The Effect on the Germination Vigour of Cucumber Seeds after Receiving Magnetic Field Treatment Pre-Sowing
APPLIED SCIENCES-BASEL(2022)
Abstract
In the experiment, the impact of magnetisation on cucumber seeds is examined with the use of Bitter magnets with a constant magnetic field. The magnetisation process is performed in three magnetic fields: low-200 mT, medium-1 T, and high-9 T for 15 and 60 min. After germination, the biometric parameters are determined. The results of this research show that cucumber after pre-treatment in a magnetic field of 1 T for 60 min has a similar germination capacity and root length as the control sample. However, cucumber seeds magnetised in a 1 T field for 60 min have a significantly higher dry weight than the control sample (5.50 +/- 0.32 mg vs. 3.01 +/- 0.18 mg). The magnetisation in 9 T for both 15 and 60 min shows that these samples have a significantly lower germination capacity (86.8 +/- 4.4% and 81.4 +/- 7.3% vs. 91.8 a +/- 3.2%) and root length (1.78 +/- 0.02 cm and 4.42 +/- 0.83 cm vs. 8.21 +/- 0.34 cm) compared to the control sample. The cucumber seeds pre-treated at 9 T have a significantly greater dry weight than the control sample. Additionally, our research shows that some magnetic field intensities and magnetisation durations inhibit root growth and limit germination. These results are also important as they indicate which values of magnetic fields should be avoided.
