Influence of conditioned water on germination and initial of growth selected crop species

Exact laboratory experience was conducted in year 2006. It consisted of a series of tests aimed to determine the effect exerted by water subject to magnetic treatment on germination and growth of examined plants. The following plants were tested: Coriander Coriandrum sativum,, Salvia Salvia officinalis, Bean Phaseolus vulgaris, Cucumber Cucumis dativus. All experiment stages were car-ried out in germination apparatuses, which were provided with bases consisting of two layers of impurity-free absorbent paper. Individual plants were examined according to the following pattern: three repetitions 50 seeds each for the test object and for an object, where water treated with magnetic field was used. Mag-netizer consisting of several sections was used to obtain the effect of water “magnetization”. One section consists of an axially magnetized ring-shaped magnet made of barium ferrite and ring-shaped steel pole. After having pene-trated the pole, magnetic fluxes generated by magnets change their direction from axial to radial [www.crylomag.com.pl]. Magnetizer version used in the experiment is a model without flange with the following parameters: working pressure 0.6 MPa, average water flow 2.25 m3•h-1, induction value 0.30 T. The effect of mag-netic water treatment has been achieved by letting the medium pass through the ...
