Magnetic fields: influence of their properties in the agricultural production process

Abstract

Current efforts to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals to combat and eradicate hunger have led different specialized sectors of society to launch themselves in search of ways that lead to this end. In this sense, the research, development, and innovation (R+D+i) approach has generated various optimized methods to obtain the greatest possible benefits, through important contributions such as the development of varieties with greater resistance to pests and diseases, adverse weather conditions, use of biological agents, agriculture in a controlled environment, among others. The objective of this document is to show the advances in the application of magnetic fields as a tool to improve the productivity of different crops, as part of the techniques of recent application in the agricultural field. Considering the main treatment methods, application characteristics, and the explanation of the possible effects caused in plant entities. Attempts have been made to use scientific articles from different databases, but with significant levels of reliability, measured through the impact indices involved. With a few exceptions, the review of documents published, preferably in the last ten years, and based mostly on specialized conceptualizations was used as a way to find out what is going on with this topic right now.
