Investigating the Influence of Magnets in the Growth of String Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) Plant

Abstract

Magnetic treatment has potential as an agricultural tool, particularly for seed germination and seedling development. This study advances the knowledge of the effects of magnetic treatment on string beans (Phaseolus vulgaris) plants. The plants subjected to magnetic treatment are more significant in size, height, and overall health. The t-test result shows a considerable difference between the control and experimental groups, which signifies the effectiveness of the magnetic treatment in the growth of the string bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) plant. Farmers are encouraged to explore employing magnets as a low-cost alternative to fertilizer, enabling increased plant development and healthy growth even without traditional fertilizers. Economists may adopt magnetic treatment for its environmentally favorable properties and the transfer or continuing treatment of healthy, magnetically exposed seedlings. Future researchers are encouraged to perform more studies to acquire more evidence on the efficacy of magnetic treatment.
