abstract The method for a quantitative determination of the laser irradiation dose supplied to the seed surface during the advance laser biostimulation of seeds prior to sowing is presented. Two, the most common laser irradiation geometries are discussed: the first, when seeds move with a constant speed, and the other where seeds freely fall down with acceleration characteristic for the gravity over illuminated area. Simple equations for calculating a laser irradiation dose are presented.
