“…25,51 Numerous studies have demonstrated the beneficial impacts of magnetized-ionized water irrigation on seed germination, seedling growth, and plant morphological characteristics. 52,53 For instance, Zhang et al reported a substantial enhancement in cotton seed germination rates when irrigated with magnetized fresh and magnetized brackish water, with the latter exhibiting a more pronounced effect on cotton seedlings. 34 This enhancement is attributed to increased internal enzyme activity and metabolic capacity within the seeds, thereby enhancing seed vitality, germination, emergence rates, and net photosynthetic rates in crops.…”

BackgroundUnderstanding the enhancement of salt tolerance and crop growth in agricultural system through magnetized‐ionized water irrigation is crucial for advancing agricultural practices.MethodThis study examined the impacts of fresh water (F), brackish water (B), magnetized‐ionized fresh water (MIF), and magnetized‐ionized brackish water (MIB) on soil properties and the growth of cotton seedlings through microbial analysis during the cotton seedling period.ResultsThe results revealed that magnetized‐ionized water irrigation improves soil water retention and promotes salt leaching. In comparison to F irrigation, plant height, leaf area index (LAI), dry matter accumulation (DM), chlorophyll content (SPAD) levels increased by 3.61%, 4.07%, 5.76%, and 1.33%, respectively, under MIF irrigation. Similarly, when compared to B irrigation, LAI, DM, and SPAD increased by 5.13%, 6.12%, and 3.12% under MIB irrigation. Furthermore, magnetized‐ionized water irrigation led to a notable rise in the relative abundance of beneficial soil bacterial communities, particularly Pseudomonas and Azoarcus, as well as fungal like Trichoderma, while decreasing the prevalence of pathogenic fungi, such as Lasionectria, Gibberella, and Alternaria. Notably, this irrigation approach induced alterations in soil properties, and the partial least squares path modeling revealed significant links between soil properties and both cotton growth and fungal community structure (with path coefficients of −0.884 and 0.693, respectively).ConclusionThis study elucidated the distinct impacts of soil properties and growth indices on cotton yield during the seedling period, providing a crucial scientific foundation for enhancing future agricultural production through the use of magnetized‐ionized water irrigation.This article is protected by copyright.

“…The phototropism and the gravitropism have been intensely studied, but there is a lack of researches regarding the impact of EMF on germination and plant growth and development. Different studies indicate positive effects of treating seeds with an EMF in some cereals and vegetable species such as bean (Huang and Wang, 2008), onion (Alexander and Doijode, 1995), tomato (De Souza et al, 2006), chickpea (Grewal and Maheshwari, 2011) and pea (Es'kov and Rodionov, 2010). Based on these studies, different species respond differently to the EMF.…”

The current study aimed to investigate the effect of different treatments applied to sessile oak seeds in order to improve the germination features, development and growth of seedlings. The seeds were subjected to electric field, electromagnetic field and γ rays’ treatments. For the electric field study three distinct voltages (10V, 30V and 50V) and three values of exposure time (15 min., 35 min. and 60 min.) were considered. Displaying the seeds in an electric field for 60 minutes increased the germination rate with 58.89%. The highest value for the seedling’s height was obtained when seeds were exposed for 15 minutes at an intensity of 30V. The interaction between the intensity and the timing showed that treating seeds with 30V for 35 minutes improved significantly the seedlings peculiarities. In regard to the electromagnetic field, the seeds were subjected to a single value of electromagnetic field (B=0,4mT; i=0,680 A) and three values of exposure time: 10 min., 20 min. and 30 min. The sessile oak seeds subjected to the electromagnetic field for 20 minutes induced the highest value of germination percentage (90.00%) and germination index (1.81) and those seeds produced plantlets with high diameter (2.69 mm) and with significant differences towards non-treated plants. For γ rays treatments a dosage of 2 Gy induced the highest value of germination percentage (86.67%), of germination index (2.02); of germination energy (7.7); and of germination speed (7.24). A dosage of 6 Gy decreased the values of the same parameters. Our results showed that a dosage of 2 Gy improved also the growth parameters such as plantlets diameter (2.65 mm) and height (11.25 cm). In short, the physical treatments represent an ecological substitute approach towards the chemical substances presently used to improve seeds germination. Using physical treatments for seeds germination and growth of seedlings might be a harmless alternative for environment.

“…In recent years, the way magnetic fields and living systems interact gained interest and are being examined in detail. The interest of the research that has been carried out focuses both on human structures capable of producing different forms of magnetic fields (Soja et al, 2003), on the earth's natural magnetic field (Aksyonov et al, 2001;Es'kov and Rodionov, 2010) and how this can affect the biological functions of plants.…”

Magnetic field is a variable abiotic factor, like temperature, air, soil and water that interacts with the living organisms. The use of different types of magnetic field at many different plant species is increasing and the results are promising. A two-year field experiment was established following a completely randomized design, to investigate the effect of pre-sowing magnetic field treatment for 0, 15, 30 and 45 min on three broad bean varieties. The obtained results showed that the treatment of seeds with pulsed electromagnetic field increased germination percentage, chlorophyll content, leaf area, photosynthetic rate, transpiration rate, stomatal conductance and dry weight. In general, the exposure of seeds for 15 min, gave the highest values compared to the control treatments for the three varieties used. A very interesting result is the fact that although there was an influence of the exposure of magnetic field on the dry weight of the plants, there was not a positive or a negative influence on the seed yield for both years. This means that magnetic field enhanced the vegetative development of the broad beans, but it had no effect on the reproductive development. The results indicate that magnetic field can be used in the cases that the productive direction of the cultivation of broad beans is for livestock forage and silage, as the pre-sowing treatment of seeds had a positive effect on plant dry weight. *** In press - Online First.
