Use of magnetically polarized water in horticultural research

Abstract

Irrigation water is a poly-phasic system, which consists of water in combination with dissolved and dispersed substances. Magnetically polarized water can be obtained by using installations that use an energy source. Several mobile water distribution devices equipped with ferrite permanent magnets have been made for trickle irrigation. When creating these devices, the aim was to exploit the magnetic field areas with maximum intensity, in order to obtain a maximum yield of water treatment. The mobile distribution devices can be located at any point of the hydraulic system and can diversify their functions. The research carried out revealed the affinity of plants to magnetically polarized water. A number of effective results have been obtained in the germination of seeds in some tree species such as cherry and sour cherry, as well as conifers.
