OBSERVATIONS ON THE EFFECTS OF MAGNETIC FIELD ACTION ON SPRUCE (PICEA ABIES) AND WILLOW (ROBINIA PSEUDOACACIA) GERMINATION

Abstract

The biological material analyzed consists in spruce and willow seeds exposed to magnetic field. Notable differences were observed between the stimulated variant and witness in what concerns the germination, growing and development of plants. The locust plants grew up to 7-9 cm in height and were noticeably more vigorous than the witness variant that arrived at 5-7 cm in height. Differences in germination, growing and development were observed at the spruce plants too, between the two variants. Applying magnetic field proved to be beneficial, with notable differences for both germination and plant growth.
