“…consistent with those reported by Carbonell et al [27] and Al-Khazan et al [28], who found that irrigation with magnetic-treated water significantly increased plant uptake of both cations and immobile nutrients. There was no significant effect of magnetic-treated water on P and K uptake of cotton seedlings.…”

A hydroponic experiment was carried out to investigate the effects of magnetic water irrigation on the growth, nutritional status and antioxidant enzyme activity of cotton seedlings. Four levels of magnetic-treated water irrigation (0, 100, 300 and 500 mT) and three levels of salt stress (0, 100 and 200 mM NaCl) were applied. Salt stress adversely affected the dry weight, nutrient uptake and antioxidant enzyme activities of cotton seedlings. Magnetic-treated water irrigation significantly increased cotton seedling dry weight. Cotton seedling dry weight increased by 14%, 22% and 29% under the treatments of 100, 300 and 500 mT magnetic water irrigation, respectively, compared with the control, at a salt stress level of 100 mM NaCl. Moreover, magnetic water irrigation improved N uptake, but did not significantly affect P and K uptake. Magnetic water irrigation significantly increased the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD) and the proline content compared to the control (0 mT). Irrigation with magnetic water could be a promising technique in agriculture, especially under salt stress conditions. A suitable magnetic intensity of 300 mT is recommended.

“…Relative capacity of seed germination was also highest for seeds treated with simultaneously subjected to magnetic field stimulation and watered with magnetically treated water samples stimulated for 15 and 30 s, for higher flow revalations 3x and 10x. Studies conducted by other authors, upon magnetic water treatment with the application of water flow magnetizers allowed for the achievement of improved emergence, a significant boost in seed yields (Carbonell et al, 2004). For ground tomato seeds, in studies on Petri dishes and pickles during potting trials (Pietruszewski et al, 2007), the best results were also obtained for induction B = 150 mT at 3 and 10 times the number of flows between electromagnet pole pieces.…”

A b s t r a c t. The impact of a variable magnetic field, magnetically treated water and a combination of both these factors on the germination of seeds and the final mass at the initial stage of growth sunflower plants was presented. Investigations were carried out in pots filled with sand, tin an air-conditioned plant house with no access to daylight using fluorescent light as illumination. A statistical significance positive impact was achieved for the samples subjected to the interaction of both stimulating factors simultaneously, the magnetic field and the impact of treated water several times on the speed of seed germination and final plant mass. Negative impacts were obtained for the majority of the test cases, for the magnetically treated water, the short duration of activity of the magnetic field and for the connection of the magnetic field and low-flow times.K e y w o r d s: seed stimulation, magnetic field, magnetically treated water

Magnetic field is considered a simple and cheap method for stimulation of germination process compared to traditional chemical processes. In this research, laboratory experiment was conducted at Seed Technology Unit, Mansoura, Egypt to evaluate the effect of magnetic field on germination, seedling growth and cytogenetic characters of fresh and carry over (old) onion seeds (c.v.Giza Red). Seeds were magnetically pretreated by different magnetic field (0.03 or 0.06 T) using static magnetic device for different periods time (30, 60 and 90 mint). The obtained results indicated that magnetic field treatment increased all germination and seedling growth characters compared with control. Exposed fresh and carry over seeds to 0.06 T with 30 mint gave the heights values of germination percentage, germination rate, speed germination index and seedling growth parameters, that is, seedling length, seedling dry weight, seedling vigor I and seedling vigor II. Whereas, mean germination time was decreased using 0.03 T with 60 mint gave maximum values in carry over seeds and with 60 min in new seeds. Also, the results showed significant increase in mitotic activity and chromosomal aberration after 30 min treatments for both doses of fresh seeds and with 0.06 T of carry over seeds, while relative division rate (RDR) gave positive values and little disturbance in mitotic phase index. However, the percentage of mitotic abnormalities increased after all exposure treatments. It could be concluded that utilization of magnetic field could enhancement of germination of onion seeds but we need to be carry out more experiments to make magnetic map for all varieties of onion.
