Abstract
One of the ways to improve the quality of water used in agriculture is using a magnetic field. The water shortage in the country and the continuation of droughts are considered to be the most important factors limiting growth. In this research, effect of magnetic water on the growth and yield of two plants, Zea mays and Hibiscus sabdariffa was investigated using three treatments of magnetic water including nagnetic water(T1), electromagnetic with high frequency range(T2) and electromagnetic with low frequency range(T3) and a control in the educational and research field of Semnan University. In order to investigate the effect of different magnetic water treatments on the morphological characteristics of Zea mays and Hibiscus sabdariffa, an experiment was prepared and implemented in the form of a completely randomized block design (four blocks and three replications). Results revealed that Zea mays yield in treatment T3 was 1663 gram and was outwighted about 147 gram compard to the control yield. Yield of Hibiscus sabdariffa plant for treatments of T1, T2 and T3 was 259.3, 268,6 and 235.4, respectively. Although, The results of this survey showed that the effect of three magnetic water treatments on the growth performance of Zea mays and Hibiscus sabdariffa is not statistically significant at the 95% confidence level. In general, the results of this research show that magnetic water can greatly increase the yield of Zea mays, but the irrigation of Hibiscus sabdariffa with magnetized water increases growth, and the yield is better during the days of cultivation.
