Abstract
The effect of a weak electromagnetic field (36 GHz, 1 mu Wt) on the morphog enesis of planarians Dugesia tigrina was studied. The asexual reproduction of planarians (fission) served as an experimental model, It was shown that wave radiation changes the dynamics of: fission in planarians, The effect w as unstable and varied with season: the wave irradiation stimulated the fis sion in spring and summer an inhibited it in winter, No effect of electroma gnetic field was observed between these two periods, in autumn and early sp ring.
