Electromagnetic Effect on Plant Growth

Introduction

An electric field effects pea plant growth. In the presence of an electric field, the height of the stem and the length of the roots are more than those without an electric field. The change in growth rate depends on electric field, temperature and humidity. Experiments show that if an electric field intensity of 25 kv/m is applied and temperature and humidity are controlled at 28 degree Celsius and 65% respectively, then the height of the stem increases by 24% and length of roots by 33%.

Analysis Magnetic field (MF) and electromagnetic field (EMF) which has started to draw an increasing attention by the researchers are related to each other. Many researchers working in fields such as biology, medicine, and agriculture have been interested about the influences of MF and EMF exchanges on the biological structures and much work has been carried out on this topic (Belyavskaya et al, 657-666). As a result of these researches, it was determined that there were no significant differences between MF and EMF's effect on mechanisms of the biological systems Studies on the meristem cells of the pea plant have shown that MF is an element that effects normal cell metabolisms and also has impacts on the cell division. However, it is difficult to evaluate the effects on the organisms that have been exposed to EMF. The reason is the complexity of the biological systems' structures. In numerous experiments, it has been investigated that EMF's effects on organisms vary depending on the intensity of the magnetic field, frequency, exposure duration to EMF, genotype of organisms and the biological system (Aarholt et al, 613-621).

A plant's metabolism contains 90-95% of water which is a diamagnetic compound and the rest contains several para, ferro & diamagnetic metals and non-metals in minute forms. So, if a plant is placed in an oscillatory magnetic field the para & ferro-magnetics oscillate in their magnetic moment along the field by tracing the hysteresis curve according to Currie & Wiess Law1 where as the dia-magnetics oscillate opposing the field in perpendicular direction by obeying the dehass-Van Alphan theory (Aladjadjiyan, pp 90-94). But, the para & ferro oscillate with ...
