Abstract. The consequences of global climate change demonstrate regional differences within the Russian Federation, while local risks can be observed within one region by sectors and types of agricultural activities. In this regard, the adaptation of the agro-industrial complex to climate change, the development and implementation of innovative agrobiotechnological solutions, should be aimed at reducing food losses and at the formation and preservation of technological and physiological characteristics of grain crops. The purpose of this study was to study the effectiveness of using dual-type non-thermal effects to regulate the physiological and technological properties of Triticum aestivum L. grain for food and fodder purposes. The scientific novelty is due to the proven effectiveness of using non-thermal dual-type effects to regulate the physiological and technological properties of wheat grain of the Triticum aestivum L. genus. Research methods include an in silico strategy based on quantum chemical calculations to determine the localization of molecular orbitals and enzyme activity. As a result of using non-thermal dual-type methods, it is possible to regulate physiological processes in grain while maintaining its technological properties and biosecurity. It has been established that the combined use of cold plasma and ultraviolet irradiation provides a synergistic effect, surpassing the effectiveness of either treatment alone in terms of key grain quality indicators. The data obtained demonstrate the potential of integrating dual non-thermal technologies into agrobiotechnological processes for pre-sowing preparation and post-harvest processing of grain crops in a changing climate. The developed approaches provide a scientific basis for developing recommendations for adapting grain production to the extreme climatic conditions of the Ural region while minimizing losses of food and feed grain.
