Abstract
This study reports an attempt to investigate the effects of AC magnetic field on the seed germination and seedling growth of beans, at different concentrations of CaCl 2, since Ca 2+ is an essential plant nutrient. Bean seeds were exposed to a combination of local geomagnetic field (DC field) and sinusoidal time-varying extremely low frequency (ELF) magnetic field (AC field) 28.3 Hz, 20 μT AC field tuned to the fundamental cyclotron resonance for calcium ions. . The application of AC field promoted the germination of bean seeds for all CaCl 2 concentrations. There was no significant change of average weight of the radicals for all concentrations of CaCl 2, whereas there was a significant increase of radicals’ length for deionized (DD) and distilled DD water and DD water+ Ca 10 mM.
