Functions of magnetically treated water in soil and plants.

Plant Species Method Effect Reference
Solanum melomgena L.
Vicia faba L.
Solanum lycopersicon L.
MTW Neutralizing soil pH value
The yield gain per water unit was 2.47% on average for the three crops
[57]
Lens culinaris Medik 110 mT MW Significantly enhanced the activity of APX and decreased the activity of SOD [67]
Allium cepa L. MTW
(120–150 mT)
Increased the amount of phosphorus in leaves
Lowered soil alkalinity
[59]
Citrus sinensis [L.] Osbeck MTW Seeds with low vigor can be invigorated
13.3% increase in germination
[24]
Triticum aestivum L. MTW
MF-treated seeds
Decreased the downward mobility of the mineral compounds [10]
Apium graveolens L.
Pisum sativum L.
MTW (136 mT) MTW mitigated the adverse effects of drought in the Moringa species by improving the Na+/K+ ratio [23]
Moringa oleifera Lam.
M. peregrina (Forssk. Fiori)
MTW (30 mT) Increased efficiency of salty water and enhanced growth criteria [63]
Cynara scolymus L. MTW (300 mT) Increased photosynthetic pigments significantly
Increased nutrient uptake efficiency (N, P, K, Fe, Mn, Zn, and Cu)
[65]
Fragaria × ananassa
Solanum lycopersicum Lam.
MTW Increased protein content (28.92%), alpha amylase (11.36%), and protease activities (14.76%) over the control [61]
Brassica rapa L. var. glabra Regel MTW (211 mT) Decreased EC and TDS by 15.60% after 300 min
The soil-soluble Na+ significantly decreased from 15.53 to 8.57 mEq/L
[68]
Cucumis sativus L.
Cucumis melo L.
MTW (40 mT)
MF (40 mT) treated seeds
A higher nutrient uptake, reduction of toxicitym, and sodium concentration in the aerial parts
Increased the amount of phosphorus in leaves, lowering soil alkalinity
[62,69]
