The biometric methods such as ANOVA and comparative analysis were applied to investigation of growth dynamics for Lepidium sativum L. under control conditions after the morning and the evening laser photo-activation of its seeds. It is established that laser irradiation at the evening period reduces the time of seeds germination for 10–12 hours in comparison with the morning one. Out of the investigated factors effecting growth parameters, namely regime of laser irradiation (uninterrupted or scanned), period of irradiating and duration of growth, the variation of growth speed on the sequential time intervals is dominating. The effect of scanned irradiation is more strong than uninterrupted one. The influence of time period of seed photo-activation and sowing is statistically significant only in interaction with other investigated factors.
