Abstract

Abstract. It is possible to increase crop yields, reduce plant incidence, improve agricultural quality without the use of chemical fertilizers when treating seeds before sowing in a magnetic field and soaking them in magnetically activated water.

At present, the theory of magnetic treatment of water systems is at the stage of proposing and justifying hypotheses, although it has been experimentally found that magnetic treatment of water alters its physical and chemical properties. Therefore, it is necessary to disclose the mechanisms and patterns of action of the magnetic field on water.

The purpose of the work was to determine the regime parameters of water treatment in a magnetic field for soaking seeds of crops.

Based on the studies, it was found that the rate of chemical reactions in the aqueous medium, the solubility of the salts, the specific conductivity of the water, the pH and the oxygen concentration increase with the treatment of water in the magnetic field, and the redox potential decreases. This causes an improvement in the sowing quality of the seeds when soaked in magnetically activated water.

The effect of magnetic treatment depends on the square of the magnetic induction, the number of magnetizations and the velocity of water  movement in the magnetic field.

It is established that the most effective mode of treatment of water and seeds in the magnetic field is a magnetic induction of 0.065 T with a fourfold magnetization and a velocity of movement of 0.4 m/s.

Under this treatment, when soaking seeds in magnetically activated water, the germination energy of oat seeds increased by 25 % compared to the control, and germination by 19 %.

 Key words: water, oats, magnetic induction, velocity of movement, germination energy, germination
