Effect of Magnetic Treatment of Water or Seeds on Germination and Productivity of Tomato Plants under Salinity Stress

Abstract: 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 … Show more

“…Since the plant has better water and mineral status, it's more likely to produce more with better quality fruit than stressed plant. Similar results as ours concerning yield and fruit quality were obtained in other studies [7][8][9][10].…”

“…Also, it has been found that magnetic treated water had an impact on some properties of the soil such as decrease of soil NaCl content, which causes salinity, in some case with magnetic treated water irrigation [5,6]; increase in soil nutrient content and microbial activity [7]. Some trials with saline water have given satisfactory results both on the vegetative development of plant and on the yield [8][9][10].…”

“…The increased salinity level delayed the germination of seeds and reduced the germination rate (Hajer et al, 2006). Salinity and osmotic stress affect the delay in the speed of germination and the decrease in germination percentage, which impedes the water uptake of the seeds (Romero-Aranda et al, 2001;Samarah et al, 2021).…”

“…The magnetic effect of water is due to changes in the chemical and physical properties of water, which leads to an improvement in its solubility properties (Chang and Weng, 2008;Amiri et al, 2006). The use of magnetic water significantly improves the germination and emergence of seeds (Samarah et al, 2021;Aladjadjiyan 2002;Podlesny et al, 2004;Pietruszewski and Kania, 2010;Qados et al, 2010). The magnetic water interacts with the ions in the cell membrane of the seed embryo, which leads to a decrease in the osmotic pressure (Yaycili et al, 2005) or an increase in the seed's absorption of water (Reina et al, 2001).…”
