Magnetic water treatment (MWT) techniques have shown promising potentials in different areas specially agriculture. Safety, compatibility and simplicity, environmentally friendliness, low operating cost and not proven harmful effects are the main advantages of electromagnetic field (EMF) over conventional methods for water treatment. Magnetized or magnetic water (MW) possesses unique physical and chemical characteristics making it a multi-purpose compound with potential benefits in medical treatment, industrial as well as environmental applications. The unique physical and electrochemical characteristics of MW have attracted research interests to develop different devices and techniques in agricultural and environmental applications. Improvements of irrigation water quality and quantity, crop yields and quality, soil improvement and water saving are some of the reported benefits of MWT in agriculture. In addition, magnetic field treatments have shown beneficial effects on the germination of seeds, plant growth and development, the ripening and yield of field crops. The main challenge in applications of MW in agriculture is efficient integrating of irrigation components, designing suitable pumps compatible with technical and field requirements of magnetic MWT systems. The present study reviews the applications of MW in agricultures. The practical challenges in using MW as well as future perspective are discussed.
