“…This area is a sub branch of Electric Culture Technology that includes the effect of all sources dependant to emissions of waves including electricity, light, sound and magnetism and can increase its rate of growth, performance and quality and the energy generated by this system produces more products in less time with less labor and less cost while protecting plants against natural enemies (Nelson, 1999). Studies have shown that increasing the yield components depends on parameters such as soil quality, climatic conditions, and seed response to agronomic treatments (Khadtare et al, 2017;Zohmingliana et al, 2017). In this regard, the development of high-yield varieties requires breeding and farm management (Anamika et al, 2018).…”

For studying the effect of magnetic field on the number of capsules in each Sesamum indicum L. node, an experiment was carried out in a factorial randomized complete block design with three replications in Mashhad/Iran during 2017. The experiment consisted of three time use of fixed magnetic field as 1 Tesla (MF1 = 0, MF2 = 1, and MF3 = 10 min), and two kinds of caps as single-cap (CAP1) and multi-cap (CAP2) seeds. The results showed that the highest number of single-cap nodes and multi-cap nodes per plant were obtained from the application of MF3 treatment in CAP2 as 33.9 and 21.9 nodes, respectively and also obtained the highest numbers of capsules per plant with MF3 in CAP2. There was a significant correlation between seed weight and number of capsules per plant too (R=0.53 * ).

In this study, the impacts of irrigation water quality, soil characteristics and on-farm practices on paddy yields were investigated. Standard spectroscopy and spectrometry methods were used to analyze irrigation water and irrigated soil samples. The irrigation water had sodium adsorption (SAR) values ranging from 0 to 3. The corresponding electrical conductivity (EC) values were between 0.2 and 0.7 dS/m and accounted for 14% of all samples hence posing slight to moderate infiltration problem. Neither sodium nor chloride levels were high enough to cause toxicity problems in the irrigation water. For boron, 54% of the samples was found to have moderate toxicity whereas ~14% of the samples indicated severe boron toxicity in the irrigation water. For bicarbonate, about 86 and 14% of the irrigation water indicated slight-to moderate and severe potential detrimental effect to plant growth, respectively. The trace elements Fe2+, Zn2+, Cu2+, Mn2+, B, As, Cd, Cr2+, Pb2+, Ni2+, and Al3+ in the irrigation water samples were too low to cause any harmful effect. Although soil EC (0.2 to 1.9dS/m), organic carbon (OC) (0.1 to 2.4%) and pH (6.0 to 8.5) indicated favorable levels, there were significant variations in soil Fe (2.6 to 169.5 mg/kg) and Zn (3.9 to 204.1 mg/kg). The mean value of Fe in soils was 19.8 mg/kg. Soils indicated signs of Fe-deficiency. High variabilities were also found in the total N (86 to 2155 mg/kg) content of the studied paddy soils. The levels of phosphorus (Olson P, mean 224.2 ± 149.4 mg/kg) were found to be too high compared to what is reported as normal in similar studies. There might be unsustainable and excessive application of P-containing inputs in the studied area. Furthermore, a low soil K content was observed in the analyzed soil samples. The present study recommends that regular control of irrigation water HCO3 - , EC and controlling soil pH levels as well as adoption of standard on-farm practices following of crop calendar, proper application of fertilizers. Availability of extension officers to advice farmers is highly recommended.
