“…Germination curves show the earlier germination process and higher germination rate; curves of treated seeds are lightly displaced towards the left side rate. Furthermore, the final percentage of seeds is higher than control seeds (Carbonell et al 2011). The positive effects on plants characteristics such as seed germination rate, shoot development, length and weight of plants and yield is reported by numerous authors.…”

“…Both 125 and 250 mT MFs stimulated the initial growth of pea seedlings, mainly if continuously exposed to MF, and a 99 and 97 % increase in stem length and a 67 and 58 % increase in total seedling length at 125 and 250 mT, respectively, were detected after 7 days. After 10 days, total length of seedlings was 14 and 13 % higher and total weight was 53 % higher than in the control treatment (Carbonell et al 2011). In experiments with tomato (Martínez et al 2009), when the exposure period exceeded 1 min, the mean germination time was also significantly reduced (from 117.6 to 110.4-113.04 h), depending on the field strength and exposure period.…”

This review provides detailed insight on the effects of magnetic fields on germination, growth, development, and yield of plants focusing on ex vitro growth and development and discussing the possible physiological and biochemical responses. The MFs considered in this review range from the nanoTesla (nT) to geomagnetic levels, up to very strong MFs greater than 15 Tesla (T) and also super-weak MFs (near 0 T). The theoretical bases of the action of MFs on plant growth, which are complex, are not discussed here and thus far, there is limited mathematical background about the action of MFs on plant growth. MFs can positively influence the morphogenesis of several plants which allows them to be used in practical situations. MFs have thus far been shown to modify seed germination and affect seedling growth and development in a wide range of plants, including field, fodder, and industrial crops; cereals and pseudo-cereals; grasses; herbs and medicinal plants; horticultural crops (vegetables, fruits, ornamentals); trees; and model crops. This is important since MFs may constitute a non-residual and non-toxic stimulus. In addition to presenting and summarizing the effects of MFs on plant growth and development, we also provide possible physiological and biochemical explanations for these responses including stress-related responses of plants, explanations based on dia-, para-, and ferromagnetism, oriented movements of substances, and cellular and molecular changes.

“…Cakmak et al (2010) observed that the application of magnetic field doses of 4 mT and 7 mT promoted germination ratios of bean and wheat seeds. Carbonell et al (2011) reported that treated pea plants grew higher and heavier than control; the greatest differences were observed for seeds treated with doses of 125 mT and 250 mT, for 24 h or permanent. Florez et al (2007) observed an stimulation on the growth of maize seeds exposed to 125 and 250 mT stationary magnetic field.…”
