The measurements of the pulse broadening T_sc due to interstellar scattering on 23 pulsars at 30, 40, 60 and 103 MHz by using radiotelescopes in Pushchino (Russia) are presented. For a number of available pulsars the frequency dependence T_sc(f) = kf(alpha ) , where power alpha =4.3 - 4.8 for different sources, was obtained. Dispersion measure (DM) dependence of scattering is steeper significantly, than the expected slope for simple models of medium. For all observed pulsars in DM interval 20 - 250 pc cm(-3) averaged value T_sc(DM) = 0.06 DM({3.0) +/- 0.2} (mu s), evaluated to 103 MHz. For not very distant pulsars with DM la 100 (16 pulsars) DM dependence even more steeper: T_sc(DM) = 0.002 DM({3.8) +/- 0.3} (mu s). These results are consistent with the relations, obtained by Cordes et al. (ApJ.,1985,v288,221) and Alurkar et al. (Aust.J.Phys.,1986,v39,433) at more higher frequencies and show also that spectrum of interstellar plasma turbulence cannot be represented by a simple power law.
