The effects of magnetic water treatment for improving germination of some medicinal plants

Abstract EN

Three magnetic fields (2000,3000 and 4000) guass were used to study the germination of five types of medicinal plant seed (Nigella sativa, Coriandrum sativum, Cuminum cyminum, Eruca sativa and Foenicutum.

vulgare).

The seeds were incubated in the dark and in certain moisture at three different temperature levels (10, 18 and 22)°C for 14 days.

During the growth experiments, the best temperature of germination was found at 18°C, where it excelled three seed of five and gave a high percentage of germination to F.

vulgare E.

sativa C.

sativum.

Magnetic fields showed a differential effect in plant seed with different temperature.

Where the seeds of F.

vulgare and C.

sativum gave the highest percentage of germination at 18°C.
