Study of effect of AC and DC magnetic fields on growth of Pisum sativum seeds

The Effects of Uniform and Nonuniform Magnetic Fields in Plant Growth: A Meta‐Analysis Approach

“…In 1942, Murphy reported accelerated germination in different types of seeds exposed to a magnetic disturbance [Murphy, 1942]. More recently, the effects of a MF on the growth and development of different crops, such as T. aestivum [Fischer et al, 2004;Alikamanoglu and Şen, 2011], Zea mays [Florez et al, 2007;Shine and Guruprasad, 2012], Glycine max [Atak et al, 2007;Shine et al, 2011;Asghar et al, 2016], Solanum lycopersicum [Martinez et al, 2009;De Souza et al, 2010], and Pisum sativum [Carbonell Padrino et al, 2000;Bahar et al, 2013] have been reported.…”

For instance, exposure of seeds to a MF as a presowing treatment enhanced the germination rate and speed in G. max , increased fresh and dry weight in Zea mays , and increased shoot and root length in T. aestivum [Florez et al, 2007; Shine et al, 2011; Payez et al, 2013].…”
