“…Plants irrigated with magnetically-treated water grew taller than those irrigated with untreated water when plants were sampled at 30, 37, 43, 50, 57, 63, and 72 d after transplanting, averaged over all levels of salinity. Similarly, the height of tomato plants irrigated with magnetically-treated water was significantly higher than plants irrigated with untreated water [34]. Using magnetized irrigation water also improved plant stem diameter and plant fresh and dry weight.…”

Salinity is an abiotic stress that reduces the seed germination and productivity of tomatoes. Magnetic treatment has been shown to have a positive effect on the seed germination, seedling growth, and productivity of various crop species. Therefore, three experiments were conducted to evaluate whether treating saline water or seeds with a magnetic field can improve the seed germination and productivity of tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum) under salinity stress. To evaluate seed germination and seedling growth in response to a magnetic field, two laboratory experiments were carried out by passing four saline water solutions of NaCl (0, 5, 10, and 15 dS/m) through a magnetic field (3.5–136 mT) or exposing tomato seeds to the same magnetic field for 20 min before sowing. In a greenhouse experiment, plants were irrigated with different magnetically-treated and untreated saline water solutions to evaluate plant growth. Magnetic treatment of water or seeds improved seed germination percentage, speed of germination (lower mean time to germination), and seedling length and dry weight in the two laboratory experiments, especially under salinity stress of 5 and 10 dS/m. As the salinity level increased, germination performance and plant growth were significantly decreased. Irrigating tomato plants with magnetically-treated water improved plant height, stem diameter, and fruit yield per plant compared to untreated water, especially under salinity of 0 and 5 dS/m. In conclusion, magnetic treatment of saline water or seeds improved germination performance, plant growth, and fruit yield of tomatoes under saline conditions.

T WO field experiments were carried out at Sakha Agricultural Research Station, Kafr El-Sheikh Governorate during the two growing seasons 2015/2016 and 2016 to investigate the effect of irrigation regimes and soil amendments on some soil properties, some water relations and yields of wheat and maize. The experiments were conducted in strip block design with three replicates. The most important findings can be summarized as follows: Irrigation at 40% depletion of available soil moisture received the highest amount of irrigation requirements, consumed water and stored water. The highest values of irrigation application efficiency and water consumptive use efficiency were recorded with irrigation treatment at 55% depletion of available soil moisture (I 2) during two growing seasons. Water productivity (WP) and productivity of irrigation water (PIW), were recorded highest values under (I 2) for maize crop. While the highest values of WP and PIW for wheat and maize were achieved from the interaction between irrigation treatment (I 2) and soil amendments. The electric conductivity, sodium adsorption ratio, exchangeable sodium percentage were clearly improved and reducing of soil bulk density and increasing soil basic infiltration rate with application of soil amendments. Irrigation treatments and soil amendments have highly significant effect on increasing of yield of wheat and maize. Economic evaluation recorded the highest values of total income, net income, economic efficiency and net income from water unit with application of compost at rate of 5 ton fed-1 under I 2 for wheat and maize crops.

“…The study found that the stem diameter did not change when watering pear plants with magnetized water. In contrast, different results obtained on other crops such as corn (Alattar, Elwasife, Radwan, & Abuassi, 2019), mustard plants (Jogi, Dharmale, Dudhare, & Aware, 2015), tomatoes (Yusuf & Ogunlela, 2015;. They showed that watering plants with magnetized water positively affected stem diameter.…”

Many factors affect plant growth and development, such as exposure to electromagnetic radiation (Alattar, Alwasife, & Radwan, 2020) and magnetic fields (Podleśna, Bojarszczuk, & Podleśny, 2019). Many studies have extensively studied the direct exposure to plants or their seeds to magnetic fields from the past years. However, little has interested in the impact of magnetized water on the growth characteristics of plants. Passing water through a magnetic field resulted in producing magnetized water (Higashitani, Kage, Katamura, Imai, & Hatade, 1993). The previous studies revealed that a low magnetic field could alter the water to be magnetized (Ji, Xie, & Liu, 2007). As a result of magnetization, water properties, including physical, chemical, physicochemical, and biophysical properties, change such as salt solution capacity, density, viscosity, freezing and boiling points, surface tension, electrical conductivity, ARTICLE INFO
