Alginate with the weight-average molecular weight ( $_{rm w}$ ) approximately 900 kDa and ratio of M (mannuronate)/G (guluronate) about 1.3 was irradiated by Co-60 in aqueous solution at doses up to 200 kGy. The irradiation dose was shown to be a function for reducing $_{rm w}$ and molecular weight distribution of irradiated alginates. The distribution of oligomer fractions in irradiated products was also investigated by separation using ultrafiltration membranes. The irradiated alginate with $_{rm w}$ approximately 14.2 kDa was found to have a positive influence for growing of barley and soybean. The irradiated oligoalginate fraction with $_{rm w}$ ranging from 1 to 3 kDa displayed the strongest effect on the growth and development of the mentioned plants at low concentration (20 ppm). It is suggested that oligoalginate with $_{rm w}$ in the range 1-3 kDa is a trigger for the growth and development of plants.
