values were detected as compared to control. Thus, after the application of certain parameters of laser radiation to the processing of seeds, the plant can be more useful for energetic purposes through more efficient crop.},
