Performance of crops growth under low frequency electric and magnetic fields

The biological effects of extremely low frequency magnetic fields (ELF MFs) on living organisms have been explored in many studies, but few of them investigate the combination effect of both magnetic and electric fields act upon their growth. In this study, the biological effects of electric and magnetic field on the early growth of plants are presented using different beans. The electric and magnetic fields are produced using a specially-made test cell. The results indicate that the electric field has an enhancing effect on the early growth of the tested crops, however some morbid state phenomena were observed on some crops. Also, the effect and morbidity rate increases with electric field intensity.
